Description

ECORP uses a combination of visual simulation programs including ArcGIS, AutoCAD Civil3D, Sketch-up, and Photoshop to prepare clear and useful before and after representations of projects in support of land use applications and CEQA and NEPA documents. We have provided visual simulation services for mining, solar, and transmissions line projects for private and public development. ECORP is also experienced in conducting scenic quality and sensitivity impact analysis per the Bureau of Land Management’s Visual Resource Management (VRM), U.S. Forest Service, and customized methodologies.

ECORP's mapping needs are met by its Computer-Based Mapping department staff who are experienced in image analysis, Geographic Information Systems ( GIS ), and Computer-Aided Design ( CAD ). Systems are integrated to provide the most effective and efficient solutions to complex mapping and analytical problems. ECORP has extensive experience using the ESRI suite of GIS products, Autodesk AutoCAD packages, and Trimble Pathfinder Global Positioning System ( GPS ) units and geomatics applications.

ECORP’s biological expertise includes amphibian ecology, survey capabilities and Endangered Species Act and special-status species compliance (listed, special-status, and other species). ECORP biologists hold necessary state and federal permits and have extensive experience conducting habitat assessments, presence/absence surveys, and consultations for several state and federally-listed species and other special-status species throughout California.

ECORP frequently prepares applications for and negotiates the issuance of federal permits on our client’s behalf. We have extensive experience with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers through obtaining Clean Water Act, Section 404, Nationwide Permit authorizations, Letters of Permission, and Individual Permits. We also author Clean Water Act, Section 404(b)(1) alternatives analyses, as required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

ECORP works with water managers, project owners, and operators to develop water supply forecast procedures and forecast inflow to project facilities. Information about the volume of water that can be expected at project facilities is invaluable in assisting in planning, considering project operational decisions, determining demand curtailments, and providing the ability to meet other project needs.
