Wetland Services


Wetland regulations can seriously impact your ability to develop a property, expand an existing facility, or complete future phases of an existing project. A wetland evaluation is often used as part of the due diligence process for acquisition of real estate or to assist in land use planning and design development.

Lu Engineers approach to wetland services blends technical expertise with a current understanding of changing federal, state and local agency regulations and policies. We work with project designers to fit projects into the limits of encroachments allowed by waivers and government requirements. Lu Engineers can also prepare the complex documentation required for individual wetland permits.

Our full complement of civil engineering and water resources staff including hydrologists, engineers, surveyors, natural resource scientists, and soil scientists offer complete in-house services for the efficient design, creation and hydrologic modeling and construction monitoring of wetland sites.

Our professional certified staff is trained in the "Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands" and other state and federal documents for delineating federally regulated wetlands. We have broad expertise in preparing permit applications that incorporate a wetland delineation report, impact analysis, and mitigation design.
