Environmental Assessments

Environmental Assessments are often required when development of land is proposed. K2S Engineering provides an assessment through academic research, site visit(s) and data collection. NRCS soil surveys, GIS maps, historical land use references, and non game heritage resource evaluation are utilized to gather academic information. Data collection often coincides with a field visit to dig test pits, take digital photos, and determine habitat losses and other possible impacts. K2S will help determine possible management practices and protocols that will help mitigate and/or minimize the impacts the development will incur.

Wetland Delineation

Wetland delineations are required by government agencies to determine boundaries and acreage of wetland areas whenever development is involved in an area that contains wetlands. K2S Engineering provides this service with a field visit by an Environmental Specialist, trained in accordance to US Army Corps of Engineers standards. The specialist will flag the boundaries of wetland areas using USACOE procedural data collection protocol, survey if needed, and compile a report to be approved by the Local Governing Unit.

Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan

SWPPP (Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan) Designs are required when the runoff from a project may contaminate the water of surrounding watersheds. K2S Engineering provides design services using AUTO CAD software to develop the an overall site plan with diversion ditches and sediment basins, and determine practices to minimize the impacts on the water quality.
