Tetra Tech’s biologists, economists, engineers,
geomorphologists, and fisheries professionals
represent a complete team adept at performing habitat
restoration projects of all sizes and scope. Our
comprehensive services span the fields of
environmental assessment; habitat evaluations;
endangered species studies; aquatic habitat
restoration; marine biology, estuary and marsh
studies; wetland impact studies; water quality
analyses; fisheries and benthic community surveys;
and instream flow analyses.
We have developed wetland and marsh enhancement
and restoration programs in natural streams, in
lakes, and along coastal regions. Projects have
included reconnection of secondary channels to rivers,
dam removal, estuarine marsh restoration.
Capabilities include evaluating applicable Federal and
state laws and regulations, analyzing system
response to proposed actions and/or inactions,
coordination of multi-disciplinary teams for
preparation of permit applications according to
applicable Federal and state laws and regulations to
environmental documents and EISs.
Unique to Tetra Tech’s team is the ability to develop
and apply environmental output evaluations, allowing
our team to quantify and compare the relative
environmental benefits provided by numerous
alternative plans. This process allows our clients to
see the big picture, enabling them to make the most
sensible, responsible decisions. We have applied many
models including HEP, HGM, and WET, and often
develop HEP-like models that are tailored to the
specific decision-support needs of individual projects.
