NEPA Support and Ecological Studies​​​

Thunderbird provides a full range of NEPA assessment and documentation support including completion of Environmental Assessments (EA), Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), and ecological studies. Thunderbird has a vast network of trusted teaming partners and subject matter experts that enable us to assist our federal and private sector clients with the NEPA process in a rapid, efficient, and defensible manner. We prepare comprehensive environmental documents that describe purpose and need, evaluate alternatives, characterize the affected environment, and identify the environmental impacts associated with a proposed action.
