Areas of Expertise T&B PLANNING CONSULTANTS, INC. <br />AREAS OF EXPERTISE <br />■ Environmental Services <br />T&B Planning's Environmental Division was formed in 1991 to provide environmental consulting <br />services, focused on California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance. With the opening <br />of a branch office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 2006, the firm began offering National <br />Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) consulting services. The firm regularly serves as the lead <br />environmental consultant and document preparation, processing, and management firm for CEQA <br />projects and serves as a technical consultant for NEPA projects. T&B Planning also frequently <br />assembles and manages teams of technical experts specifically selected to best serve the needs of each <br />individual project to support its CEQA and NEPA documents. Acting as project manager and <br />primary consultant responsible for environmental analyses, document preparation, and processing, we <br />offer our clients quality control through a specially selected professional team of experts. <br />T&B Planning is well respected for preparing environmental documents that are easily understood, <br />accurate, and legally defensible. The firm's documents are heavily researched and well-grounded <br />with technical support provided by professionals specifically chosen for each project. In addition to <br />technically sound environmental documentation and management, T&B Planning also is respected for <br />its ability to mitigate by design. Mitigation by design often meets project goals and objectives while <br />avoiding or reducing mitigation costs, providing greater protection of the natural environment, and <br />maintaining project feasibility. T&B Planning is highly committed to transforming potential <br />environmental obstacles into opportunities by preserving significant resources while promoting <br />efficient and economically feasible development projects. By committing ourselves to this approach, <br />the ensuing environmental documentation becomes clearer, more concise, and more likely to be <br />certified and withstand legal challenge. <br />T&B Planning environmental services include: <br />➢ Environmental constraints analysis, which provides information on existing site conditions <br />and early direction for planning and design. <br />➢ Participation in environmental issue scoping and preparation of Environmental Initial Studies <br />and Notices of Preparation. <br />➢ Consultation with public agencies, quasi -public agencies and private clients on compliance <br />with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). <br />➢ Preparation of CEQA documents, including but not limited to, Environmental Impact <br />Reports (EIRs), Addenda, Negative Declarations and Mitigated Negative Declarations. <br />➢ Third -party peer review and editing of CEQA documents and technical reports for public <br />agencies and private clients. <br />3 <br />
