Featured Projects

Beebe I & II Community Wind Farm

Two separate Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) permit application packages were prepared to obtain both a general and public notice permit for wetland, inland lake and streams, and floodplain impacts associated with the project.

To kickstart the project, our survey team provided a constraints map that identified blanket easement impacts throughout the project site.
