OTHER SERVICES
At White Buffalo Environmental, we provide a full suite of environmental services to support land development, permitting, risk assessment, and regulatory compliance across diverse industries. From property due diligence to federally regulated environmental reviews and pollution prevention planning, our team delivers practical solutions that help projects move forward with confidence and compliance.
NEPA & SECTION 106 INVESTIGATIONS
White Buffalo conducts federal environmental reviews under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 cultural resource evaluations. These services include:
-
NEPA impact investigations for federally funded or licensed projects
-
Tribal Historic Preservation Office (THPO) and State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) consultation
-
Permitting review and coordination with agencies
-
Support for development projects involving SBA, USDA/RUS, FCC, and other federal programs
These reviews reduce regulatory risk and ensure smoother progress through critical approval processes.
PERMITTING & ZONING
Navigating local, state, and federal permitting requirements is essential to keeping infrastructure and development projects on schedule. White Buffalo Environmental provides comprehensive zoning and permitting support, helping clients identify jurisdictional requirements, prepare application packages, coordinate with regulatory agencies, and manage the approval process from planning through construction.
Our team works with wireless, broadband, utility, energy, and commercial development projects, ensuring permitting requirements are addressed early to reduce delays, minimize risk, and support efficient project delivery.
Our zoning and permitting services include:
Permit Application Preparation & Management
-
Preparation, submission, and tracking of local, state, and federal permit applications to support timeline project approvals.
Zoning & Land Use Coordination
-
Preparation, submission, and tracking of local, state, and federal permit applications to support timely project approvals.
-
Assistance with zoning reviews, land use requirements, public hearings, and coordination with municipalities and governing authorities.
Agency Coordination & Regulatory Support
-
Direct communication with permitting agencies, utilities, and stakeholders to facilitate approvals and resolve regulatory challenges throughout the project lifecycle.
The result is a streamlined permitting process, reduced project delays, and greater confidence that regulatory requirements have been addressed before construction begins.
PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS
A Phase I ESA identifies potential environmental risks and liabilities tied to a property, providing defensible insight into contamination history and regulatory exposure prior to acquisition or development.
*We also offer Environmental Transaction Screening Assessments for clients who need an expedited, lower-intensity evaluation.
STORMWATER POLLUTION PLANNING PREVENTION (SWPPP)
Compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Construction General Permit requires a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). White Buffalo prepares SWPPP documentation, monitors implementation, and offers recommendations for remediation or ongoing management to help operators maintain compliance and reduce erosion and runoff risks.
