  • Use of LiDAR and historical aerials to verify previous wetland determinations before performing field review – Cost savings!
  • Coordination with USFWS and NASA concerning Florida scrub-jay habitat impacts was assessed using the KSC Florida Scrub-jay Compensation Plan.
  • A thorough review of historical documentation identified approximately 12 units of excess federal mitigation credit for use on future projects ~$1-1.5M savings.
