About Terry Powers
I am a Senior Environmental Planner and Natural Resource Manager with more than two decades of Project Management experience in land use development and conservation. I provide high-quality, legally defensible environmental research and documentation to assist private and public clients comply with land use and environmental regulations such as the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). I have authored and/or assisted in developing numerous environmental documents including Mitigated Negative Declarations (MNDs), Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), Environmental Assessments (EAs), Environmental Impact Statements (EISs), Biological Assessments (BAs) Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans (INRMPs), Biological Technical Reports, Habitat Restoration Plans, Habitat Conservation Plans, and Environmental Education Plans. I have also provided Endangered Species Act (ESA) Section 7 consultation support and assistance with preparing Clean Water Act applications permits.
Since 2010, I have focused on providing land use development and conservation consultation services to federal clients including the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Defense Logistics Agency, National Parks Service, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Give me a call at your convenience to discuss how to best approach your land use project, or how I may be able to supplement your environmental staffing needs.
