Federally Listed
Species Surveys

HBC offers comprehensive biological assessments to evaluate the potential impacts to federally listed species within project areas. These assessments include an in depth desktop analysis, site visit, habitat evaluation, and a detailed analysis of the project and potential impacts to the species that may occur within the area. By identifying sensitive species and their habitats early in the planning process, HBC helps clients design projects that avoid or minimize impacts to ensure your project keeps moving forward while maintaining compliance.

We specialize in preparing detailed documentation required for Endangered Species Act (ESA) compliance, including Section 7 Biological Assessments. These documents support both formal and informal consultations with federal agencies, ensuring that projects receive timely approvals while maintaining compliance to regulatory requirements. HBC’s team has extensive experience interpreting federal guidelines and translating them into practical compliance strategies that align with project objectives.


HBC provides on-the-ground construction monitoring and environmental compliance oversight for activities occurring within the habitats of federally protected species. Biologists monitor work sites to ensure avoidance measures are properly implemented. This field presence helps maintain compliance with permit conditions and provides real-time solutions to unexpected issues that may arise during construction.
