Environmental Consulting Services for Solar and BESS Project (Virginia)

GAI completed a Phase I ESA and identified two recognized environmental conditions (RECs) in the vicinity of the proposed facility. GAI also developed a complete permitting matrix so the client could plan for the longest lead items as the project is developed.

Wind and Solar Farm Hydrology and Hydraulics Studies (Multiple States)

GAI performed preliminary hydrology and hydraulics (H&H) studies for solar farms located in Alabama, Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, New York, and Texas. A desktop review of applicable federal, state, and local regulations was completed to govern the design of proposed drainage features. GAI developed a two-dimensional surface water runoff model using computer program FLO-2D to identify existing runoff patterns and interactions with proposed project features. FLO-2D model was run for the 2-year, 10-year, 25-year, 50-year, and 100-year storm events and provided maps showing maximum anticipated flow depths and velocities. The models were based on topography, watersheds maps, NOAA rainfall data, landcover/land use data, and soil data.
