Little River Consultants was founded on the premise that to provide the most effective natural resource services, consultants need to stay in touch with, grounded if you will, the natural resources themselves. In 2015, after 25 years in the natural resources industry, our President and Chief Ecologist, Rachele Baker, decided the time was ripe to take a serious step in correcting what she saw as a slow decline in the commitment and connection of more senior members of the industry to the actual work being done. Since 2015, LRC has successfully navigated the launch and continued growth of a small business by emphasizing a hands-on approach and remaining connected on the project level combined with a special focus on developing junior scientists. We have participated in and completed close to 200 projects in just five short years and we are confident that our extensive experience can assist you with any natural resource services you require. The services we offer include, but are not limited to: Wetland delineations and determinations Stream assessment Habitat assessment Wetland/stream mitigation design Habitat mitigation design Construction oversight Mitigation monitoring Floristic inventories Clean Water Act Section 404/401 permit applications Construction-in-a-Floodway permit applications Rule 5 NOIs Erosion control inspections Stormwater quality BMP design and monitoring Macroinvertebrate and fisheries Index of Biotic Integrity (mIBI and IBI) Watershed studies NEPA documents Certified as: Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) - IDOA Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) - INDOT INDOT Prequalifications: 5.1 Environmental Document Preparation - EA/EIS 5.2 Environmental Document Preparation - CE 5.3 Environmental Document Preparation - Section 4(f) 5.4 Ecological Surveys 5.5 Wetland Mitigation 5.6 Waterway Permits IDOA Prequalifications: Wetland and Prairie Restoration Visit our website or call us to discuss your specific needs!
