Key Outcomes
Project Background
A large private, investor-owned utility had developed a backlog of vegetation clearance prescriptions (15,000+), wood pole replacement projects, and related facilities work. Local vendors were not able to address the environmental screening and permitting workload in a timely manner.
Scope
Orion staff conducted desktop environmental constraints reviews and database searches to assess proposed projects for potential to trigger discretionary agency permits. Screening utilized GIS and associated databases. Orion staff provided releases for construction and provisional releases for construction with prescribed BMP’s and avoidance measures. Orion staff also directed permitting activities for projects that could not be reconfigured to avoid discretionary permits.
- Reduced client backlog of over 15,000 proposed projects
- Cleared over 90 percent of proposed projects of need for discretionary environmental permits
- Utilized BMP’s and mitigations to expedite discretionary permitting activities
- Facilitated attainment of production and data quality goals
