Burleson Consulting

Founded in 2001, Burleson Consulting has grown to 32 environmental staff in our Sacramento, Monterey, Orange, and San Diego, California, area offices. We are a leading provider of environmental compliance and engineering services for federal, state, municipal, and industrial clients throughout California. Burleson provides quality environmental compliance, site assessment and remediation, and water resources services to government and private-sector clients. Our professionals have environmental experience and in-depth knowledge of the latest technologies, developments in environmental compliance, remediation, and permitting services. We are experienced with NEPA, CEQA, CERCLA, RCRA, and water quality permitting and monitoring. Our environmental specialists work with project applicants, engineers, municipalities, and resource agencies to develop design alternatives that avoid or minimize impacts to sensitive resources. Our wetland permitting specialists have a comprehensive understanding of mitigation monitoring and permitting requirements associated with resource impacts and the implications on budget and schedule. Our experience includes protocol biological surveys, habitat mapping, wetland delineations, biological assessments, agency consultation, and public participation, including administrative records, hearings, stakeholder coordination, and public workshops. We provide construction worker training on threatened and endangered species and habitat identification. We have completed numerous environmental projects and have participated in Section 7 & 106 consultations; 1602, 404, and 401 permitting, wetland delineations, and special status species surveys. Burleson successfully crafts feasible project design alternatives that qualify for expedited environmental review and often require fewer environmental permits through an approach that incorporates the environmental principles of avoidance and minimization and meets all technical engineering requirements. This directly benefits the project schedule and budget. We have completed multifaceted environmental documents for office complexes, power plants, surface water resources, transmission lines, and maintenance facilities. The substantial site assessment and remediation experience of our scientists and engineers enable us to effectively solve our clients' environmental contamination challenges. With expertise at preliminary assessments, site inspections, site characterization, and remedial investigations, Burleson brings a creative, cost-efficient approach to the characterization and remediation of contaminated sites. We also use site information to evaluate, identify, and implement sound remedies to support client goals. We have significant experience working at abandoned mine lands in remote areas, DOD facilities, and active industrial facilities.
