Illustrative Field Work
Representative Project Overview
 Heritage Mixed-Use DevelopmentDuBois prepared and submitted a CAFRA Individual Permit and freshwater wetland General Permits for the Heritage Minerals project, which is a residential, commercial and recreation development project. This large-scale project includes development of a 1,000-acre development area of a denuded historic mining area, and preservation and habitat mitigation on 6,000 acres of surrounding properties. |  2017 Bat Acoustic ServicesIn 2017 DuBois provides our clients with bat acoustic services, which has become fundamental since the 2015 listing of the northern long-eared bat as a Federal threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. As a condition of Federal and State environmental permits, DuBois has assisted clients in the determination that their projects are not likely to adversely affect Federal listed bat species. In 2015, DuBois monitored 40 bat acoustic survey sites, which included over 50 linear miles |  Stream Clean-up MonitoringA mining company inadvertently caused a spill of stone sediment that impacted 1.7 miles of wood turtle stream habitat in northern New Jersey. Construction crews created check dams to catch the sediment and technology created for the purpose of vacuuming contaminants and sediment from stream systems. DuBois was on site for the duration of the project to ensure wood turtles would not be impacted by the cleanup process activities. |

 Eagles Nest AirportDuBois prepared and submitted a CAFRA Individual Permit for the Eagles Nest Airport, to authorize two airport hangers and stormwater management facilities. The project also includes the development of a CAFRA Node to include the airport property. |  14-Acre Lake Reclamation Project14-acre Lake Reclamation Project – DuBois Environmental Consultants were contracted to remove and temporarily relocate Pennsylvania’s largest eastern redbelly turtle population prior to a 9-month dredging project. DuBois removed and relocated 523 turtles total, including over 120 redbelly turtles from the lake. 10 redbelly turtles were affixed with transmitters and their locations radio-tracked throughout the spring, summer and fall seasons to track behavior and obtain activity parameters. |  Waterfront Development and PermittingDuBois specializes in waterfront development and permitting for various projects in the coastal areas of New Jersey, including the dredging of marinas. |
 Federally Listed Threatened SpeciesThe northern long-eared bat was federally listed a threatened species on April 2, 2015. From 2015 to 2017, DuBois conducted over 400 net nights of mist netting to physically capture northern long-eared bats. Radio-tracking of captured northern long-eared bats has resulted in the identification of critical roosting areas and the identification of critical summer habitat for this imperiled species. |  Eagle Ridge Mixed-Use DevelopmentDuBois submitted a CAFRA Individual Permit and Freshwater Wetlands General Permit application and received approval from the NJDEP to authorize the construction of a 1,034-unit residential and retail/commercial development on the Eagle Ridge Golf Course property. As part of the approval DuBois developed a Red-Headed Woodpecker Habitat Management Plan that balances the need for red-headed woodpecker habitat protection and site development. |  Ocean County Airport 2013-2014DuBois just celebrated the grand opening of a new Crosswind Runway at the Ocean County Airport in Berkeley Township. The runway was needed to provide a safer landing alternative for smaller aircraft during adverse wind and weather conditions. The Crosswind Runway is the newest runway constructed in New Jersey in the last 30 years. Scientists from DuBois were instrumental in providing biological oversight during the project to protect the resources of the Pinelands. |
 Delisting of Delmarva Fox SquirrelBetween 2009 and 2011, biologists with DuBois conducted county-wide photomonitoring surveys in Southern Maryland documenting distribution and population trends of the Federally listed Delmarva Fox Squirrel. We are happy to see that a 2012 status review found that the species has rebounded so well, that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is preparing to propose to remove the squirrel from Endangered Species Act protection.

This project included multi-jurisdictional coordination and project management, that also involved collaboration with USACE regarding the Federal dredging project of the Delaware River channel. |  Hibernaculas MonitoringHibernaculas: In 2013 biologists from DuBois constructed and oversaw the construction of 28 snake hibernaculas throughout the Ocean County. |
