Environmental Impact Assessment is a complex multi-disciplinary task involving both legal and scientific issues. Unless potential adverse impacts are known prior to the implementation of a major development, neither the government nor the people affected by a development will be able to plan for or anticipate adverse consequences.

Comprehensive environmental assessments may stop a harmful project or minimize adverse environmental impacts from mining, transportation, water impoundments, or land use. Potential environmental, social, cultural, and economic consequences of a project must be carefully evaluated by a multidisciplinary team of technical experts to assess intricate scientific, socioeconomic, and cultural issues. Reynolds & Associates is experienced in forming and working with technical and legal teams to address these issues.
