Planning firms are often tasked with coordinating complex technical disciplines under tight schedules and heightened public scrutiny. BAC routinely supports planning teams by preparing clear, defensible noise and vibration analyses for projects subject to CEQA and NEPA review.
Our services commonly include preparation of noise and vibration sections for Initial Studies and Mitigated Negative Declarations (IS/MNDs), Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs), and Environmental Impact Statements (EISs). We provide environmental noise impact assessments, transportation and stationary source analyses, construction noise and vibration evaluation, and development of feasible mitigation measures tailored to the project and applicable jurisdiction standards.
BAC works closely with planning firms to identify appropriate significance criteria, fully evaluate potential impacts, and document findings in a manner that is technically sound and legally defensible. We understand the level of scrutiny environmental documents may receive from agencies, the public, and in some cases, legal review. We serve as a reliable technical partner throughout the environmental review process, from checklist support and technical documentation through public meetings and hearings.
