SCI Engineering, Inc. provided natural resource consulting services on an approximate 200-mile pipeline corridor across Illinois. Our services have included wetland and waterbody delineations, along with associated documentation, navigation, and feature mapping. A Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to document potential habitat for threatened and endangered species. SCI reported to and coordinated with various regulatory agencies, including three U.S. Army Corps of Engineers districts and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Our services were part of a multi-team delineation along over 1,600 miles of proposed pipeline that will cross eight states, including Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.

SCI coordinated daily field activities and property access issues with various right-of-way agents. GPS data accurate to less than 1 meter was manipulated in-house into a usable format and provided to our client. SCI completed an Environmental Survey Report for the project and also provided the completion of Jurisdictional Determination (JD) forms for all wetland and waterbody features that were identified within the project workspace. JD forms were completed for three U.S. Army Corps of Engineers districts within the state of Illinois - St. Louis, Rock Island, and Louisville.
