State/Province & National
Navigating and Advancing Environmental Standards
EOR has worked with dozens of states, provinces, nations, and the Canadian and U.S. Federal Governments. We are frequently called on to develop policy, guidance, and management plans to preserve and protect natural resources, often in complex, overlapping jurisdictions. Our work is as varied as these governments: we have restored streams for tribal nations, worked with the State of Minnesota on the controversial permits, wrote LID guidance for the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, and authored Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) plans for the U.S. EPA.
