Environmental Assessment

Davey can help assess your community's current environmental condition through a weighted aggregation analysis useful for planning, zoning, and development.

We obtain, process, and combine all available GIS data from County, State, and Federal levels. When additional data are needed, we can create them via field inventories or air photo interpretation in the office.

A typical analysis involves:

Soils (Hydric & Non-hydric)
Slopes (0-12, 12-18, 18+)
Floodplains (FEMA)
Impervious Areas (USGS or field/ office inventory)
Canopy Cover (USGS or field/ office inventory)
Wetlands (NWI or field/office inventory)
Hydrology (Riparian Buffers)
Watersheds (EPA or software modeling)

Additional layers can be added into the analysis:

Road Interchange/ Intersection Zones
NPDES & EPA Toxic Release Sites
Underground Storage Tanks
Airport Buffers
Business Development Areas
Parks
Groundwater Recharge Areas
