Services were provided to secure environmental permits and project approval for Schermerhorn Hollow Village, a 35 - 40 million dollar project located on approximately 41 acres in the Town of Rotterdam, New York. The site is located in an area that contained a significant stream channel and extensive state and federal regulated wetlands. The scope of work included the preparation of Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statements, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and NYS Department of Environmental Conservation wetland and stream disturbance permits, visual analysis and noise impact analysis.

Work also included preparation of large-scale wetland creation and enhancement mitigation plans and stream channel re-alignment and construction plans that received Federal and State approval.

The project was completed by Michael Hale, RLA, now Director of Environmental Planning at Synthesis, while employed at his previous firm.
