MB&G’s Environmental Services Group was recently notified that all staff members were certified by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to prepare and review Federal Highway Administrative Programmatic documentation providing Environmental Species Act (ESA) coverage for many federally-funded transportation projects in Oregon. This certification is required for all ODOT and consultant staff who prepare and/or oversee projects that effect federally threatened and endangered ESA species. This certification broadens ESG’s ability to support ODOT and other clients with transportation project delivery. We’re looking forward to continuing to do more great work with ODOT.
