Environmental
Our founder and President has been a strong supporter of sustainable growth; being good stewards of our environment is one of our foundational imperatives. At BCPeabody, we believe behaving responsibly, using our talents creatively and emphasizing environmentally sound construction practices is crucial to accomplishing our mission to maximize profits for our clients. We understand the impact that our company has upon our planet and are determined to leave it better for future generations. BCPeabody provides complete environmental services from field work to permit issuance. We have worked for some of the State’s largest developers and builders as well as government entities. By providing unmatched expertise in land development and Federal permitting we will help you develop a project that meets your vision and the needs of the environment. BCPeabody does it right the first time; crafting a winning solution at the beginning of the process, not after years of trial and error. We help you avoid repeated requests for additional information by providing complete permit applications. We will work closely with you and/or your consultants, as well regulators to ensure that your permit application is thorough, accurate, and answers the questions that we know will be asked - before they are asked. BCPeabody is a firm of world-class problem solvers; we know the science, policies, the law, and the people required to achieve results. We measure success the same way our clients do; not by effort expended, or hours worked, but by the successful and timely approval of our client’s permit. With BCPeabody’s involvement, success comes sooner, with more certainty and with far fewer hassles.
Environmental Compliance
After years of experience working in the Federal System, BCPeabody was founded to help firms struggling to navigate the Federal Systems. Established in 2006 as a three person company offering specialized advice and assistance, our successes and plain old fashioned hard work have allowed us to strategically grow and expand our services and expertise. BCPeabody now provides complete environmental services from field work to permit issuance. We have worked for some of the State's largest developers and builders as well as government entities.
If you already have a permit and the Agencies are doing “enforcement action” against you and you just want to be certain they don’t have the opportunity, give us a call we can help.
Based in Florida where the entire economy hinges on weather and the environment, having a vision for future growth is essential. BCPeabody has taken a leadership approach to that growth through sustainable construction practices. We did not stop there however. The Governor of Florida selected our President and CEO, Bob Carpenter, to serve on the Century Commission for a Sustainable Florida. Bob was one of only twelve businessmen in the entire State appointed to sit on the Commission! The Century Commission, working with cabinet officials, was tasked with laying out a strategic plan for the next 50 years for Florida and provided several reports to the Legislature. These reports helped guide the Legislature to a better understanding of the second and third order effect of current legislative actions on Florida. Mr. Carpenter was a vocal champion of sustainable growth and environmental balance on the commission.
BCPeabody understands that environmental sustainability is always a consideration in construction. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) has become the green standard in building design and construction. Mr. Carpenter is a certified LEED Accredited Professional. He has the experience of managing, designing and building LEED certified projects. We take this program seriously and are constantly looking for ways to improve our world with sustainable building practices.
Governmental Compliance
BCPeabody has the knowledge to gain the permits and entitlements you need. Dealing with the Government entitlement process can be one of the most exasperating experiences of a lifetime, the process has never been known for speed. BCPeabody can help ease your frustration. Here is why; at one point in his military career, our CEO Bob Carpenter was the instructor for environmental regulatory training for all new District Commanders in the Corps of Engineers. In his final assignment he oversaw and ruled on more permit actions than anyone in the country. We know the system – inside and out - many of us have been the decision makers and leaders in the field. With BCPeabody, we can give you the solution at the beginning of the process, not after years of trial and error like other consultants. Our involvement provides value added in doing things right the first time, with a watchful eye on schedule and budget, BCPeabody can bring your successful future into reality.
Mr. Carpenter complemented this knowledge with other regulatory experts from the Corps of Engineers and Florida Department of Environmental Protection to provide unparalleled services. Our clients have found there is a major advantage to having a BCPeabody team member on their side. Our knowledge of the internal regulatory rules and regulations often makes the difference between issuance and denial. Let me tell you about one of our successes. I imagine you were expecting a story in Florida but no, this victory occurred north of the Mason Dixon line. Our expertise is not limited to Florida. The Borough of Carteret, NJ utilized our services as they wanted to construct a public marina with direct access through a shipping channel to the Atlantic Ocean. The New York District denied the permit and the Borough called us. We immediately sprang to action and appealed the decision. The Regional Commander agreed with our appeal and told the District to rework the permit application. Working closely with District personnel, BCPeabody was able to successfully address the numerous agency and public concerns with the project. The District ultimately reversed their original position and made a favorable decision as well as reducing the mitigation cost significantly in the process. The Borough is going to get their new marina! Our firm knows the science, policies, and the law. We can help you develop a project that meets your vision along with the needs of the environment correctly the first time. Your project will get entitled sooner, with fewer hassles; we have the experience to make it happen! We can do it for you too - give us a call and let’s talk.
