After seven (7) early years in the consulting business Mr. Bryon DuBois created an environmental consulting firm in 2000 that focused on ecological and environmental issues that the regulated community was facing. Mr. DuBois has applied logical and objective solutions to some of the most difficult environmental projects and has constantly found a balance between environmentalists and developers alike. Mr. DuBois currently operates the firm and ensures successful completion of projects through management and coordination of numerous like-minded employees. Mr. DuBois operates the firm to promote the client's interest while providing the regulatory agencies with the documentation they require for approvals. The end result is typically a project or product that is both environmentally sound and in the best interest of the client.
Mr. DuBois has been requested to present topics related to environmental regulations at the Atlantic City Builders Convention, the Eastern Regional Airports Conference in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Bog Turtle Conventions, the N.J. Pinelands Commission, the Louisiana Fish and Game and dozens of planning boards in towns across N.J. and P.A. His diverse experience has made him a respectable candidate to speak publicly on projects that require many different issues from ecology to water quality.
Mr. DuBois is responsible for performing wetland delineations under the jurisdiction of multiple agencies and has more than 30 years of experience performing wetland delineations on more than 5000 projects over three states. Mr. DuBois authors Freshwater Wetland Delineation Reports and has prepared more than 3,000 Freshwater Wetland Letter of Interpretation applications for submittal to the NJDEP for verification of the delineated wetland limits.
In 1998 Mr. DuBois began designing and managing the construction of wetland mitigation projects tailored to a specific habitat type or land use. Over the years his projects were approved and exceeded the standard requirements without increasing costs for the client. These mitigation projects helped Mr. DuBois become nominated to the State of New Jersey’s Wetland Mitigation Council in 2003 by the Governor of New Jersey. Mr. DuBois has reviewed and received approval for numerous mitigation related projects and banks in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland since that time.
Ecologically, from 2003 to the present-day Mr. DuBois has successfully managed, designed and received approval for projects ranging from airports to industrial centers, wastewater management facilities and large commercial areas along with thousands of residential dwellings. This has involved performing numerous long-term studies on several influential species such as Bog Turtles, Pine Snakes, and Indiana Bats along with assessments of habitat and creation of mitigation measures. Mr. DuBois has held over 400 scientific collecting permits for surveys performed within the Mid-Atlantic States, many of which involve a telemetry component.
Mr. DuBois also has extensive experience coordinating with various utility companies to provide wetland, ecological surveys and monitoring services necessary to support utility line improvement and upgrade projects, which also involves regulatory agency coordination
