JNA Consulting provides expert support across all phases of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission hydroelectric licensing, relicensing, decommissioning, and license compliance processes. These complex, multidisciplinary efforts require careful integration of environmental, engineering, and economic considerations, as well as coordination with numerous regulatory agencies and stakeholder groups. With experience on more than 15 projects, our team excels at identifying and resolving key project issues in collaboration with federal and state resource agencies, local governments, non-governmental organizations, and public stakeholders.
We specialize in designing and implementing environmental study programs that align with agency requirements. Our services include managing stakeholder engagement, coordinating multi-agency interactions, and developing study plans and technical analyses for a broad range of biological resources—including vegetation communities, riparian habitats, invasive species, and special-status plants and wildlife such as amphibians, reptiles, raptors, and game species. JNA Consulting also provides support for license surrender and decommissioning applications, as well as post-licensing compliance through development of resource management plans, Endangered Species Act consultations, and long-term monitoring programs.
