Natural Resources and Environment

Regulatory and managerial challenges relating to natural resources and environmental issues are as complex and ever-changing as the environment itself. Frequent disputes arise involving multiple stakeholders, difficult technical questions, and highly charged politics.

Since its inception, CBI has specialized in natural resource and environmental issues, providing expertise in environmental planning, including water management. Our ability to blend facilitation and mediation skills with technical understanding particularly enables us to manage multi-stakeholder negotiations in the public arena. Our competencies include:


Public Land
We work with the National Park Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Department of the Interior, among other agencies and organizations, to address the difficulties of managing public lands across the United States. Internationally, we work with foundations, governments, and stakeholders to address public land access, inholdings, and other issues.

 

Air
We have extensive experience in management of air pollution, created from multiple sources, moving across political and geographic boundaries, and posing unique regulatory challenges. Currently, CBI helps stakeholder groups from around the United States voluntarily reduce air pollution.


Water
We bring significant experience in water quality and quantity, water infrastructure, and contaminated water cleanup. We work with numerous parties to reach lasting agreements on political, technical, environmental, and community aspects of projects and policies ranging from the recovery of biosolids from wastewater treatment facilities to the surface and groundwater cleanup of two of the Northeast’s largest Superfund sites.
