Environmental Services

The Wilson Environmental Department is staffed with biologists, geologists, archaeologists, and geographic information system (GIS) specialists experienced in all aspects of environmental planning, permitting, compliance, and on-time project delivery. For more than 20 years, our team has supported the electric utility industry by providing environmental studies and delineations, siting and impact assessments, land-use planning support, and comprehensive regulatory compliance services.

Our professionals work closely with clients and agencies to provide regulatory application support, compliance monitoring, and environmental documentation throughout all phases of project development and construction. We also facilitate meaningful community, Tribal, and stakeholder engagement, helping ensure projects are developed responsibly while respecting cultural resources, environmental constraints, and local priorities.

The Wilson Environmental team has extensive experience working with the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tribal Nations, and numerous state and local agencies across the country. Our staff holds regional and national stormwater certifications and prepares Erosion and Sediment Control Plans in compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), while also performing environmental inspections and compliance monitoring during construction.

Supported by Wilson’s executive leadership and fully integrated with operations, the Environmental Department provides strong project management and interdisciplinary coordination, ensuring environmental requirements are addressed efficiently while maintaining schedule and project objectives. Our team takes pride in the collaborative relationships built with crews, subcontractors, agencies, and communities, contributing to successful project outcomes nationwide.
