Kingfisher Solar Farm

Birkitt Environmental Services, Inc. (Birkitt) provided environmental services to Sun Edison for the Kingfisher Solar Farm project in Polk County, FL.  This project included a wetland jurisdictional delineation along with a state and federal listed species survey and preparation of a due diligence environmental report. A Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method (UMAM) analysis was also conducted to determine functional loss for agency required wetland mitigation.  Birkitt led permitting efforts through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This included pre-application meetings, the verification of on-site wetland extents with these agencies, and the identification of appropriate wetland mitigation. Permits were obtained and construction completed.
