“Denise Duffy & Associates, Inc. (DD&A) has provided
environmental consulting services to the Monterey County Public Works Department
on a number of projects of various types, including road widening, bridge
reconstruction, bicycle trails, and abandoning rights-of-way.
Most recently DD&A was the primary environmental
consultant to the County on the State Highway 1 Climbing Lane, a $5.0 million
project that widened ¾ mile of State highway to provide a second uphill lane
through the community of Carmel. The
project was located in the Coastal Zone, and involved a number of sensitive
environmental issues, including visual aesthetics, loss of valuable habitat and
vegetation including California oak and Monterey pine trees, storm water
pollution prevention, noise abatement, and a vocal community of residents
living immediately adjacent to the project site. DD&A was contracted to prepare the CEQA
Initial Study for the project, to prepare the biological impact assessment and
to oversee the work of specialty sub consultants for forestry impacts, noise
abatement, and construction-related traffic congestion, and to prepare the
proposed impact mitigation program, the CEQA Negative Declaration, and the
Coastal Permit application and mitigation program.
DD&A worked closely with and as a participating part of
a large and complex multi-discipline project team which included the County
Public Works Department, the County Department of Planning & Building
Inspection, Caltrans District 5 engineering and environmental staff, the design
engineering consultant, the construction management consultant, the
construction contractor, and the community.
DD&A Staff also participated in a number of community meetings and
public hearings before the County Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors.
Throughout the process of implementing this project the
caliber of DD&A’s technical work was thorough and complete, and at all
times their staff was knowledgeable and professional, earning the respect of
professional peers, elected officials, and members of the community.”
