For California-based projects, conduct California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) analyses by reviewing client-provided emissions data for completeness, creating templates for calculating local emissions, conducting quality assurance and quality control on the calculations, and using the emissions calculations to create tables for Environmental Impact Reports.
