Is there a wetland on my site?
Use the National Wetlands Inventory only as a screening tool — it is not a jurisdictional wetland determination, a survey, or a geotechnical report.
ALFA can flag the constraint during feasibility and coordinate with environmental/USACE specialists if needed.
What does the city require for commercial civil plans?
Each city publishes its own checklist or manual listing the major engineering sheets required for civil plan submittal.
ALFA can prepare the civil site, grading, drainage, utility and supporting engineering package.
Do I need a grading or land-disturbance permit?
Check the official permit criteria — only the published threshold determines whether a grading or land-disturbance permit applies.
