What Our Clients Say

JEO Consulting Group has demonstrated excellent understanding of FEMA and USACE regulation and requirements, and the ability to communicate and negotiate with these agencies in accomplishing the goal of levee re-accreditation.
Ken Berney
Assistance General Manager, Lower Elkhorn Natural Resource District

This plan was reviewed by our 319 and wetlands team and, quite frankly, was a delight to read. The plan was complete and made a compelling case for the actions suggested. It is – without a doubt – the best watershed plan I’ve read in my time as your coordinator.
