Episode 80: Beyond the Horizon: Addressing Visual Impacts Before Public Concern Derails Project Permitting
What happens when public opposition to a development project begins before the facts are even presented? Could concerns over how a project looks derail its approval before construction begins? On Episode 80 of Environmental Echo, host Paul K. Boyce, PE, PG, President and CEO of PWGC, welcomes Matthew Allen, RLA, Principal at Saratoga Associates, to explore why visual impacts can become one of the biggest obstacles in the regulatory approval process. From renewable energy developments and telecommunications towers to offshore wind farms and large-scale infrastructure projects, Matt explains how early visual assessments, photo simulations and GIS-based analysis can help developers address community concerns about aesthetic resources and community character, build public trust and strengthen regulatory applications. Discover why waiting for grassroots opposition to emerge can cost developers valuable time and money, and how a proactive approach to visual impact assessment can make the difference between a project moving forward or facing costly delays.

Before You Build: Navigating New York's Changing Wetlands Requirements
New York’s freshwater wetlands regulations changed dramatically in 2025, and then a court threw them out. If you’re planning a project in New York, here’s what you need to know before you build. In Episode 79 of Environmental Echo, host Paul K. Boyce, PE, PG, President and CEO of P.W. Grosser Consulting, sits down with Michael Gaul, Senior Project Manager and certified Professional Wetland Scientist at PWGC, and Alita Guida, Partner at Couch White LLP and Chair of the Environmental Practice Group, to break down one of the most significant shifts in New York environmental law in recent years. They unpack why New York overhauled its wetlands program, how the new jurisdictional process worked, what the court’s decision means going forward, and why wetland due diligence needs to happen early, before a potential constraint becomes a project problem. A wetland does not have to stop a project. But discovering one too late can reshape permitting, design, schedules, and development plans entirely. If you are planning a project in New York, this episode is essential listening.

The Silent Spread of PFAS Through Maintenance Practices – Part 1
Host Paul K. Boyce, PE, PG, President and CEO of P.W. Grosser, speaks with Chris Wenczel, PG, Senior Project Manager, about the long history and quiet spread of forever chemicals, per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), across modern products and infrastructure. In Episode 73 Part 1, they trace how firefighting foams, floor finishes, and cleaning practices helped move PFAS from industrial sites into everyday settings. The discussion highlights early gaps in health research, including the reality that serious study did not begin until roughly 2015, and contrasts the current federal drinking water level of 4 parts per trillion with wastewater concentrations reported as high as 229,000 parts per trillion. As Chris notes, “we do not find out that something is harmful until we are down the road and it is already in the environment,” a pattern that shapes how regulators and communities now respond.
