Case Study: New Jersey Department of Transportation achieves environmental permitting and mitigation success with Davey Resource Group

New Jersey Department of Transportation completes 2.8-mile Route 52 causeway replacement with Davey

The New Jersey Department of Transportation required extensive environmental permitting and impact mitigation for its Route 52 Causeway replacement project spanning sensitive coastal habitats. They engaged Davey Resource Group (DRG), a division of Davey, to provide comprehensive environmental surveys, assessments, and permitting services to move the complex reconstruction forward while protecting natural resources.

Davey Resource Group delivered the full environmental permitting package, including state and federal applications, and performed critical ecological studies that led to design modifications to protect threatened bird species rookeries. Their solution included extensive construction oversight, tidal wetland mitigation, and over 1.5 acres of habitat enhancement at Malibu Beach. DRG ensured project compliance through five years of post-construction monitoring, resulting in a successfully completed causeway that met all environmental standards.
