Padre’s Bakersfield office offers both environmental sciences and geoenvironmental services with experienced staff knowledgeable in biological, geological and environmental permitting services. The Bakersfield field office is staffed with biologists, permitting experts, and senior project managers with many years of experience in the San Joaquin Valley, Southern Sierra Nevada, Tehachapi Mountains and eastern Kern County. With this regional focus, the Bakersfield office provides site specific services designed to meet the unique demands of the region’s energy (both petroleum and alternative) and agricultural industries particularly for challenging linear projects such as pipelines and electrical transmission lines. The Bakersfield staff also has experience with specialized projects including pipeline construction, oil spills, leaks, and mining reclamation. In addition, the staff is certified to prepare and implement Dust Control Plans under the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s Regulation VIII.

Our staff can help with permitting and consultation with multiple agencies including: US Forest Service, EPA, US Coast Guard, Bureau of Land Management, US Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish and Wildlife, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR), and Regional Water Quality Control Board, to name a few.
