Business Profile
Who We Are
Since 1992, WFCC and its parent company, Wetland Development Corporation, have been at the forefront nationally of providing services relating to land designated as wetlands, floodplains, and other ecological habitats. With a reputation for on-time and high quality service, advice, and project management, WFCC delivers profitable results for every imaginable industry and agency addressing a wetland or floodplain issue. In fact, we view every wetland, floodplain and ecological habitat designation not as a burden but rather as a technical challenge to be addressed and/or as a for-profit "eco-development" opportunity.
Over the last two decades, we have developed a team of the most qualified professionals in all fifty states to address your specialized needs as they relate to all components of wetland and floodplain regulation, litigation, valuation, development, land use, preservation and revisions and amendments.
We Are One-of-a-Kind
What makes WFCC unique is the following:
- First, we are not your typical large, high-overhead consulting or engineering firm. Rather, we work with our partners, strategically placed around the country, to provide quality, knowledgeable and locally-based services so as to gain proven results at a reasonable cost.
- Second, we are the most multi-faceted team you will find in our fields of expertise. No other company can offer an integrated team of attorneys, hydrologists, soils scientists, engineers, anthropologists, surveyors, ornithologists, appraisers and regulatory experts, all of whom have worked together for twenty years in the wetland and floodplain arenas.
- Third, we are creative in our thinking, project approaches, billing options and for-profit opportunities. We often turn a regulatory challenge into a money- making venture. We regularly change flood-prone map designations into buildable elevations and wetland designated land into developable parcels.
Significantly, we take environmentally sensitive lands and create profitable "eco-developments" at no out-of-pocket cost to our clients or partners. And we do all of this utilizing creative value-added fee structures including project partnering, success and contingent fees along with a combination of traditional and creative project and service financing. Of course, for our law firm and fellow consultant clients, we can and do bill on a traditional hourly basis where this best meets your or your client's needs.
