As part of the complex environmental permitting process, Epsilon prepared an Article VII Application for the electric transmission lines, an Article X Application for the cogeneration facility and numerous other, local state, and federal permits.

Included with the federal permits was a very complex Army Corps of Engineers Section 404 Clean Water Act permit application.  As part of the Section 404 review process, Epsilon successfully proposed an innovative offsite mitigation approach that included a partnership with the Natural Resource Conservation Service and the Rensselaer County Soil and Water Conservation District to restore over 5 acres of degraded wetland on private farmland.
