Experience

Unlike other editing firms, our experience writing and editing National Environmental Policy Act and
California Environmental Quality Act documents makes us uniquely qualified to document and manage
environmental reports. Our specific expertise includes writing, editing, and managing environmental impact
statements, initial studies, hydropower license applications, and biological and environmental assessments.

After we verify the content and accuracy of your document, you can count on PSC to add the finishing
touches. We apply styles and heading levels, format tables and figures, create a table of contents, add a
cover page, and produce an overall pleasing appearance. We have extensive experience creating and
formatting documents in all versions of Microsoft Office and Adobe InDesign.
