We teach the upper division Environmental Impact Assessment courses at HSU
for both the Environmental Management & Protection department as well as
the Environmental Engineering department. Our experience preparing CEQA

opportunities for the classes. We have trained more than 500 students in the
correct way to process environmental documents and we hope these students
will become some of our future regulators.

CYPRESS GROVE CHEVRE EXPANSION
Our team prepared application materials and facilitated Planning Commission,
City Council, and Historic & Design Review Commission approval for a 24,387 sq ft
expansion of the Cypress Grove creamery. The expansion received significant
opposition and Streamline played a critical role in addressing citizen concerns
and securing project approvals through innovative solutions. Construction
completed in 2014.
In 2002 our team prepared permit and environmental documents and obtained
Planning Commission approval for the construction of the original 13,000 sq ft
goat cheese manufacturing facility.
Streamline also assisted in stormwater management permitting for Cypress
Grove’s Goat Dairy facility located in Mckinleyville, CA.

Arcata, Eureka, Mt. Shasta, tribal governments, local community service districts,
and the counties of Humboldt, Mendocino, & Del Norte. We have successfully
been involved with many code revisions, general plan updates, strategic plans,
& visioning processes. We succeed in providing innovative and quality planning
services to many areas of government.
We excel in obtaining grant funding for needed municipal projects. Over the
last decade, Streamline has been instrumental in helping to obtain $6M in grant
funding for local and rural municipal clients.
We work with both public agencies and private businesses. As a result, we
provide comprehensive, result-oriented permitting assistance and environmental
services to the government sector supporting small business development.

WATERSHED
Streamline played the lead role in preparation of the Trinidad-Westhaven Coastal
Watershed Management Plan (TWICWMP), a comprehensive planning document
that identifies problems, solutions and partnerships to address water quality in
the region. The planning area included nine watersheds covering approximately
6,358 acres. The analysis of water quality issues identified three main areas
of concern resulting in specific management strategies and prioritized projects.
This watershed planning effort led to the formation of the Trinidad Bay
Watershed Council and the development of a septic system maintenance
program for the City.
Our team has also been involved in the submittal, administration, and
implementation of $5.5M in grant funding for the City of Trinidad to create
and implement the Trinidad Watershed Action Plan with the overall goal of
identifying pollution sources, prioritizing solutions, and implementing priority
projects to improve watershed health for local streams and Trinidad Bay,
classified as an Area of Special Biological Significance (ASBS).

help local businesses navigate the complex web of agencies regulating mining
activities while helping our clients manage their resources in a sustainable and
environmentally sensitive manner. We have been instrumental in obtaining
local (SMARA), State, and Federal permits for more than 30 in-stream mining
