VESTRA Resources, Inc. - Permitting & Regulatory Compliance

Permitting Services

Client advocacy and compliance assistance

Not only can permit acquisition be a time-consuming and frustrating process, missed steps can
significantly delay project completion. Increasingly, projects based in California must comply with at
times conflicting and overlapping regulations.

VESTRA acts as an advocate for our clients throughout the permitting process. We can manage
approval schedules and submittals to save both time and money and act as a liaison with the
appropriate regulatory agency. Our expertise is based on extensive experience: we perform permitting
services on a daily basis.

With more than 25 years of professional interaction, VESTRA has developed a working relationship
with the regulatory community based on our reputation for quality analysis and documentation. We
often are able to leverage our reputation with the regulatory agencies to the benefit of our clients.
