Need it approved? That’s the whole job.
NPDES, erosion and sediment control, land development, sewage, highway occupancy — whatever a project has to clear in Pennsylvania. We work out which approvals apply before you commit capital, prepare the submission, and carry it through review until the approval is in hand.

01 — Start here
What needs approving?
Pick whichever is closest to your project. If none of them quite fit, call anyway — it's usually still something we do.
Farm buildings
Manure storages, freestall and heifer barns, poultry houses, bunker silos, commodity sheds and shops. Siting, grading, stormwater and the permit package — carried through every agency review until it is approved.
How a farm building project runs →
Agricultural compliance
Act 38 nutrient management, manure and odor management plans, agricultural E&S and CAFO permitting — written, submitted and kept current as the operation changes.
Which plan do I need? →
Small commercial & residential
Contractor shops, storage buildings, offices, fire halls, single lots and subdivisions — including farm buildings being converted to commercial use, where the change of use brings a new set of requirements.

On-lot septic permitting, driveway (highway occupancy) permits, and complete submission packages for municipal, county conservation district and PA DEP reviews — tracked from intake to approval.

04 — About
Built around getting approvals.
Dedicated teams for agricultural and commercial work — so the people handling your approvals do this particular kind of job all the time, and know what each reviewer will ask for.
Nye Consulting Services, Inc. is based in Reinholds, Pennsylvania, and serves clients in more than 30 counties across the Commonwealth. Permitting, stormwater design and compliance planning are handled in-house rather than split between firms.
Whether you are a business owner putting up a shop, a farmer bringing an operation into compliance, a landowner planning a single improvement, or a developer managing a full subdivision, we scale our involvement to fit the project.
We also spend time on the regulations themselves — reading draft permits, submitting public comment and tracking what changes before it reaches your project. When a program shifts, our clients hear it from us rather than from a review letter.
05 — Process
From first call to final approval.
01
Consultation
We review your site, goals and constraints, and identify the approvals your project will need.
02
Design & Analysis
Site, grading and stormwater design, and the erosion control that goes with it.
03
Submission
Complete, compiled permit packages submitted to the right agencies the first time.
04
Approval & Support
Review-comment responses and construction-phase questions handled through project close-out.
08 — Guides
