Do I need to hire a consultant to obtain a Child Care Facility Approval (CCFA) letter, or conduct an environmental review?
Environmental consultants conduct environmental reviews often and should be very familiar with the process. While hiring a professional is not required, most will find it more efficient and timely to use a consultant. When a Preliminary Assessment (PA) submitted to DEP does not meet the requirements, it will be returned to the sender as deficient. Again, an environmental consultant may save time in submitting an acceptable PA.
