# Stantec Stantec Consulting Services Inc. is the environmental consulting firm that prepared the federal Clean Water Act permitting for the [[AVAIO Digital Partners|AVAIO]] "Project Leo" data center. ## People - Chad Mendell and Leo Tran — Stantec staff copied on AVAIO and county correspondence in 2024. ## Roles in this corpus - **Federal environmental permitting.** Stantec prepared, for AVAIO Digital Partners, the Pre-Construction Notification supplemental information submitted to the [[U.S. Army Corps of Engineers]] for the project's three stream crossings — a [[Nationwide Permit|Clean Water Act Section 404]] filing, USACE file SWL-2025-00064, dated 2025-12-05. The filing includes the wetland and waterbody delineation, the threatened-and-endangered-species assessment, and the archeological survey ([[Project Leo Engineering and Environmental Permits]]). ## Notes Stantec's permit application twice misstates the project location as "Pulaski County, Kentucky"; the parcel numbers and coordinates in the same document place the project in Pulaski County, Arkansas.
