    Where appropriate, we review relevant data and background materials to understand what is known and what still needs to be clarified.

  3. We discuss your project as a team.

    DEP’s team reviews your project together, drawing on additional specialist expertise where needed. We consider the evidence, discuss options, and recommend next steps.
