Stoney Ridge Environmental

What Stoney Ridge Environmental does

Stoney Ridge Environmental, LLC (SRE) is a privately held, owner-operated environmental consulting firm headquartered at 8 Kiana Road in Alton, New Hampshire, serving clients throughout New Hampshire and Maine. The firm provides a unified portfolio of environmental permitting and natural resource services: wetland delineation, permitting, function and value assessments, mitigation design, restoration and monitoring; soil science services including site-specific and high-intensity soil mapping for lot sizing and NHDES Alteration of Terrain permitting; shoreland and shoreline permitting under the Shoreland Water Quality Act; wildlife habitat and vernal pool assessments; sediment and erosion control monitoring; natural resource documentation and GIS; and land use planning support. Service delivery is project-based, billed on scope and complexity, with no publicly disclosed pricing.

The firm's technical differentiation rests on certified scientific expertise rather than proprietary software. Principal Cynthia M. Balcius holds Certified Wetland Scientist, Certified Soil Scientist, and CPESC credentials, with 22+ years of field experience and co-authorship of NH Site Specific Soil Mapping Standards. SRE holds established working relationships with US Army Corps of Engineers, EPA, US Fish & Wildlife, NHDES, and state-level rule-making bodies. Customer segments span homeowners and landowners, residential and commercial developers, engineering firms, municipalities (Town of Alton, Town of Waterville, City of Dover), and industrial clients (NH Motor Speedway, Maine Drilling & Blasting), with the NH Department of Transportation as a statewide anchor client.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led and referral-driven: SRE acquires work through professional network referrals from surveyors, engineers, and architects, plus regulatory agency relationships, rather than digital marketing or outbound sales. Revenue is generated through professional services fees tied to project scope, with no disclosed subscription, recurring, or platform-based revenue streams. The firm is privately held with no external funding rounds, parent entity, or institutional investors documented.
