Mitigation Plan Design
Following approval
of the Mitigation site location, ASGECI will prepare the design of the Wetland Mitigation Plan. Staff performs the wetland delineation and
hydrologic monitoring of the mitigation site in order to develop appropriate elevations for achieving wetland hydrology. ASGECI collects data on benchmark elevations
of adjacent wetlands and existing soil characteristics are documented.
The Wetland Mitigation Plan includes site plans, a report describing the existing site, a hydrologic budget to determine how wetland hydrology will be achieved,
topsoil and fertilizer specifications, a planting plan, invasive species control measures, herbivore control measures, and monitoring requirements.
ASGECI submits the plan to the appropriate state or federal agency and incorporates any comments into the final plan.
ASGECI has designed mitigation plans approved by state agencies and the US Army Corps of Engineers; including plans for the creation, enhancement and restoration
of freshwater and tidal wetlands, creation of intertidal and subtidal shallows, and restoration of stream channels and riparian zones. Our familiarity with native
and non-native plant materials, as a result of our extensive field experience, enables us to successfully design planting plans and to recognize potential problems,
such as may be posed by invasive species and wildlife herbivory.
