Wetland Restoration & Mitigation

Mitigation for wetland impacts is frequently a necessary part of project planning, given today’s rules governing impacts on wetlands and other aquatic resources. EnviroScience wetlands scientists encourage clients to identify strategies to avoid and/or minimize construction impacts on wetlands.

Wetland Planting

When impacts are unavoidable, EnviroScience develops project-specific mitigation plans, which may include mitigation banking, in-lieu fee arrangements, or wetland creation. If wetland creation is the preferred option, our biologists offer turnkey wetland creation services, including analysis of wetland functions and values, site selection, water budget, design, construction, plantings, invasive species control, and submission of required reports to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).

Our design-build approach allows our biologists to be involved in projects from start to finish ensuring that the completed project meets the client’s needs.

Wetland Permit & Water Quality Certification Applications

Projects requiring unavoidable impacts on wetlands require USACE and/or Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval. EnviroScience prepares and submits application packages for clients applying for Section 404 permits, Section 401 Water Quality Certifications, and Isolated Wetland Permits. Our biologists have an excellent reputation with regulatory agencies based on decades of quality work, and this reputation helps obtain approvals in a timely manner.

Wetland Delineation Services

EnviroScience has performed wetland delineations on properties ranging in size from one to 6,000 plus acres—from nearly pristine to severely-disturbed landscapes. Our scientists are fully trained using the current methods of wetlands delineation (according to the 1987 USACE Delineation Manual and current Regional Supplements) and survey techniques using a state-of-the-art Trimble® differential GPS.

GPS data collection allows our biologists to prepare wetland maps without the need and additional cost of traditional survey teams. Wetland maps are prepared using AutoCAD® or ArcGIS® software and are available in digital format to ensure compatibility with construction drawings.

EnviroScience provides a wide range of wetland services to clients in a variety of industries such as oil, gas, and energy corporations, engineering and design firms, development companies, legal firms, and public agencies. Our robust staff of wetland scientists enables us to tackle even the largest projects and most challenging deadlines.
