Streams & Wetlands Mitigation Solutions

Our water resources provide critical food supplies and habitats for our ecosystems. Davey Mitigation specializes in restoring these vital natural resources, ensuring their longevity.

Davey Mitigation’s process involves locating and securing potential stream and wetland restoration sites, permitting and design, construction oversight, and post-construction monitoring and maintenance. We are familiar with numerous programs and regulations at the state and federal levels to guarantee timely and cost-effective solutions.

We offer mitigation banks, permittee-responsible mitigation solutions, and turnkey, full-delivery projects for in-lieu fee programs and private equity investors. Davey Mitigation has in-house capabilities that span every facet of project delivery and a robust network of third-party consultants that can help with almost any restoration challenge in any state.

The Importance Of Wetland Restoration For Ecosystem Health

Wetlands play an essential function in ecosystem health. They soak up and store significant amounts of floodwater, serve as breeding grounds and food sources for aquatic animals, amphibians, birds, and mammals and protect drinking water sources. They also offer recreational and economic benefits to the public.

Wetland restoration helps to ensure these vital water resources will continue to provide food, habitats, ecological, recreational, and economic benefits to the best of their ability for as long as possible.

Buy Streams & Wetlands Mitigation Credits

Mitigation banking credits can help land developers comply with state and federal environmental regulations by allowing a developer to compensate for unavoidable wetland impacts on their development property through the purchase of mitigation credits from a wetlands bank within the same watershed as the project, thereby offsetting impacts to streams, wetlands, and other water resources. While purchasing mitigation banking credits seems straightforward, land developers may need specific credits for water resource impacts, complicating the process.

Davey Mitigation leverages our network of mitigation bank partnerships to find the right solution for our clients. Our experts have the experience to help developers purchase their credits at the best cost and successfully navigate the permitting process.

In-Lieu Fee Mitigation For Streams & Wetlands

An in-lieu fee program uses third-party, public agencies or non-profit organizations to create wetland mitigation banks, which produces credits that a developer can purchase to compensate for impacts to streams and wetlands on their development property. Under an in-lieu fee program, the third party collects funds from permittees to create mitigation bank sites that can compensate for aquatic resources lost due to development.

Davey Mitigation’s team of professionals is your one-stop shop for in-leu fee mitigation programs. Our experts can help obtain correct permits, design mitigation sites, oversee construction, and conduct post-construction monitoring and maintenance.

Permittee-Responsible Mitigation For Streams & Wetlands

In the event that a watershed does not have mitigation credits from an approved mitigation bank, an alternative option for satisfying the compensatory mitigation requirement for developers is providing permittee-responsible mitigation (PRM). The process is similar to establishing a mitigation bank with the main difference being that the PRM site provides the compensatory mitigation solution for one project (vs a mitigation bank that can service numerous projects throughout the watershed).

Davey Mitigation’s team has extensive experience providing turn-key, full-delivery PRM sites that include site location through regulatory approval, construction oversight, monitoring and maintenance.

Alliance Headwaters: Last summer, I was approached by a gentleman named Raymond Holz, informing me that the company he worked for would be doing a good bit of work around my property to restore the streams and wetlands that were long ago ditch, drained, and straightened for row crop production. At first, I was hesitant and had so many questions, not knowing what was going to be involved with the process, but Raymond and his team at RS were absolutely wonderful. They went above and beyond with their communication during the entire process. They were accommodating and an honest joy to work with. Raymond always answered any questions or concerns I had in a timely manner, and he was very kind and professional. I would also like to add that after they completed their work, my property has stopped flooding altogether. They have completely restored the surrounding area back to a well balanced habitat.
