Red Stone Farm Wetland Mitigation Bank

Pike County, OH

The Center for Applied Ecology prepared a wetland bank development and restoration plan for the Red Stone Farm in Pike County, Ohio.  Encompassing 480 acres, the bank will be used for compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to waters of the United States. Wetland restoration activities include:

• Enhancement and preservation of existing forested and emergent wetlands

• Restoration of forested and scrub-shrub/emergent wetlands

• Restoration of forested wetlands on hydric soils and soils with hydric inclusions

• Preservation of nearly 100 acres of upland headwater buffers

With U.S. Army Corps of Engineer’s approval, the first phase of construction is expected to begin in fall 2006. The Center for Applied Ecology will be responsible for restoration implementation, monitoring, and reporting. The Center will also be marketing the wetland credits to potential buyers.
