Wetland mitigation was required in the same watershed and in the immediate vicinity of a NYSDEC freshwater wetland. Numerous project sites were considered to meet the NYSDEC siting criteria before the client found a mitigation site adjoining an existing NYSDEC freshwater wetland.

TES prepared a complete mitigation and monitoring plan for creation of vernal pool habitat and provided construction oversight during construction. Monitoring was performed over a five-year period to ensure agency approved success criteria were met. Edgewater successfully mitigated for wetland losses.
