Designing Compensatory Mitigation and Restoration Projects
(Formerly called "Developing Wetland Mitigation and Monitoring Plans.")
This two-day class is geared towards those who design and implement compensatory mitigation and restoration projects and/or those who review and condition mitigation plans who want more technical information.
This class focuses on factors to consider when designing projects and protocols to help ensure their success. Topic include:
- Factors to consider for site selection
- How to develop realistic site-specific goals and objectives and measurable performance standards
- Water (sources and potential hydroperiods - what to look for and evaluate)
- Soils (salvaging, amendments, compaction)
- Vegetation (source of plant matieral, salvaging, planting specifications, improving survival, establishing appropriate vegetation communities)
- Invasive species (techniques for control and maintenance)
- Habitat (design considerations)
- Plan specifications (mulches, irrigation, plant materials, habitat features)
- Construction and installation considerations
- Contingencies, maintenance, and monitoring
Class participants should already have a general understanding of wetland ecology.
Note: The information provided in this class is generally consistent with the 2006 interagency document, “Wetland Mitigation in Washington State,” Parts 1 and 2. However, it does not address the agencies’ specific policies and requirements for mitigation. The interagency mitigation guidance document can be found at http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/sea/wetlands/mitigation/guidance.
Lunch is provided.
