Ecosystem Renewal Capabilities

Ecosystem Renewal provides biological, hydrological and engineering expertise to recreate historic conditions throughout properties to enhance biological and wildlife communities. Historical uses of properties may include clear-cutting of forests, construction of roads and bridges, and the installation of drainage ditches and culverts, all of which can alter site hydrology, reduce flood storage capacity and/or degrade water quality. Ecosystem Renewal can perform a complete hydrologic analysis of the site and design improvements to restore natural systems.

Below is a brief list of our mitigation capabilities

• Initial field observations to document existing site conditions and research to establish historic hydrologic patterns.
• Evaluation of existing site conditions to evaluate impacts of current site alterations and design of hydrologic enhancements to restore historic site conditions.
• Utilization of computer models to predict run-off conditions and model historic and existing flow conditions.
• Conceptual hydrologic plan development for the project.
• Submittal of Prospectus and Mitigation Bank Instrument Application along with responses to Request for Additional Information to federal, state and local agencies, as applicable, for review and approval.
• Development of cost estimates and construction schedules.
• Design of on-site wetland restoration, enhancement, and creation areas.
• Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping
