Wetlands Mitigation and Restoration

Besides delineating and mapping wetlands areas, GGI prepares mitigation and restoration plans and submits them to designated regulatory agencies for approval. Up on approval of these plans, GGI staff implements these plans and monitor vegetation, soils and hydrology as specified in the mitigation, restoration plans.

Mitigation site classification and delineation is based on results of vegetation, hydrology/topology, soils, wildlife, habitat/use, threatened/endangered species, and historical current land use investigations.

Classification and delineation are used to quantify mitigation site baseline conditions against which the success of the proposed mitigation plan will be assessed during the course of monitoring. In some cases the results of classification and delineation will be used to fine tune the proposed mitigation plans.
