Expired Strategies for Wetland, Stream and Species Mitigation

A workshop for Environmental Professionals

The Pennsylvania Association of Environmental Professionals (PAEP) in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection’s Southeast Regional Office are proud to bring you a Professional Development Training Class:

Strategies for Wetland, Stream and Species Mitigation

(Ecological Offset Solutions)

When there are unavoidable impacts to wetlands, streams and endangered species habitats, those projects may be required to mitigate for the impacts to those natural resources. Whether this is a stand alone project on a single site or a linear project involving miles of potential impacts, planning for mitigation is an important task for the Environmental Professional, Resource Manager and Project Owner.

At our 2016 PAEP Annual Conference members of Resource Environmental Solutions (www.res.us) gave a great presentation on wetland and stream mitigation strategies, as well as the use of species/conservation habitat banking. Although Wetland Banking has been in existence for a long time and is the preferred mitigation strategy, banking use in eastern Pennsylvania is very limited. Both PennDOT and RES have successfully been using banking in central and western Pennsylvania for several years. Conor Gillespie and Jonathan Kasitz of RES will explain some of the available strategies that can be used to mitigate for unavoidable project impacts using a watershed approach, including the integration of wetland, stream and species mitigation.

We are sorry but space is limited to 50 people!
