We collaborated with partners for this renewable energy mitigation project in western New York that involved restoration and protection of a combined 100-acres at two sites. The project was permitted under the NYS Freshwater Wetlands Act Article 24 and the Clean Water Act Section 404. The project included 3-acres of forested wetland establishment reconnection of 530 acres of wetland upstream with 1,230 acres downstream – along with aquatic connectivity restoration – through partial removal of a dike from the West Branch of Conewango Creek, green infrastructure designs to cover and cap an eroding town dump and reduce leaching, protection of 10-acres of hemlock forest, 20-acres of invasive species removal, and preservation of the NYS Significant Natural Hemlock-Hardwood Peat Swamp Community. The project also included nature-based stream restoration along 3,680 linear feet of a tributary to Cassadaga Creek to reduce erosion and sedimentation entering the Creek, protecting the habitat for 15 freshwater mussel species, including federal and state listed species. Our team was responsible for siting, mitigation plan development, agency coordination, permitting, restoration design, implementation oversight, monitoring, and adaptive management. Key partners included Working Lands Investment Partners and EcoStrategies Engineering and Survey.
