WETLAND CREATION

Wetlands have a multitude of functions, all of which provide services of unquantifiable value to humans. Among other things, they control floods, protect coastal zones and contribute to the hydrological characteristics of river systems. Wetlands host a great diversity of species and are of esthetic, cultural and economic importance to local communities. Our work with wetlands has involved the creation of mitigation plots in conjunction with Clean Water Act (Section 404) requirements and waste water cells for industrial effluent and storm water management. Secondary benefits have been to improve flood control, improve water quality, recreation and wildlife habitat.

We have superior expertise identifying hydric soils, wetland hydrology, inundation rates, salinities and selecting the appropriate hydrophytic plant species. We provide project management for contracting excavation machinery and oversees the use of local operators. CSS has well established relationships with nurseries that pack and ship plant stock. CSS will completely satisfy all regulatory requirements and if needed, provide expert witness testimony. Currently, CSS is in discussions with the Chinese government to bring wetland creation to that country.
