Wetlands-Stream Delineation

Stream Delineation

ClearWater Environmental has conducted wetland and stream delineations including GPS mapping of these features on over 100,000 acres in North Carolina. Our delineation and subsequent verification with the Corps of Engineers are a key part of successful land development planning.

Wetlands-Stream Mitigation

Stream Restoration After

ClearWater Environmental conducts wetlands and Stream Mitigation Planning and Implementation as required to replace the loss of wetland  and stream function and values. Compensatory mitigation is defined as the restoration, creation, enhancement, or in exceptional cases preservation of wetlands and/or other aquatic resources for the purpose of compensating for unavoidable impacts.

The Mitigation Sequence

  1. Avoid – Adverse impacts to aquatic resources are to be avoided and no discharge shall be permitted if there is a practicable alternative with less adverse impact.
  2. Minimize – If impacts cannot be avoided, appropriate and practicable steps to minimize adverse impacts must be taken.
  3. Compensate – Appropriate and practicable compensatory mitigation is required for unavoidable adverse impacts which remain. The amount and quality of compensatory mitigation may not substitute for avoiding and minimizing impacts.
