Mitigation Site
Brooks Swamp
RestorEcology permitted a natural habitat restoration project on two tributaries to Brooks Swamp in Wayne County, NC. Over 11 acres of agricultural field were planted with native hardwood trees to improve water quality in project streams. Planting took place in early 2024, and the site will be monitored for success through 2029.
Nitrogen (lb) and Neuse riparian buffer credits became available for sale to offset stormwater and buffer development impacts starting in Q2 2024. The project service area was the Neuse River Basin HUC# 03020201, excluding the Falls Lake Watershed.
