By building a multi-disciplinary team of experts in wetland mitigation, environmental engineering, land and money management, this highly skilled group allows Resource Environmental Solutions (RES) to provide turn-key or Custom Mitigation Solutions for large projects such as oil & gas pipelines, transportation, civil and industrial projects and large commercial or residential development.

As part of our service, we will coordinate the project with all state and federal agencies, put up financial assurances, conduct restoration work, and provide management, monitoring and reporting of the project to the appropriate state and federal agencies. RES will assume the liability for management and success of the project-specific mitigation. No other entity in the region has harnessed all of these resources, a suite of services, under one roof.

Scope of Services

1. Land Acquisition

2. Project Planning and Design

3. Project Implementation

4. Monitoring and Maintenance

5. Financial Assurances

6. Long-Term Protective Instrument

Land Acquisition

RES’s experienced land acquisition team will identify and acquire land in the appropriate watershed in an expeditious and cost-effective manner. We will take into consideration specific species and habitat needs to meet your project goals.

Project Planning and Design:

RES will deploy resources to obtain baseline conditions, design appropriate restoration, and incorporate these into a project-specific mitigation plan by which the applicant may submit to the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps).

RES, on behalf of the permit applicant, will coordinate the submittal of the project-specific mitigation plan to the Corps and conduct all necessary liaisons with the Corps regarding the submittal such as meetings, site visits, conference calls, etc.

Project Implementation

RES will provide all services necessary to implement the project as prescribed in the project plan. This includes site preparation, tree planting, and post planting maintenance such as noxious and invasive species control. RES will also perform all necessary work to implement hydrology restoration measures which may include ditch plugs, filling ditches and/or drains, etc.

Monitoring and Maintenance

RES will deploy resources on a scheduled basis to perform monitoring of the project in accordance with a monitoring plan and schedule as described in the project report. RES will document the results of the monitoring in a detailed monitoring report which can be submitted to the Corps. The report will identify conditions and in the event of short falls in performance, describe the nature of the situation and corrective action to be taken to remedy the situation. RES will provide all necessary services to implement any corrective action that must be taken.

Financial Assurances

RES will include any financial assurances which may be required by the Corps for the project. This will include both short-term and long-term financial assurance. Short-term assurance insures the project success as measured by initial, interim, and long-term success criteria whereas long-term assurances maintain a principle by which the interest may be used for long-term management of the property such as on-going invasive species control.

Long-Term Protective Instrument

A third Party non-profit conservation organization will hold a conservation servitude on the project site. Their role is to provide annual inspection and subsequent reporting to the Corps to insure that the site is being maintained for its intended use as a mitigation project. Although the organization will hold the servitude RES will still serve as the manager and Long-term Steward of the project site.

WHY CUSTOM MITIGATION?

1. Custom mitigation can save clients millions of dollars compared to traditional mitigation alternatives.
2. Clients can focus on its project rather than devoting a large amount of time and resources dealing with mitigation issues during the permit process.
3. Clients need not worry about lingering mitigation requirements such as management, monitoring and reporting once the permit is issued for the project.
4. Clients can be assured that they will have sufficient mitigation for projects and not worry about the mitigation credit availability or the uncertainty of mitigation credit costs.
