 Petit Bois Mitigation Bank Map
Petit Bois Mitigation Bank is a 580 acre site located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
Phase I of this multi-phase mitigation bank that initially delivers over 263 acres of bottomland hardwood restoration and over 16 acres of baldcypress/tupelo swamp ecosystem re-establishment.
A portion of the bank is located within the Coastal Wetlands Conservation (CWC) Plan boundary.
The primary watershed serviced by the Petit Bois ("Little Wood") Mitigation Bank contains much of the city of Lake Charles, including the entire southern area which has experienced significant growth especially south of the I-210 Loop, and the entire city limits of Sulphur and West Lake, both major industrial areas.
As more areas of the service area are developed for agricultural, industrial, commercial and residential uses, the Bank will provide significant functional value through the reduction of flooding and point source pollution within the Calcasieu Drainage Basin.
