Stream and Wetland Restoration
BFEC personnel are extensively trained in wetland science, natural channel design and implementation. Our staff has completed Rosgen (Wildland Hydrology) training in the field of fluvial geomorphology, coupled with over nine years of professional experience in streambank stabilization and restoration. BFEC has designed, permitted, and implemented more than 6 miles of stream work in the High Country of North Carolina and Tennessee. We offer our clients turn-key restoration projects from planning through implementation.
An important part of enhancing any stream or wetland system includes accommodating restoration methods to promote habitat for local threatened and endangered species. BFEC staff is knowledgeable at identifying rare plant and animal species and enhancing their aquatic habitat.
Our team has also developed multiple wetland mitigation plans intended to offset proposed impacts to aquatic resources. These plans include design, permitting, implementation, and monitoring. This combined knowledge of stream and wetland mitigation allows BFEC to provide a wide range of Best Management options to our clients.
