During the survey work for the wetland mitigation bank the project owner engaged a qualified third-party consultant, Stantec, to assess restoring segments of the lower reaches of Willow Creek and Pumpkinseed Creek. Stantec discovered that the property also includes two possible sites for stream restoration. Similar to the wetland mitigation program, any developer that obtains approval to disturb a stream located in a watershed must obtain credits from a qualified mitigation site as a condition to seeking USACE approval for such disturbance. In 2022 the project owner submitted a Prospectus and received Interagency Review Team (IRT) approval for a Stream Mitigation project. In 2025 the owner anticipates completing the engineering work required to receive approval for the stream credit project. Preliminary estimates show that there are approximately 7,000 functional feet of stream credits available from the two sites.
