David Flick, Principal and Founder of Terra Technologies, announces the firm completed design, permitting, and construction oversight of a substantial permittee-provided mitigation project in Johnson County, Kansas.
Constructed by Swallow Tail LLC, the project serves to restore approximately 5 acres of historic wetlands, prairies and riparian habitat on a headwater stream to Coffee Creek.
Headwater tributaries once existed to provide nutrients and hydrology to floodplain wetlands and perennial streams. Restoration opportunities for such streams are rare, many of which have been permanently piped by adjacent developments. At the mitigation site, the headwater stream was previously filled, impounded and channelized by farming and residential projects. The mitigation project restores a substantial segment of intermittent tributary adjacent to other local tributaries that combine to form Coffee Creek.
