The sponsor proposes to design, construct, and operate the Clay Creek Mitigation Bank (“bank”). The purpose of the bank is to provide off-site, third-party compensatory mitigation for projects that result in unavoidable impacts to waters of the United States, including wetlands and streams, within the bank’s specified service area. The site has a history of man-made disturbance. Aerial imagery from the late 1930s shows that since at least then the activities leading to aquatic resource degradation comprised draining, erosion and sedimentation, aquatic habitat fragmentation, stream incision and floodplain disconnection, and destruction of riparian buffers.
