Seven Pines Stream Mitigation Bank

The Seven Pines Mitigation Bank is located on eight parcels of land, all held by various landowners, which total approximately 384 acres. The goal of the bank is to restore, enhance, and preserve self-sustaining, functional streams and wetlands to mitigate for lost functions due to unavoidable off-site impacts to streams and wetlands. This project will restore hydrology, hydraulic, and geomorphic functions to stream and riparian ecosystems within the site boundary and produce 11,602 stream credits and 3.81 wetland credits.

In 2024, Seven Pines Mitigation Bank achieved all required monitoring requirements and entered long-term management. The resorted streams are now stable, preventing erosion that contributed to large sediment loads downstream of the site. The diverse plant communities will continue to mature over the coming years, providing sustainable habitat for a wide range of native fauna.
