The Foster Run Mitigation Bank encompasses approximately 347 acres across five parcels of land. The project was designed to restore, enhance, and preserve functional streams and wetlands that offset unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources at off-site locations.
Restoration efforts focused on reestablishing natural hydrologic, hydraulic, and geomorphic processes within stream channels and adjacent riparian areas. These actions support the development of self-sustaining stream and wetland systems that provide long-term ecological benefits.
Foster Run successfully met all monitoring requirements in late 2024 and has entered the long-term management phase. As the site continues to mature, it will provide increased erosion control, improved habitat quality, and expanded biodiversity across the project area.
