The USRMB Phase 2 Mitigation Bank provides in-kind compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to stream and wetland resources. The bank was established to restore degraded systems and generate measurable functional uplift within the service area.

Restoration activities employed a floodplain restoration approach supported by a comprehensive native planting plan. Design elements focused on reestablishing hydrologic connectivity, stabilizing channel morphology, and improving wetland function to restore ecological integrity across the site.

The bank met all performance standards during early monitoring and demonstrated the successful implementation of both the planting plan and the floodplain restoration strategy. Monitoring documented substantial improvements in stream stability, vegetative establishment, and wetland function, resulting in sustained ecological uplift.

The project is currently in Year 6 and continues to function as a stable, self-sustaining stream and wetland system that provides long-term mitigation value.
