Wetland Services Inc. has been a leader in wetland restoration and ecological consulting since it undertook its first Section 404 project in 1997. This initial project, conducted for a local power company, set the foundation for the company’s commitment to providing expert consulting and restoration services. Based in the Illinois basin region, specifically Southern Indiana, Southern Illinois, and Western Kentucky, Wetland Services has undertaken projects ranging in size from small 5-acre sites to extensive 17,000-acre endeavors. Their expertise encompasses jurisdictional determination, permitting, mitigation, as well as monitoring and maintenance of wetlands and streams.
Over the years, Wetland Services has successfully conducted jurisdictional determinations on more than 80,000 acres of land, navigating the complex regulatory landscape of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The company specializes in design-build mitigation projects, ensuring compliance with Sections 401 and 404 of the CWA, which regulate the placement of dredged or fill material into designated waters, including wetlands and streams. This focus allows them to offer clients timely and cost-effective results while safeguarding water quality and enhancing the environment.
What sets Wetland Services apart is the combination of personal morals and professional expertise that the team brings to their projects. The team consists of individuals who share a deep, intuitive understanding of the land, shaped by their backgrounds in farming, hunting, and fishing, alongside their formal education in restoration ecology and geographic technology. With decades of experience, Wetland Services aims to be the premier choice for clients seeking comprehensive and ethical ecological restoration services, all grounded in a profound understanding of regional ecology.
