PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The Sponsor proposes the establishment and operation of a large-scale wetland and stream complex available for regional wetland and stream compensation that would be managed and maintained in perpetuity.  The objective of the Cypress Creek Mitigation Bank (CCMB) is to provide replacement of the various functions and values of wetlands and streams lost due to permitted impacts to jurisdictional areas within the proposed Primary and Secondary Service Areas.  In addition to the creation of wetlands, the bank will propose preserving high quality stream habitat and riparian corridor along Cypress Creek.

The proposal is to create approximately 88 acres of herbaceous wetlands on-site within existing, previously disturbed upland agricultural fields.  The applicant proposes enhancement of the existing 16 acres of herbaceous wetlands, while 3 acres of agricultural ponds will be restored to wetlands.  All these aquatic resources will be held in perpetuity by the placement of a conservation easement held by a qualified third party land trust.  Additionally, there is the potential to restore and enhance portions of Cypress Creek tributaries.
