Wetland Mitigation
The 145.99-acre PG&E Palermo Mitigation Site is located in Butte County, California and hosts a range of historic vernal pools, vernal swales, and seasonal wetlands. WES re-established and rehabilitated the site by excavating and reconnecting the landscape features to retain rainfall and runoff. The project restored the damaged landscape which was originally zones to create multiple 40-acre ranchettes. Through restoration, WES was able to establish endangered native plant species that were not known to occur on-site prior. The site also conserves the federally endangered Conservancy fairy shrimp.
