Stream & Wetland Mitigation/Restoration

KCI provides stream and wetland restoration, mitigation banking, and environmental services that help clients meet regulatory requirements while restoring and protecting natural resources.

Our multidisciplinary team combines environmental science, engineering, surveying, planning, permitting, and construction expertise to evaluate restoration opportunities and develop practical solutions tailored to each project’s needs. We work with private property owners interested in exploring mitigation opportunities on their land, as well as developers, agencies, and permit holders seeking solutions for permitted impacts to aquatic resources. Through mitigation banking and restoration projects, KCI helps clients evaluate site feasibility, navigate regulatory requirements, and advance projects that support water quality, habitat, stream stability, and long-term environmental health.
