In the design of a new Regions Bank facility the piping of a stream could not be avoided so, mitigation was necessary.  The scope of work included locating the mitigation site, a natural stream design using bioengineering and geomorphological methods, securing of Clean Water Act 401 and 404 permits, the stream restoration/construction, and post-construction monitoring.  The restoration site was located on a degraded urban stream in downtown Highlands, NC.  The design included the re-creation of a C4b stream with the correct meander pattern,  step-pool habitat, and the planting of riparian vegetation.  The long-term stabilization of this site was achieved by re-establishing the riparian root system. Such species as American Sycamore, Buttonbush, Dog Hobble, Silky Dogwood and Virginia Sweetspire were planted at this site.
