With every development project, the impacts on the surrounding ecosystem must be avoided and minimized. After consideration of practical alternatives, if the project exceeds permit thresholds, a mitigation plan is required before occupancy of any permanent building or structure on the site. Relative to public roadways, likewise, the road cannot be opened to the public until the mitigation plan has been implemented.
Stream Bank Restoration
Central Carolina Seeding (CCS) specializes in stream bank restoration and wetlands mitigation. Why choose CCS? Proper implementation of erosion-control measures to restore and protect environmentally sensitive streams and wetlands requires specifically designed installation techniques - techniques that we have developed and perfected. Our mitigation process stabilizes eroded stream banks and improves habitats for aquatic life and wildlife with the installation of wetland plants and native seeding.
CCS has designed and implemented numerous wetland mitigation projects, and our experience with the complexities and nuances of mitigation gives us the expertise critical to the success of your stream or wetlands mitigation project.
Central Carolina Seeding conducts SWPPP inspections on behalf of operators across all regulated industries. These inspections play an essential role in verifying that erosion and sediment controls, as well as other best management practices, remain properly installed, maintained, and effective; thereby minimizing the discharge of pollutants into receiving waters during storm events.
As a Nation, we have systematically performed these inspections for less than forty years, following the implementation of the EPA’s Phase I stormwater program in the early 1990s. Although this represents a relatively brief period in the broader historical context, the practice has contributed meaningfully to the protection of our waterways, helping to safeguard the quality of our creeks, rivers, and oceans.
Sediment basins are one of the more common ways of controlling runoff on various types of construction sites. Basins, often-required erosion control devices, are installed throughout various projects with the intent of capturing sediment from stormwater runoff, before discharging the water. Once projects are complete, all basins must either be removed, or recommissioned for long-term stormwater management. CCS has extensive experience with both BMP Pond conversions and initial construction.
CCS has a wide range of completed hydroseeding projects across the country. We invite you to visit our project portfolio to view photos and videos of select projects. Some representative examples that span the scope of our work include:
