Overview

WHM maintains and controls off parcels throughout the gas production and pipeline regions of Pennsylvania exclusively for mitigation purposes. These sites generally fall into watershed areas informally pre-approved by permitting agencies to be used for offsite stream, wetland and riparian buffer habitat mitigation.

WHM is able to provide mitigation as a turnkey project with a full list of services, including GIS property searches, on-site resource evaluations for potential wetland mitigation, permitting from the state and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, construction, construction management and professional engineering certification, preparation of bid documents and project specifications, and wetland monitoring and maintenance.

WHM has both secured mitigation regulatory permits in our name and secured permits in the client’s name. WHM works closely with both the Army Corps of Engineers and the state level Environmental Regulatory Agencies in pre-qualifying sites and permits.

The aftercare, maintenance, and monitoring, are on-going responsibilities of WHM and associated costs are built into the pricing. Typically our clients prefer not to hold long term monitoring responsibilities.

WHM also coordinates with various sporting groups (turkey, deer, fishing, and overall outdoor sports groups) for the design, feed stock, and special features so as to enhance wildlife, its feedstock and enhance water quality. Additionally, many of the parcels that WHM holds are farm sites from which farmers are increasingly realizing the nutrient and livestock management value exchanges between WHM and the gas producers and pipeline mitigation requirements.
