Niswander Environmental is contracted by Toll Brothers to manage onsite wetland mitigation at the North Oaks development. The North Oaks Wetland Mitigations were originally constructed in 2017. After two years of development, the mitigation areas were failing to meet EGLE permit performance standards due to them either being upland or having too much water for too long. In order to meet the performance standards, several corrective actions were implemented by Niswander Environmental in 2020 including regrading, the installation of water control structures and re-seeding/planting several of the wetland mitigation areas. The site is now meeting the majority of the permit required performances standards and is developing into a self-sustaining wetland ecosystem. Niswander Environmental continues to manage invasive species across the development and perform corrective actions as necessary.
