The sponsor is proposing to modify the Clay 137 bank to expand the conservation easement in order to encompass and receive credit for additional wetland area that developed as a result of the restoration activities. In 1997, the sponsor restored hydrology of eleven wetland basins by blocking drainages and planted native seeds within the wetland basins to improve the floristic quality of the wetlands. In 2001, the sponsor restored the hydrology of two additional wetland basins on his property by blocking drainages and planted native seed in these basins to improve floristic diversity in these wetlands. An easement was placed over the wetland basins in, protecting these wetland basins in perpetuity.
