State, county and local officials ceremoniously plant seeds to mark the start of the $1.2 million Grass Creek Mitigation Project. Reconnecting tidal channels, removing earthen dikes, and re-establishing vegetation on the 68-acre property helps mitigate work WSDOT is doing for the SR 520 Pontoon Construction Project.
The mitigation project at Grass Greek removed portions of an earthen dike on the 68-acre Grass Creek site. Work started in summer 2011, reconnecting tidal channels and restoring the natural tidal influence to the site. The work at Grass Creek restores and protects a variety of wetlands and shoreline habitats.

In March 2006, the BLM issued the Jonah Infill Drilling Project Record of Decision (ROD) following extensive analysis in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). This decision allowed operators to infill drill and develop new gas wells and ancillary facilities which could potentially result in ~14,000 acres of surface disturbance at any one time, but could not exceed ~20,000 cumulative acres over the life of the project. The EIS analysis indicated on-site mitigation of impacts was inadequate for that level of development. Considering these findings, EnCana Oil & Gas (USA) and BP America Production Company committed $24.5M in compensatory (off-site) mitigation. EnCana designated $16.5M of the fund be used to mitigate wildlife impacts, while the remaining $8M could be used to mitigate other resource impacts, perform monitoring, or accomplish other activities.
To manage this approach, the ROD created the Jonah Interagency Mitigation and Reclamation Office (JIO). This office, with representatives from Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Wyoming Department of Agriculture, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and the Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management, is tasked with implementation and management of both on-site monitoring and the off-site mitigation program.
Critical to meeting these responsibilities, the JIO adopted a program that accepts off-site mitigation projects from Federal or State agencies, non-profit organizations, businesses, or individuals. In addition, specific strategic goals were developed to ensure potential project proponents are aware of the JIO’s needs in terms of mitigation projects.
A dirt footpath runs across the top of the southern portion of the original Dugualla Bay dike, which was built in 1918 to create farmland on Whidbey Island. In summer 2015 WSDOT will build a new dike where the current Dike Road is located, then rebuild the road on top of the dike. When that is complete, the old dike will be breached in two places, allowing water from Dugualla Bay into the area to restore a saltwater marsh. The marsh will provide natural habitat for salmon and other species. The work is mitigation for WSDOT’s SR 532 Davis Slough bridge project.
After the original dike was built in 1918 by the Dugualla Bay beach on Whidbey Island, the area that had been a saltwater marsh dried and was farmed for many years. Dike Road now runs across the low land. To restore the saltwater marsh, WSDOT will build a new dike where the existing southern end of Dike Road is, then rebuild the road on top of the dike. The old dike will be breached in two places, allowing water from Dugualla Bay to flow into the area during the highest tides and restoring the saltwater marsh as mitigation for the SR 532 Davis Slough Bridge project. It will be a habitat for young salmon.

Oystershell scale is a widespread problem, an emerging invasive insect posing a serious threat to conservation of quaking aspen in northern Arizona and beyond. A serious priority for researchers, oystershell scale monitoring and research is occurring on the Flagstaff and Mogollon Rim Ranger Districts with collaborators from NAU School of Forestry.
Photos are from a collaborative field trip with NAU School of Forestry and the USFS. We shadowed researchers and graduate students, visiting two test plots where possible mitigations for oystershell spread are being reviewed.

The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) East Africa is working with partners to empower communities in lower Nyando manage climate risk. Agro-forestry, land and water management are among the mitigation interventions employed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Nyando basin. So far, 22 tree nurseries, some owned by self-help groups (more than half of all the nurseries are female-owned). More than 50,000 high-quality tree seedlings have been produced, each worth KSh10-20. About 23,500 multipurpose trees have been planted in homesteads with a 75 per cent survival rate and the local community is establishing a two acre demonstration woodlot. Photos: K. Trautmann.

The water mitigation contractor is being extremely thorough about drying the place out -- in addition to the nine blowers, two dehumidifiers and air scrubber shown here, there are already six more blowers and two "dehumes" inside. After all this equipment was running my wife sarcastically commented, "I always wanted to live in a wind tunnel."
