Petersburg Wetland Mitigation

The Petersburg State Game Area in Monroe County is owned by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). The MDNR received grant funding to develop and design a wetland bank for the purposes of wetland mitigation in the area. The bank will be located along the Stacy Drain in Summerfield Township.

Spicer Group provided a preliminary wetland mitigation bank agreement including the bank size, ecological wetland types and functions, ecoregion, or watershed to be served by the bank, and the requirements for establishment, operation, and long-term maintenance by the sponsor. Along with this Spicer was responsible for the planning and design of the project which comprised of construction plans, permitting, bidding documents, and obtaining a geotechnical evaluation of the site.

Currently, Spicer Group is providing construction oversight for the project which started in 2023. The final completion date for the new wetland mitigation bank is currently set for spring, 2025.
