IDOT Seeks Land for Wetland Creation and Restoration
Illinois Ag Connection - 04/19/2017
The Illinois Department of Transportation is seeking to purchase land from willing sellers for wetland mitigation in Hamilton, White, Saline, Gallatin, Hardin, Pope, Johnson and Massac counties as well as the eastern portion of Jefferson, Williamson and Union
counties.
Desired property characteristics include:
- Located in floodplain or frequently flooded
- In crop production since 1984 or categorized by the Natural Resource Conservation Service as PC (Prior Converted)
- Hydric soil
Many construction projects can affect nearby ecosystems. Wetland mitigation offsets expected adverse effects through preservation, enhancement, restoration or creation of a wetland, stream or habitat. IDOT is in need of a large tract of land within these
identified southern counties.
