Hollowell Mitigation Bank

Hollowell Mitigation Bank is located in North Carolina’s Inner Coastal Plain Physiographic Province within the Neuse 01 Watershed (HUC 03020201). This bank provides stream, wetland, buffer, and nutrient offset credits to compensate for unavoidable impacts to Waters of the U.S. authorized under Sections 401/404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act. It also meets requirements under North Carolina’s Nutrient Offset and Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rule.

Restoration efforts include floodplain reconnection by lowering stream bank height, enhancing stream bedform diversity, and improving aquatic habitat through in-stream structure additions and native vegetation reestablishment.
