GMC established a 93-acre site in Dallas County, Alabama as a single-user stream and wetland mitigation bank for the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). The site had previously been used for agriculture and silviculture activities. These activities resulted in a loss of wildlife habitat and unstable stream banks that were actively eroding, causing sediment loading to the Cahaba River.
Over 5,000 linear feet of stream and its associated riparian buffer are being restored, resulting in improved water quality in the Cahaba River watershed. The Freshwater Land Trust, in partnership with GMC, established a conservation easement to include the Selma Dixon Mitigation Bank in February of 2018.
GMC is one of the most comprehensive multi-disciplined architecture and engineering firms in the Southeast.
