Terra Technologies, in conjunction with Swallow Tail LLC, announces a Public Notice issued by the Kansas City District of the US Army Corps of Engineers for the proposed operation of the Stranger Creek Wetland and Stream Mitigation Bank in Wyandotte County, Kansas.
 The 75-acre restoration project was constructed by Swallow Tail in 2008 and 2009 to provide high quality wetland and stream mitigation credits for sale within the Kansas River Ecological Drainage Unit in Kansas. No less than 100 species of prairie grasses, wildflowers, wetland plants, trees and shrubs were planted on the parcel in 2009. Scientists with Terra Technologies are monitoring ecological enhancements at the site.
In addition to the creation of more than 17 acres of wetlands and almost 40 acres of riparian corridor, the project includes the restoration of floodplain ephemeral stream channels that had been converted to channelized agricultural drainage patterns to accommodate row crop farming.
Stranger Creek, a tributary to the Kansas River, forms the southern property boundary of the site.
