The Carlisle Reservation-Hale Road mitigation site is located in Lorain County, Ohio, within the boundaries of the metropolitan park of the same name. The mitigation wetland will consist of 77 acres containing emergent herbaceous (45 acres) and forested/scrub-shrub (32 acres) habitats. Lorain County Metropolitan Park District will integrate the wetlands into Carlisle Reservation, a 1,500 acre park which includes seven miles of trails, a nature center, an equestrian center and a variety of specialty facilities.  The restored wetlands will be used for environmental education, facilitated by interpretive programs and features. All restored wetlands will be category 2 and 3 wetlands, managed and maintained as wetland in perpetuity.
