The Castalia Quarry mitigation site is located in Erie County, Ohio, near the Castalia Quarry Reserve. The mitigation wetland will be approximately 30 acres, containing forested habitat with 6-10 acres of scrub-shrub and emergent habitats distributed throughout the site where gaps occur in the forest canopy. 

Erie MetroParks will use the restored wetlands at Castalia Quarry for environmental education, featuring interpretive programs with staff naturalists as well as on-site interpretive signs. All restored wetlands will be category 2 and 3 wetlands, managed and maintained as wetlands in perpetuity.

Subject to the approval of the regulatory agencies, this site is an appropriate location for mitigation for wetland impacts to category 2 or 3 wetlands in the same or adjacent watersheds, and for impacts to category 1 wetlands and for impacts to 3 acres or less of category 2 isolated wetlands anywhere within the boundaries of the Buffalo District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. See Blue Heron Reserve and Carlisle Reservation for mitigation in this and adjacent watersheds.

Credits are available for $16,000 per acre.
