The Chippewa Central
mitigation site is located in Medina County, Ohio, on 600 acres of land
acquired by the Medina County Park District for park land and habitat
restoration. The mitigation wetland will be approximately 111.6 acres,
18 acres of which will be restored. Approximately 93.6 acres of
jurisdictional wetlands dominated by Phalaris arundinacea (reed
canary grass) will be enhanced. The restored wetland habitats will
include 18 acres of forested and scrub-shrub habitat. Enhanced wetlands
will include 91.6 acres of emergent herbaceous habitats and
12 acres of scrub-shrub habitats. Medina County Park
District will manage the restored and enhanced wetlands as park lands,
