Wetland Mitigation Bank
McHenry County, Illinois
A 26 acre wetland mitigation bank was designed
and created by ENCAP, Inc. for the Sybaquay Girl
Scout Council. Work began in 1999 at the wetland
mitigation bank located at the Mary Anne Beebe
Center camp in McHenry County. Prior to the start
of the project, the mitigation bank area consisted
of wet woodland and sedge meadow communities
that were surrounded by upland areas and overrun
with Common Buckthorn, Reed Canary Crass,
and Thistle. Management activities performed by
ENCAP, Inc. consisted of the following:
- herbicide applications
- cutting of woody shrubs and girdling of
trees
- prescribed burns
- mowing and weed whacking
- located and broke agricultural drainage tiles
- installation of monitoring wells
- installation of native seed
The plant communities are now considered to be of high quality. In addition to the potential to generate
income, the area has been used as an education resource for Girl Scouts attending the camp. ENCAP,
Inc. continues monitoring and management activities at the site to this day.

The Ogden Hill Naturalized Stormwater Detention Basins are located northwest of Ogden
Avenue between Hill Avenue and U.S. Route 30 in the Village of Montgomery, Kendall
and Kane Counties, Illinois. The naturalized stormwater basins were designed to provide
stormwater storage as well as runoff control and water quality functions for the Ogden
Hill retail development and Marquis Pointe residential development. Naturalization of the
basins consisted of the planting of native emergent, wet-mesic, and upland vegetation within
designated plant community zones. ENCAP, Inc. conducted monitoring and management
of the site since 2006 and is currently in discussions with the Village of Montgomery for
acceptance.

This 15 acre wetland mitigation bank was designed by others. ENCAP, Inc. was able
to adjust the planting media to account for low water levels at the last minute prior to
installation. ENCAP, Inc. completed installation in 2002 and has since completed numerous
management activities (below):
• Planting of native trees and shrubs
Selective herbicide application of non-native perennial species
• Mowing and weed -whacking of non-native annual species
Prescribed burning
• Non-native woody shrub removal
The site met U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District performance standards in
2009. ENCAP continues to perform long term maintenance on the site for DuPage County.
