The relocation of a 0.68 mile Archie Creek resulted in the creation of 21 miles of meandering stream with an assemblage of forested and freshwater marsh wetland communities. Over 222,000 marsh plants and 36,000 trees and shrubs were installed in carefully designated areas to create nearly 50 acres of forested wetland, freshwater marsh and flowing stream habitat. The construction and planting was completed in 2006. A supplemental planting of wetland trees occurred during 2011 and discussed in the Archie Creek Relocation and Mitigation Fifth Annual Monitoring Report, 2011.   Subsequent inspections by the regulatory agencies have resulted in the mitigation areas being deemed "successful" and released from future monitoring. Please see Program Modifications and the 2013 Archie Creek Restoration and Mitigation Seventh Annual Monitoring Report for additional information.
 
The first annual monitoring report was submitted in October 2007. Annual monitoring reports have been submitted annually with the next report available November 2014. All monitoring reports prepared to date are posted on the ILMP Documents page of this website.
 
Ongoing maintenance continues so as to eradicate exotic emergents within mitigation areas, while managing exotic coverage vegetation within the Archie Creek flow-way, where invasive species, primarily Hydrilla and parrot feather, continually migrate from upstream sources.
