   Instead of having a circle full of turf grass, we're designing it with native flowers and native prairies - huge butterfly gardens, basically," said Troy Anderson, AES contracting division manager.

   "Previously, if you were to develop, fill or dredge an acre of isolated wetland, you were legally required to mitigate that damage by either creating an acre or more of wetland elsewhwere or buying an acre or more of credit in a mitigation bank," explained AES Contracting Manager Troy Anderson.
   ...
   According to Anderson, the impact of the Supreme Court's decision has been felt not only by the environment but also by environmental firms like AES, for whom wetland mitigation banking had become "bread and butter" business. As of the summer of 2000 the company had restored wetlands on 18 mitigation bank projects, contracting with Land and Water Resources (LAWR) in Rosemont, IL on all but two, when banking initiatives came to a sudden halt - that is, until the Chicago counties of Lake, DuPage and Kane came to the rescue by adopting their own regulations to protect local isolated wetlands. Already AES has been contracted by LAWR to install two new Illinois banks this year; in essence, the banking business is back on. Seeding took place this spring at Mink Creek in Romeoville, where AES' job is to enhance and maintain an existing bank; and at Lily Cache Creek in Bolingbrook, LAWR is doing extensive earthwork this summer in preparation for fall seeding by AES.
   
   "It's huge that we're working on two banks after a three-year hiatus," concluded Anderson, who added that the Illinois DNR is expected to take jurisdiction shortly in counties that do not yet have regulations - more good news for the future of local wetlands and the wildlife they support.
