The Schwarzkoph-Waage Mitigation Bank is a 176-acre site located along the Yellowstone and Bighorn River bottoms in Treasure County, Montana. Schwarzkoph-Waage Mitigation Bank was approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District in June 2014 for a potential of 43.2 wetland credits and 212,506 MT stream credits (includes riparian credits). The mitigation plan includes riparian buffer restoration and management, wetland restoration along the Yellowstone River, and revegetation of the river’s riparian buffer with native species.
