The Great Pee Dee Mitigation Bank is a 1,093.86-acre bank located in the Dillon and Marion Counties, South Carolina.The mitigation plan consists of enhancements, restorations and preservations to streams and wetlands associated with the Great Pee Dee River, Mill Creek and Poccosin Swamp.
Overall, the project will protect approximately 38,450 linear feet and 1,019.7 acres of jurisdictional wetlands. The bank will also protect approximately 56.42 acres of non-jurisdictional lands that contribute to the ecological functioning of the jurisdictional aquatic resources within the bank.
