Milburnie Dam Mitigation Project
with
Tiffani Bylow
Restoration Systems, LLC
For more than a decade the Milburnie Dam sat idle. It had simply fallen into disrepair, suffered frequent vandalism and trespass, becoming a dangerous eyesore. Like any dam, Milburnie had a serious impact on the ecology of its river. The Neuse River had been unnaturally flooded above the dam for decades and blocked the migration of fish.
In 2002 the North Carolina Interagency DRTF (Dam Removal Task Force) designated Milburnie Dam as a priority for removal. Their conclusion was the dam should be removed, primarily to remove the barrier to migratory fish such as striped bass and American shad.
The dam owners worked with Raleigh based environmental restoration experts, Restoration Systems (RS). This meant the dam won't just be demolished, in its place RS created a purpose-built 'mitigation bank'.
Mitigation banking is the careful restoration of natural habitats to repair the damage made by the dam on the original ecosystem.
Tiffani Bylow joined the Restoration Systems team as Office Manager in 2006. She attended college in Tennessee before moving to Raleigh, where she worked in accounting for Highwoods Properties. She has also worked as an Office Manager for Triangle Reprographics and EHG, an environmental remediation company, where she gained valuable knowledge about the environmental industry. While Tiffani was hired as the Office Manager of RS, her role has evolved with the changing needs of the Company. Tiffani Manages the credits sales and company finance by working with Restoration Systems' customers through the sales cycle to meet their mitigation needs as efficiently as possible. She is the Project Manager for the Milburnie Dam Mitigation Bank which includes coordinating with outside consultants on the engineering and monitoring of the former dam site and its surrounding area. She consistently meets with state and federal agencies, including the Army Corps of Engineers, US Fish and Wildlife Service, NC Wildlife Resource Commission and Environmental Protection Agency to create and continue the successful progress of the Milburnie Dam Stream Mitigation Bank.
