Welcome to IRIS Mitigation and Design, Inc.

IRIS Mitigation and Design, Inc. (IRIS) is involved in all aspects of wetland delineation, Section 404 permitting and mitigation work including wetland creation/enhancement and long-term monitoring in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain West. IRIS specializes in wildlife and threatened and endangered species issues, including identifying the presence/absence of species and their habitat, agency permitting, habitat mitigation, enhancement and restoration work. IRIS has successfully completed many native plant restoration and mitigation projects across the state, including upland plains, wetland, riparian, pond, foothills, and higher mountain ecosystem restoration. We conduct soil and water sampling/analysis and recommend how to improve soil and water quality conditions as part of overall site improvement and restoration.

“I have worked with Blair on two major wetland mitigation projects and both projects have been very successful for Routt County.”
“I believe that the created wetland and wildlife habitat represents not only success of the projects meeting U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) criteria, but the depth and breadth of knowledge and commitment that Blair brings to her projects. The wetland areas that Blair has helped Routt County create represent to me the best possible outcome for both the human and wildlife population.I would strongly recommend that you give careful consideration to IRIS Mitigation and Design, Inc. for your projects.Blair Leisure has far exceeded Routt County’s expectations for professional wetland mitigation design and USACE monitoring on both projects and the County would confidently retain her services for future wetland projects.”
