COMITE RESOURCES

Comite Resources was established in 1998 by Dr. John Day initially for the purpose of evaluating, designing, and monitoring assimilation wetlands, a technique that he pioneered in Louisiana. Since this time, the company has evolved to provide a suite of environmental services. Assimilation wetlands are wetlands that receive discharge of secondarily treated and disinfected effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants. This effluent would normally be discharged into nearby rivers and bayous, but by discharging into wetlands it provides much needed nutrients and sediments, which increases plant growth and enhances accretion (see Assimilation Wetlands)... Comite Resources has worked to develop other wetland restoration techniques, such as the establishment of mangroves to increase soil strength and for carbon sequestration... Comite Resources specializes in wetland restoration and we have decades of experience in wetland assessment, monitoring, management and delineation.
