Arnold is a Jefferson County city on the Meramec River south of St. Louis, one of the St. Louis metro's most active residential and commercial development communities on the Meramec River corridor, where clearing demand spans residential subdivision development on rolling terrain, commercial growth along US-61/67 and Jeffco Boulevard, and the Meramec River corridor's bottomland clearing needs. Jefferson County's terrain at Arnold has rolling glaciated Missouri upland above the Meramec River valley, and Missouri DNR NPDES permit coverage is required for disturbances exceeding one acre.
Bush honeysuckle has invaded the woodland understory extensively throughout the Arnold area's suburban and creek corridor landscape, and the Meramec River bottomland has Chinese privet and Japanese honeysuckle in some riparian margins. Multiflora rose is established in suburban woodland edges throughout Jefferson County.
Forestry mulching serves Arnold's active Jefferson County clearing market, handling residential subdivision vegetation management and Meramec River bottomland brush clearing. The Meramec River corridor benefits from mulching's compatibility with Army Corps of Engineers and Missouri DNR riparian buffer guidelines.
Arnold lot clearing in Jefferson County requires Missouri DNR NPDES permit coverage for disturbances over one acre, with Meramec River floodplain requiring Army Corps of Engineers and Missouri DNR review for fill and grading.
