3 Outline What is mitigation banking? What is the process? Example Mitigation Banks How do I get started?
4 What is Mitigation Banking?
5 What is Mitigation Banking?. the restoration, creation, enhancement of a wetland, stream, or habitat conservation area which offset expected adverse impacts to similar resources In general, Wetland for wetland Stream for stream Rare, Threatened & Endangered Species for R,T&E Nutrient for nutrient Credits as exchangeable currency Sell Credits on open market within defined Geographic Service Area
6 How do you establish a mitigation bank?
7 Mitigation Banking Process Prospectus Interagency Review Team (IRT) presentation, site meeting, project evaluation Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) and Bank Development Plan (BDP) Approval and Advance Release Open for Business!
