ENVIRONMENTAL
Restoration and enhancement plans for the Wetlands Solutions bank sites help to balance land development with the preservation of wetlands. Our management activities
yield extensive, large-scale environmental rehabilitation as opposed to
conventional mitigation methods that offer insignificant short-term environmental
benefits because they are generally performed on a much smaller scale by developers
who would prefer not to become wetlands experts. When faced with wetlands
mitigation requirements, the purchase of credits from a Wetlands Solutions
bank. . .
- ensures that compensatory mitigation for permitted impacts will be successful and maintained in perpetuity by mitigation and conservation experts whose priority is environmental restoration.
- offers a broader ecological value than conventional "postage stamp" mitigation and affords functional wetlands replacement and sustainable environmental benefits in advance of proposed development impacts.
- helps assure that future generations will inherit the beauty and the benefits of our native coastal ecology.
The formidable task of providing satisfactory wetlands mitigation is simplified through the use of credits from a Wetlands Solutions mitigation bank. The purchase of credits from Wetlands Solutions...
- allows developers to quantify exact mitigation costs up-front
- spares developers the hidden expenses, risks, liabilities, and uncertainties which are inherent in individual mitigation projects
- irrevocably transfers mitigation liability to environmental professionals
- consolidates the burdens of mitigation site selection, design, permitting, implementation and perpetual maintenance and monitoring into a simple paperwork transaction
- expedites permitting process by eliminating the need for extensive mitigation plan scrutiny by regulatory agencies
- optimizes the use of your development site while promoting ecologically significant wetlands restoration.
Use of credits from a Wetlands Solutions mitigation bank offers several permitting and regulatory advantages:
- Consolidation of environmental benefits from numerous individual projects into one large-scale ecological unit.
- Reduces permitting time by allowing permittees to offer pre-approved mitigation that has already borne regulatory scrutiny and been accepted by a panel of federal and state agencies including the Army Corps of Engineers, EPA, US Fish and Wildlife and the Mississippi Departments of Environmental Quality and Marine Resources.
- Gives regulators the added assurance that your mitigation is being handled by wetlands banking professionals and will be preserved in perpetuity by conservation specialists.
- Promotes regulatory efficiency by concentrating numerous mitigation projects and allowing agency personnel to better focus their monitoring and compliance efforts and make more effective use of limited time and resources.
