What is a Mitigation Bank? If your project results in permanent impacts, you may be required to purchase credits from an approved mitigation bank within your watershed. These banks have obtained permits themselves to create and preserve wetlands and other waters, as well as habitat for threatened and endangered species. They are set up to sell you credits until they run out. #environmentalplanning #mitigationbank #wetlands #coxplanningsolutions #duediligence #wetlands #propertydevelopment #permitting #environmentalplanning #environmentalplanner #environmentalconsulting #environmentalconsultant #projectplanning #wetlanddelineation #biologicalresources
