Wetland Mitigation Banks
When existing wetlands are altered, the entity causing the unavoidable impact must offset the damage. Wetland mitigation banking is well established in the Midwest, but there is still a need for more credits. Midwest Wetland Improvements can help you protect your investment with Wetland Mitigation Banking across the upper Midwest. Learn more about your land’s potential in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North and South Dakota.
What Is Wetland Mitigation Banking?
Wetland mitigation banking attaches a monetary value to vital wetland ecosystems. You can provide and protect critical environmental areas on your property that generate sellable credits on an open market. This market-based system generates revenue, making wildlife habitat protection, flood control, water quality, and other wetland functions more effective.
Of course, these projects must meet stringent local, state, tribal, and/or federal standards from numerous regulatory agencies. MWI can help you comply with environmental regulations while supporting the restoration, creation, enhancement, and preservation of wetland ecosystems on your property. We can help with:
- Credit Availability: Contact us to inquire about the availability of mitigation credits for your specific project location and impact requirements.
- Credit Purchase: We can help you fund and purchase the required mitigation credits from recognized regulatory organizations.
- Compliance Assurance: Our team helps you utilize the purchased credits to offset wetland impacts, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
- Project Design: Our team can complete an initial assessment of your property for mitigation bank potential. If the concept moves forward, we can complete the construction plans, including permit approvals.
- Regulatory Permitting and Project Approval: Our team will complete and submit the regulatory documentation and design documents, including a prospectus for approval and the final Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) preparation.
- Construction Bidding and Oversight: We have a network of qualified dirt work and vegetation contractors with whom we have worked before. We can help manage the bidding process and oversee construction and maintenance activities to ensure the project is built to design specifications.
- Restoration and Monitoring: MWI oversees the implementation of your mitigation project, including restoration activities and long-term monitoring to ensure the success of the mitigation efforts.
