Compensatory mitigation. When compensatory measures are appropriate pursuant to the mitigation sequence analysis described in regulation 6.3(3):
Compensatory mitigation. Replacement of aquatic resources and its functions and values for the purposes of compensating for unavoidable adverse impacts which remain after all appropriate and practicable avoidance and minimization of impacts has been achieved. The replacement of the wetland functions and values is generally accomplished through wetland restoration (re-establishment or rehabilitation), creation (establishment), enhancement, or in exceptional circumstances, wetland preservation.
Compensatory mitigation. Appropriate and practicable compensatory mitigation is required for unavoidable adverse impacts which remain after all appropriate and practicable minimization has been required. Compensatory actions (e.g., restoration of existing degraded wetlands or creation of man-made wetlands) should be undertaken when practicable, in areas adjacent or continuous to the discharge site (on-site compensatory mitigation). If on-site compensatory mitigation is not practicable, off-site compensatory mitigation should be undertaken in the same geographic area if practicable (i.e., in close proximity and, to the extent possible, the same watershed). In determining compensatory mitigation, the functional values lost by the resource to be impacted must be considered. Generally, in-kind compensatory mitigation is preferable to out-of-kind. There is continued uncertainty regarding the success of wetland creation or other habitat development. Therefore, in determining the nature and extent of habitat development of this type, careful consideration should be given to its likelihood of success. Because the likelihood of success is greater and the impacts to potentially valuable uplands are reduced, restoration should be the first option considered. In the situation where the Corps is evaluating a project where a permit issued by another agency requires compensatory mitigation, the Corps may consider that mitigation as part of the overall application for purposes of public notice, but avoidance and minimization shall still be sought. Mitigation banking may be an acceptable form of compensatory mitigation under specific criteria designed to ensure an environmentally successful bank. Where a mitigation bank has been approved by EPA and the Corps for purposes of providing compensatory mitigation for specific identified projects, use of that mitigation bank for those particular projects is considered as meeting the objective of Section II.C.3 of this MOA, regardless of the practicability of other forms of compensatory mitigation. Additional guidance on mitigation banking will be provided. Simple purchase or "preservation" of existing wetlands resources may in only exceptional circumstances be accepted as compensatory mitigation. EPA and Army will develop specific guidance for preservation in the context of compensatory mitigation at a later date.
Compensatory mitigation. For purposes of Section 10/404, compensatory mitigation is the restoration, creation, enhancement, or in exceptional circumstances, preservation of wetlands and/or other aquatic resources for the purpose of compensating for unavoidable adverse impacts which remain after all appropriate and practicable avoidance and minimization has been achieved.
Compensatory mitigation. Grantor reserves the right to perform any restoration, enhancement, and other wetland mitigation activities required by Section 404 permit’s and/or Mitigation Banking Instruments, including the use of all equipment necessary to successfully complete any mitigation requirements contained therein.
Compensatory mitigation. Activities conducted by an authorization holder, permittee or third party to create, restore or enhance wetland functional attributes to compensate for the adverse effects of project development.
Compensatory mitigation a) Indicate in ACRES and LINEAR FEET (where appropriate) the total quantity of waters of the United States proposed to be Created, Restored and/or Enhanced for purposes of providing Compensatory Mitigation If mitigating for state waters that were not considered federally jurisdictional then attach a description of the proposed mitigation: The project will result in a permanent discharge of 0.06 acre of fill into wetland waters and 0.01 acre of fill into non-wetland waters of the State. The project proposed to purchase seasonal wetland credits at the SMUD Nature Preserve Mitigation Bank at a 2:1 ratio. Water Body Type Created Restored Enhanced b) If contributing to a Mitigation or Conservation Bank, indicate the agency, dollar amount, acreage, and water body type (if applicable): Mitigation Bank or Conservation Agency SMUD Nature Preserve Mitigation Bank $ 28,000 for 0.14 acres of seasonal wetland (water body type) How many acres of this mitigation area qualify as waters of the United States? All
Compensatory mitigation. In accordance with Provision (4)(A) (ii) of the TxDOT - TPWD MOU and at the TxDOT District’s discretion, habitats given consideration for non- regulatory mitigation during project planning will include:
