Mitigation Bank Sites (Historic), WI DNR

Description:

Wetland compensatory mitigation is a system overseen by the Wisconsin DNR and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that allows for authorized permittees to purchase wetland compensatory mitigation credits from another entity in an effort to offset the unavoidable adverse impacts of the permitted activity.  Private mitigation banking is one form of compensatory wetland mitigation.  Mitigation banks are sites or a suite of sites where wetlands are restored, established, enhanced, and/or preserved for the purpose of providing compensatory mitigation for impacts authorized by Corps or WDNR permits.  In general, a mitigation bank sells compensatory mitigation credits to permittees whose obligation to provide compensatory mitigation is then transferred to the mitigation bank sponsor.  The operation and use of a mitigation bank are governed by a mitigation bank instrument.  For information about the type and number of credits available, please contact the Banker directly.  Contact information for bankers can be found here: https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Wetlands/mitigation/bankingRegistry.html.  This layer provides a map of currently operating wetland mitigation bank sites.  Additional information about wetland mitigation banks can be found at either https://ribits.usace.army.mil/ or https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/Wetlands/mitigation/banking.html.
