Compensation Planning Framework Clause Samples

Compensation Planning Framework. All mitigation projects provided by the 29 Sponsor under the terms of this Instrument will comply with the Compensation Planning 30 Framework presented in Appendices H through Appendix Q. The Compensation Planning 31 Framework will be used to select, secure, and implement aquatic resource restoration, 32 enhancement, and/or preservation activities.

Compensation Planning Framework. All mitigation projects provided by the Sponsor under the terms of this Instrument will comply with the Compensation Planning Framework presented in Appendices   through Appendix   [revise to one Appendix if appropriate]. The Compensation Planning Framework will be used to select, secure, and implement aquatic resource restoration, establishment, enhancement, and/or preservation activities.

Compensation Planning Framework. All mitigation projects provided by the NCDMS under the terms of this agreement will comply with the Compensation Planning Framework presented in Appendix I.

Compensation Planning Framework. In accordance with 33 CFR 332.8(c)(2), the Compensation Planning Framework established under this Instrument and attached as Exhibit D includes the following elements: i. The geographic Service Area(s), including a watershed-based rationale for the delineation of each Service Area; ii. A description of the threats to Aquatic Resources in the Service Area(s), including how the in- lieu fee program will help offset Impacts resulting from those threats; iii. An analysis of historic Aquatic Resource loss in the Service Area(s); iv. An analysis of current Aquatic Resource conditions in the Service Area(s), supported by an appropriate level of field documentation; v. A statement of Aquatic Resource goals and objectives for each Service Area, including a description of the general amounts, types and locations of Aquatic Resources the program will seek to provide; vi. A prioritization strategy for selecting and implementing Compensatory Mitigation activities; vii. An explanation of how any Preservation objectives identified in paragraph (c)(2)(v) of this Section and addressed in the prioritization strategy in paragraph (c)(2)(vi) satisfy the criteria for use of Preservation in §332.3(h); viii. A description of any public and private stakeholder involvement in plan development and implementation, including, where appropriate, coordination with federal, state, tribal and local Aquatic Resource management and regulatory authorities; ix. A description of the long-term protection and management strategies for activities conducted by the in-lieu fee program sponsor; x. A strategy for periodic evaluation and reporting on the progress of the program in achieving the goals and objectives in paragraph (c)(2)(v) of this Section, including a process for revising the planning framework as necessary; and xi. Any other information deemed necessary for effective compensation planning by the district engineer.

Compensation Planning Framework. 1. The Compensation Planning Framework (CPF) for the Mitigation Program is attached as Appendix A. The CPF will be used to select, secure, and implement specific compensatory mitigation projects. The CPF describes the geographic service area(s) for the Mitigation Program and how they were selected.

Compensation Planning Framework. The Compensation Planning Framework (Exhibit D) identifies goals and objectives for Aquatic Resources as well as priority acquisition areas. Under this framework, the Habitat Agency is continually working to identify sites for Preservation that meet and provide opportunities to meet the goals and objectives of the Compensation Planning Framework. Once the Sponsor has preserved a site consistent with the Compensation Planning Framework, it begins evaluating preserved lands for Restoration, Establishment, and enhancement opportunities. Actual Mitigation Projects are selected based on available options, the Sponsor's progress on mitigation site development to date, and anticipated mitigation need (i.e., near-term projections for projects seeking coverage under the Habitat Plan).

Compensation Planning Framework. This Exhibit A contains two parts: 1. Compensation Planning Framework (CPF) model: The model presents the intentions and general model for CPFs that will be developed for each Service Area prior to conducting mitigation projects.

Compensation Planning Framework. All mitigation projects provided by the 452 Sponsor under the terms of this Instrument will comply with the Compensation Planning 453 Framework presented in Appendices H through Appendix R and Appendix V. The 454 Compensation Planning Framework will be used to select, secure, and implement aquatic 455 resource re-establishment, rehabilitation, establishment, enhancement, and/or preservation 456 activities. 457 I. Mitigation Site Operational Phases: Mitigation sites have two operational phases: 458 (1) the Establishment Phase in which the Site is developed, constructed and actively managed, 459 and (2) the Long-Term Management Phase, once the site has met performance standards of the 460 approved Mitigation Plan. 461 1. 462 463 464 465 466 467 468 469 470 471 2. 472 473 474 475 The Establishment Phase of a particular Mitigation Site will commence upon the Sponsor receiving both the approved Mitigation Plan (See Appendix L, Credit Fulfillment, Section 3.0) and a copy of a recorded Site Protection Instrument pursuant to Article ▇.▇▇., Mitigation Site Protections. Prior to termination of the Establishment Phase of a Mitigation Site, the IRT will perform a final compliance inspection to evaluate whether all performance standards have been achieved. Upon termination of the Establishment Phase the Corps and Ecology, after consultation with the IRT, shall release all available ILF credits for the Mitigation Site to the Sponsor. Termination of the Establishment Phase is conditioned upon the Mitigation Site meeting the requirements to enter Long-Term Management. The Long-Term Management Phase of a particular Mitigation Site will commence upon the Co-Chairs determining, in consultation with the IRT, and the Sponsor, that: a. All applicable performance standards for the Site prescribed in the IRT- approved Mitigation Plan have been achieved;
