Wetland mitigation definition

Wetland mitigation means a sequence of intentional steps or ac- tions taken to reduce impacts to wetlands. Unless the context refers to the entire mitigation sequence, or clearly indicates other steps, the term "wetland mitigation" means compensatory mitigation or the compensation stage of the wetland mitigation sequence, where impacts to wetland functions are offset through the creation, restoration, en- hancement, or preservation of other wetlands.

Wetland mitigation. Complete an alternatives analysis to determine if there are any feasible alternatives to minimize impacts to wetlands. Coordinate with US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) for development of any alternative strategies. Potential alternatives include on-site wetland mitigation, wetland mitigation bank, and a combination thereof. Payments for banking fees or detailed design of mitigation areas are not included in the scope of this work.

Related to Wetland mitigation

  • Wetland or "wetlands" means areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from nonwetland sites, including, but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass-lined swales, canals, detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities, or those wetlands created after July 1, 1990, that were unintentionally created as a result of the construction of a road, street, or highway. Wetlands may include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from nonwetland areas created to mitigate conversion of wetlands.

  • Wetlands or “wetland” means an area that is inundated or saturated by surface water or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances does support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, commonly known as hydrophytic vegetation.
