Mitigation Banking
To successfully permit your project, you may need to implement environmental mitigation or other ecological restoration efforts to offset impacts to wetlands, wildlife or other resources. As consultants, we will advise you on the best path forward, including an analysis of your project to determine the types of impacts likely to be generated and appropriate mitigation to offset those impacts.
We have augmented our consulting services by committing our financial and human resources to mitigation bank development. In addition to standalone banks, we develop custom, turnkey mitigation banking solutions. When we engage with you as mitigation bankers and turnkey mitigation providers, we bring you cost-effective and efficient ways to mitigate your impacts — not typical permittee-responsible mitigation. Bank credits and turnkeys allow you to get the mitigation you need now at a competitive price, while transferring the ecological risk to us.
When you use preapproved wetland banking or conservation banking credits to offset permitted project effects, you typically save significant permit review time at a cost-competitive price.
Mitigation Banks
Mitigation banks offer several important advantages:
- Bank credits are preapproved by the agencies, providing upfront cost and permitting certainty.
- The purchase of bank credits absorbs your environmental liability, allowing you to focus on your core business instead of long-term compensatory mitigation compliance.
- Banks are large consolidated projects with significant cost advantages over smaller permittee-responsible mitigation projects, achieving greater economies of scale.
- When pre-approved mitigation bank credits are used to offset permitted project impacts, they typically save significant permit review time at a cost-competitive price.
Turnkey Projects & Custom Mitigation Solutions
Our team can deliver a custom mitigation solution tailored to your project needs. We may have land inventory to suit your specific needs right now.
We can also perform an idle asset analysis of land already in your portfolio to determine whether you already possess a property that could become a turnkey project or custom mitigation solution.
