Mitigation
Mitigation is an important part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ permitting process. It includes avoiding, minimizing and compensating for impacts to aquatic resources.
If your project cannot avoid or sufficiently minimize affects to wetlands or other waters of the United States, you must compensate for the impacts. This is called compensatory mitigation and is the restoration, establishment, enhancement or preservation of aquatic resources to offset unavoidable losses due to project impacts.
The Mitigation Rule
Mitigation requirements are outlined in Compensatory Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic Resources Final Rule (33 CFR Part 332), commonly referred to as the “mitigation rule.” The mitigation rule promotes consistency and predictability and improves ecological success of mitigation efforts through better site selection, use of a watershed approach for planning and project design, and use of ecological success criteria to evaluate and measure performance of mitigation projects.
