Wetland Replacement
Prior to approval of your replacement plan, and as part of your replacement plan, you will need to determine which method of replacement to pursue. If you receive approval of a replacement plan for your project you will need to replace the wetland impacts from your project. There are generally two methods used to accomplish wetland replacement; project specific or wetland banking. Project specific replacement means you will either create or restore a wetland large enough to offset the loss from your project. Wetland banking means you have the ability to purchase wetland bank credits to offset the loss from your project. Wetland bank credits are developed and sold by private individuals in an open market environment.
