Reducing the cost of infrastructure projects by linking state conservation investments with mitigation requirements.

Summary

  • Expands compensatory mitigation to include not only wetlands and uplands, but also other resources.
  • Authorizes environmentally designated land to be used as compensatory mitigation for public infrastructure projects by state agencies and local governments if the environmentally designated land has similar environmental benefits, and it was paid for in full or part by direct or indirect public funds.
  • Requires that environmentally designated land be used only once for compensatory mitigation unless the land is enhanced or restored.
