The Environmental Protection Agency's Wetland Mitigation Policy:
On March 31, 2008, EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Corps) issued revised regulations governing compensatory mitigation for authorized impacts to wetlands, streams, and other waters of the U.S. under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. These regulations are designed to improve the effectiveness of compensatory mitigation to replace lost aquatic resource functions and area, expand public participation in compensatory mitigation decision making, and increase the efficiency and predictability of the mitigation project review process (www.epa.gov, 2009).
Wetland mitigation is a quality management process in the matter that it helps to restore the quality of crucial wetland ecosystems that have been displaced due to anthropogenic disturbance (i.e. industry, building, agriculture). This is a policy enforced by the U.S. government requiring and environmental impact research report to be filed prior to and post displacement of a wetland. This allows the general public to review the report and contest any excavation before it begins.
