About Mitigation

Mitigation refers to an activity or activities carried out to compensate for impacts to freshwater wetlands, State open waters or coastal wetlands disturbance caused by regulated activities. Wetland mitigation is currently required under the Freshwater Wetland Protection Act for some general permits and when an applicant receives an individual permit. Under the Coastal Zone Management rules, mitigation is required for all coastal wetland impacts.

Mitigation for wetlands may take the following forms: creation, restoration, enhancement, mitigation bank credit purchase, monetary contribution, preservation, or a land donation. Please see the “Mitigation Options” tab for more information.

Mitigation (also known as compensation) is also required for some impacts to riparian zones under the Flood Hazard Area Control Act rules.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content”][vc_column][vc_separator border_width=”2″][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
