banking is increasingly the favored approach to mitigation for
impacts to wetlands and streams. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers recently released

of compensation, in a watershed based approach. Increasingly,
under the new rules, use of “in lieu fee” programs and on site
mitigation will be discouraged, in favor of mitigation banking.
