New Pending Mitigation Bank in Georgia – Savannah District

Posted on October 21, 2024October 21, 2024 by JoAnn Hill

Hart Mitigation Bank is located southeast of Statesboro, Georgia, in Bulloch County

Bulloch County is growing at a faster rate than other counties in the coastal Georgia region, and faster than the state of Georgia as a whole.

The projected population of Bulloch County is anticipated to be between 105,000 and 135,000 people by 2045.

The anticipated future development in Bulloch County makes the successful operation of HMB ever more important to preserve the unique combination of ecosystems it contains, as well as to enhance degraded systems in an area with substantial ecological uplift potential.

Historical and existing wetlands at the HMB would be considered riverine, wet pine flats, and forested slope wetlands, according to the HGM classification system.

Credit Release Announcement – Spellbottom Mitigation Bank, located in Walker County, Texas, has received a credit release on July 30, 2021.

Check out the 4 types of environmental offset for wetlands.

Posted on July 8, 2021August 1, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

Check out the four types of wetland environmental offsets/impacts. Not all ecological restoration methods serve the same purpose; or are created in quite the same way. All development is tailored to that particular site’s ecosystem.

Did you know? – Long term drought

Posted on June 21, 2021August 1, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

Long-term drought compromises trees, reducing their resistance to various insects and diseases. Lack of adequate soil moisture can cause trees, specifically hardwoods, such as oaks to “shut down” or go dormant early in an effort to conserve water uptake and movement of nutrients.

Texas Eminent Domain

Water Pollution

Posted on June 15, 2021August 1, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

During the 20th century, water pollution became a real threat to general welfare and domestic tranquility for U.S. citizens. To address this threat, Congress, acting on the will of the people, enacted legislation that now functions through federally promulgated rules and regulations to conserve our country’s waters that are so vital to our well-being. This legislation prevents destruction of the nation’s waters–protecting an essential necessity of life itself and retaining the value of a vital component of the national economy.

Hurricane Season

Posted on June 14, 2021August 1, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

Permittee Responsible Mitigation

Posted on May 26, 2021May 20, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

For areas outside an approved mitigation bank service area, permittee-responsible mitigation is undertaken to provide compensatory mitigation. Just like a mitigation bank, PRM success requires resource restoration, establishment, enhancement and/or preservation. MSUSA has a number of PRM-ready mitigation sites in Arkansas, Oklahoma and along the Texas Coast to offset impacts associated with your project.

How is a site selected for the creation of a mitigation bank?

Posted on May 24, 2021May 20, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

While there are a number of criteria for a bank, the main consideration is the ecological suitability for a site to achieve the desired aquatic resources and function. www.msusa.com @MitigationUSA

What is the state of our environment and climate?

Posted on May 20, 2021May 20, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

All restoration projects are different.

Posted on May 19, 2021May 20, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

All restoration projects have different approaches and processes, but the final goals are centered around: revegetation, habitat enhancement, remediation, and mitigation. www.msusa.com

What does mitigation banking actually mean?

Posted on May 13, 2021May 20, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

Mitigation banking is the restoration, preservation, creation or enhancement of wetlands and streams for the purpose of compensation for future unavoidable resource impacts. #msusa #mitigationusa www.msusa.com

Why is ecological restoration good for the nations waters?

Posted on May 11, 2021May 19, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

Ecological restoration maintains and restores the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the nations waters. Mitigation banking is an effective way to achieve this mission. #wetlands #ecology #msusa #mitigationusa www.msusa.com

Do all ecological restoration methods serve the same purpose?

Posted on May 7, 2021May 12, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

Not all ecological restoration methods serve the same purpose–or are created in the same way. All development is tailored to the landscape’s unique ecosystem. #msusa #mitigationusa www.msusa.com

May is American Wetlands Month…

Posted on May 1, 2021May 12, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

American Wetlands Month is a time when the EPA and our partner federal, state, tribal, local, non-profit, and private sector organizations celebrate the vital importance of wetlands to our Nation’s ecological, economic, and social health. Wetlands help improve water quality and supply, reduce flooding and provide critical habitat for plants, fish, and wildlife. #msusa #mitigationusa #wetlands Mitigation Solutions USA www.msusa.com

Did you know?

Posted on April 30, 2021May 12, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

Did you know that for every acre of wetland impacted by a development project, 1.5X the ecological value is created? And that means improved water quality, better flood control and more ecological productivity protected in perpetuity. #msusa #mitigationusa #wetlands www.msusa.com

What are Streams?

Posted on April 28, 2021April 28, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

A stream is a body of water with surface water flowing within the bed and banks of a channel. The flow of a stream is controlled by three inputs – surface water, subsurface water, and groundwater. The surface and subsurface water are highly variable between periods of rainfall.

What is a mitigation bank?

Posted on April 23, 2021May 12, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

What is a Mitigation Bank? A mitigation bank is privately or publicly owned land managed for its natural resource values. In exchange for permanently protecting the land, the bank operator is allowed to sell credits to developers who need to satisfy permitting requirements for compensating environmental impacts of development projects. www.msusa.com #msusa #mitigationusa

World Wetlands Day – February 2

Posted on February 2, 2021February 25, 2021 by JoAnn Hill

Wetlands are land areas that are saturated or flooded with water either permanently or seasonally. Inland wetlands include marshes, ponds, lakes, fens, rivers, floodplains, and swamps. Coastal wetlands include saltwater marshes, estuaries, mangroves, lagoons and even coral reefs.
