Mitigation Database: Tracking Mitigation Activities in the Section 404 Permitting Program

Abstract

This report presents a recommended list of variables for development of a mitigation database by US Army Corps of Engineers (CE) Regulatory offices. Uses of the database include periodic review of CE Regulatory program mitigation efforts, evaluation of trends in permitted wetland activities, and preparation of responses to public or agency inquiries. Depending upon the level of implementation chosen, the mitigation database contains information on wetland types and acreages impacted, restored, or created; the spatial distribution of projects; effects of the permit review process in lessening potential impacts; wetland functions and values considered in permit decisions; mitigation goals; and restoration or compensation methods.
