You Can Bank on WSSI’s Success
Along with creating Virginia’s first wetland mitigation bank we also developed the mitigation bank that was the first to sell stream credits and the first mitigation bank dedicated solely for that purpose in Virginia. More recently, WSSI has developed mitigation banks that provide nutrient credits (through land conversion and/or stream restoration) to aid localities in meeting their nutrient reduction targets related to compliance with TMDLs or MS4 requirements.
We have a complete and thorough knowledge of the mitigation industry in the Commonwealth – our in-house mitigation banking program has kept us at the forefront of mitigation policy, and we have been an active stakeholder on state and federal policy committees for over 20 years.
There for You at Every Step
Our experience and regulatory involvement has given us a deep understanding of all facets of a successful mitigation project, from initial site selection through assessment, survey, design, and permitting through the Interagency Review Team (IRT) approval process.
Once approved, WSSI also provides the necessary services to get the project in the ground to obtain credit releases for our clients – including assistance through the bidding process, construction oversight, post-construction monitoring and maintenance, and management of credit sales. Bottom line – we provide complete, turn-key services to successfully and cost-effectively meet your mitigation and credit needs.
Benefits of Mitigation Banking
Providing mitigation credits through the development of a bank saves time and money; it expedites the permitting process and avoids the burden of monitoring and maintaining a project-specific compensation site. Want to learn more about the benefits of banks? Connect with one of our experts.
