摘要

This paper provides general information on wetlands regulations and the mitigation banking concept as may apply to surface mining activities. Wetland mitigation banking, while not a new concept in certain regions, is relatively new on a national basis and has only recently been accepted by the wetland regulatory and resource agencies as a viable means of addressing wetland impacts and mitigation through the Clean Water Act, Section 404 permit program. Surface mining activities under jurisdiction of the federal Office of Surface Mining (OSM) may be authorized by Corps of Engineers (COE) Nationwide Permit No. 21, or may require an individual permit. An OSM approved mitigation plan to offset wetland impacts is now required under the newly revised Nationwide Permit No. 21 (effective February 11, 1997). It is now an almost given assumption that mitigation of at least a 1:1 ratio for wetland losses will be required for the majority of COE permit actions. A mitigation bank is designed to pre-establish wetland credits that can be drawn upon over time, much like an escrow account at a financial institution. The planning, design and implementation of a mitigation bank may require several years to achieve. It, therefore, needs to be looked at as a long-term planning solution to wetland issues rather than a quick fix to immediate situations.
