| 00-28516 | Federal Guidance on the Use of In-Lieu-Fee Arrangements for Compensatory Mitigation Under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act | Notice | The Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are issuing final policy guidance regarding the use of in-lieu-fee arrangements for the purpose of providing compensation for adverse impacts to wetlands and other aquatic resources. Compensatory mitigation projects are designed to replace aquatic resource functions and values that are adversely impacted under the Clean Water Act Section 404 and Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 regulatory programs. These mitigation objectives are stated in regulation, the 1990 Memorandum of Agreement on mitigation between Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of the Army, the November 28, 1995, Federal Guidance on the Establishment, Use and Operation of Mitigation Banks ("Banking Guidance"), and other relevant policy. The advent of in-lieu-fee approaches to mitigation has highlighted the importance of several fundamental objectives that the agencies established for determining what constitutes appropriate compensatory mitigation. The purpose of this memorandum is to clarify the manner in which in-lieu-fee mitigation may serve as an effective and useful approach to satisfy compensatory mitigation requirements and meet the Administration's goal of no overall net loss of wetlands. This in-lieu-fee guidance elaborates on the discussion of in-lieu-fee mitigation arrangements in the Banking Guidance by outlining the circumstances where in-lieu-fee mitigation may be used, consistent with existing regulations and policy. | 2000-11-07 | 2000 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/11/07/00-28516/federal-guidance-on-the-use-of-in-lieu-fee-arrangements-for-compensatory-mitigation-under-section | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-11-07/pdf/00-28516.pdf | Defense Department; Engineers Corps; Environmental Protection Agency; Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service; Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 103,142,145,253,197,54,361 | The Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) are issuing final policy guidance regarding the use of in-lieu-fee arrangements for the purpose of... |
