A team of experts in wetland ecology, wetland regulations, and mitigation banking developed the 156-page Wetland Mitigation Banking Guidebook.
 
The publication provides a comprehensive and detailed overview of mitigation banking from concept to reality.

Guidebook Content
 
The document begins with the purpose of mitigation banking as a form of compensatory mitigation and covers step-by-step the process for establishing a bank in Oregon.
 
It also discusses all of the operational details such as:
  • Establishing the bank service area
  • Determining mitigation credits
  • Environmental considerations such as endangered species and cultural resources
  • Developing ecological success criteria and a monitoring plan
  • Developing financial assurances.
