For Permittees

The Purchase Process

Image by Tyler Butler
Feasibility

The client provides Mitigation Marketing with the project location, and we match them with a site that can service their project’s needs.

Information

The client fills out the attached checklist with as much information as they have available on their project it and sends it back to us.

Purchase Documents

We provide the client with a purchase agreement and deposit invoice.

Reservation Confirmation

After the client has returned the signed agreement and provided the deposit payment, we send the client/ their consultant a reservation letter. This letter is to be provided to the necessary agencies as confirmation that the permittee has fulfilled their duty in reserving mitigation for their project. The letter states that the required amount of mitigation has been reserved for the project in question.  

Final Balance

The remaining balance will be due upon permit issuance OR within the agreed upon period stated in the signed agreement (in most cases this is between 60-120 days depending on the type of mitigation being purchased).

Transfer

Once the final balance payment is received and the permit has been issued, we facilitate the transfer process and provide confirmation completion.

  • SAVE TIME
    A developer using a mitigation bank will have reduced permitting time. The permitting practice is a more streamlined process since mitigation banks are already constructed and functioning. These banks are approved by local, state, and federal agencies adding to the quick permit turnaround.
  • SAVE MONEY
    Wetland impacts must be offset by property onsite or often by purchasing additional land to construct functioning mitigation on. The cost increases with the additional burden of permitting, construction, monitoring, and maintenance activities. Mitigation through a bank requires a one time fee for the mitigation credits and the additional burden and hidden costs are avoided.
  • AVOID RISK
    The developer that implements its own mitigation often finds its mitigation failing and must spend unexpected money to restore the wetland. The purchase of credits from a mitigation bank legally transfers all risk to the mitigation banker. Credits are only released to the banker once success criteria have been met on the bank to avoid failed mitigation.
  • MAXIMIZE SPACE
    On site mitigation often becomes a burden on development sites, causing a development to be planned around the mitigation. Buying credits from a mitigation bank allows the developer to maximize his usable land and put that space to its highest and best use.
  • ECONOMIES OF SCALE
    Establishment of a mitigation bank brings together financial resources, biological, planning and scientific expertise. Consolidating these resources increase the potential for long-term successful mitigation that maximizes contribution to the environment.
  • INTEGRITY
    A large scale mitigation bank project has the opportunity to maintain the integrity of the aquatic ecosystem. The complexity of a wetland is difficult to encompass in a small development project. The larger mitigation bank has a better chance of encompassing all necessary biological functions.
