Mitigation Banks & Sites
Wetland and stream mitigation banking is becoming an increasingly common means of satisfying the compensatory mitigation requirements of Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act. By September 2007, there were at least 41 approved and operating mitigation banks in the State of Georgia, and over 70 additional banks had been proposed (at least conceptually) to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineeers.
As part of the initial phase of the mitigation banking process, Nutter & Associates conducts a detailed feasibility assessment comparing the site potential for wetland and stream creation, restoration, enhancement, and/or preservation with the opportunity to market mitigation credits in the bank's service area.

Nutter & Associates is pleased to announce the availability of an outstanding project-specific stream mitigation site in the Upper Flint River basin located in west Georgia (HUC 0313005). This 137 acre site in Meriwether County is capable of producing up to 33,000 stream credits in the Upper Flint Service Area stretching from Cobb County to Macon County and from the Georgia/Alabama border east to middle Clayton, Lamar and Crawford counties.
This Upper Flint River mitigation site has been reviewed by the State and Federal Interagency Review Team. A conceptual restoration plan has been compiled based on extensive on-site surveys.
