•There are 7 active mitigation banks in Wisconsin and 4 banks in the proposal phase.
Our goals for the wetland compensatory mitigation program in 2011 and 2012 are to:
•Develop methods to work closely with other states and federal mitigation agencies to increase communication,
decrease the overall application time, and provide clearer understanding of mitigation decisions and reporting/tracking processes.
•Provide guidance and training for Department and partner organization staff on the compensatory mitigation process and how to make program delivery consistent statewide.
•Compare and standardize functional assessment tolls used in site evaluation.
•Continue to oversee Wisconsin's Wetland Compensatory Mitigation Program, develop methods for making the program delivery more efficient, and provide training and dialog with applicants.
Overall, we find that voluntary mitigation is working and we are satisfied that it is a positive element in the regulatory decision-making process. In the next two years, we will continue to maintain an efficient application process while working with collaborators to make the decision making process clearer and more efficient.
Sincerely,
cathy stepp
