The bill amends several statutes related to wetland mitigation by introducing definitions and revising the guidelines for using mitigation credits in relation to project locations.

  • 373.403

    “Proximity factor” means the variable measurement used to determine the amount of wetland mitigation credits required based on the location of the project site relative to the wetland mitigation bank and its significance within the basin.

    This addition defines the term 'proximity factor' for determining mitigation credits based on project location.

    are shall be → are

    This change corrects grammatical structure for clarity in the eligibility of projects using mitigation banks.

  • 373.4136

    If mitigation credits are not available within a project area basin, the department or water management district must allow the use of any mitigation credits available within a mitigation bank in a surrounding basin.

    This amendment permits the use of mitigation credits from surrounding basins if credits are unavailable in the project's basin.

  • 373.4136

    The department and water management district must use a proximity factor to determine how many additional credits may be required for a project using mitigation credits from outside the project area basin.

    This requires consideration of the proximity factor in calculating additional mitigation credits needed when using credits from outside the project area.
