Selecting Wetland Mitigation Sites Using a Watershed Approach
The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Seattle District (Corps), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 (EPA) (collectively the Agencies) prepared this guide on selecting mitigation sites for unavoidable wetland impacts. The Agencies encourage state, federal, and local decision-makers, as well as project applicants, to use this guide as one step in the process of making decisions on compensatory mitigation projects. The goals of this guide are to improve mitigation success and to better address the ecological priorities of Washington's watersheds. We provide specific recommendations on how to apply a watershed approach when selecting sites and in choosing between on-site and off-site mitigation in western Washington. A similar guide is planned for eastern Washington.
