re: Wetland Mitigation Questions

Avoiding the need to mitigate is the winning answer. Statewide, assuming at least a 3:1 mitigation ratio (likely higher through NOD) and an average mitigation rate running $20,000, you are looking at something like $60,000 to compensate for one acre.

Second issue, although COE or other regulatory agencies might not find out, you can rest assured that they care!
