Im a civil engineer in Auburn and we have to set aside 2 sq. ft to not be touched for every 1 sq. ft. of disturbed wetland.


Sounds expensive!

Granted ours has to be on site. So it really only affects what we can squeeze on site. We try to avoid at all costs.

2:1 is actually pretty good these days. As for cost, in LA wetland mitigation runs from a low of $10,000 - $15,000 per acre to $40,000 or more per acre...cheap by some state standards. As others have said, the price is set in the marketplace...the more competition in a given watershed, the better. Feel free to negotiate and be sure to get bids from as many banks as possible.
