Public Notice          Mitigation Banking Instruments

The applicant is proposing to establish and operation of Coastal Bend Wetland Mitigation Bank (CBWMB).  The goal of the CBWMB is to restore degraded wetlands, enhance existing wetland habitats, establish new wetlands, and protect tidal marsh and coastal tidal fringe wetland habitats throughout the Bank property to satisfy the needs of the watershed.  The proposed mitigation bank will be used for compensatory mitigation for unavoidable impacts to waters of the United States, including wetlands, that result from activities authorized under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, provided such activities have met all applicable requirements and are authorized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).  CBWMB will comply with 33 CFR Part 332 if they are to be used to provide compensatory mitigation for Department of the Army (DA) permits.

CBWMB proposes to enhance a total of 25.51 acres of existing high marsh wetlands, enhance a total of 14.85 acres of existing low marsh, and establish a total of 22.43 acres of adjacent wetland on the 115.77-acre property.  The enhancement and establishment will be separated into two phases:  Phase I- establish 13.00 acres of high marsh tidal fringe wetlands; enhance 3.35 acres of low marsh tidal fringe wetlands; and enhance  5.95 acres of high marsh tidal fringe wetlands.  Phase II- will consist of establishing 9.43 acres of high marsh tidal fringe wetlands; enhancing 11.50 acres of low marsh tidal fringe wetlands; and enhancing 19.56 acres of high marsh tidal fringe wetlands.
