2022 Mitigation Bank and In-Lieu Fee Program Review Workbooks and Checklists

The Mitigation Bank and In-Lieu Fee Program Review Workbooks and Checklists were developed from the materials of the National Training course for mitigation banking and in-lieu fee program interagency review teams and informed by a steering committee of federal and state regulators and representatives of mitigation bankers and in lieu fee programs. The workbooks provide many references and example practices discussed during the trainings and are organized according to the mitigation elements identified in the Mitigation Rule. Each mitigation element includes the relevant regulatory text, examples of how it is addressed from different District templates or instruments, and a series of questions to help IRT members adequately review all the relevant information needed to understand the proposal. The workbooks and checklists are technical resources to provide an organized structure for reviewing mitigation bank and ILF program proposals and ensuring that all aspects of the Mitigation Rule are considered.  Each workbook is accompanied by a checklist that takes the mitigation review elements from each workbook and puts them in a fillable document to help track the IRT members’ review progress and comments. Where the review elements are the same for mitigation banks and ILF programs the corresponding workbooks are the same.
