Environmental Banc & Exchange

Mitigation Bank and Land Investments

EBX is a leader in the area of mitigation banking. We have extensive, long-term experience with the development, permitting, operation and funding of mitigation projects and banks. EBX and its local affiliates provide all of the services necessary for a successful project: site assessment and selection, preparation and implementation of the mitigation plan, maintenance and monitoring of the Bank site, and credit sales and administration.

EBX may engage in environmental resource banking by creating an environmental bank on land owned or leased by EBX or on which EBX has retained an easement. EBX also may be engaged to provide environmental resource banking services to clients on a fee basis.

Mitigation policies were clarified by a Memorandum of Agreement [MOA], signed in 1990 between the EPA and the Corps of Engineers. In general, the policy has evolved to recognize an approved wetland bank as an acceptable and often preferable mitigation option, provided the wetland bank service area includes the actual wetland impact.
