A recent whitepaper, co-authored by Trout Headwaters CEO Michael Sprague, highlights recommendations provided to government officials and agencies for improving implementation of the 2008 Mitigation Rule for compensatory mitigation.
These suggestions follow a careful study of data provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency relating to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
The National Environmental Banking Association (NEBA), where Sprague currently serves on the Board of Directors, considers these improvements vital for the continued development of high-quality mitigation banking required for the offset of unavoidable impacts to our Nation’s waterways.
