MITIGATION BANKING
Wetland Mitigation Banking provides large-scale restoration, enhancement and preservation opportunities with the greatest likelihood of success. Unavoidable, permitted impacts requiring off-site mitigation solutions are directed by the Federal Mitigation Rule to use mitigation bank credits if an established bank is accessible.

Ross Creek has significant restoration and mitigation potential…
Ross Creek at low tide
Ross Creek is a prime mitigation site as the freshwater system has historic impacts due to past resource extraction and development. In the near future WMP plans to restore the Ross Creek estuary, moving the buildings and fill on the site to let the creek assume its former footprint, enlarging and enhancing habitat for dozens of species.
SITE SPECIFIC & ADVANCED COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
When a mitigation solution requires site-specific options, or consolidated mitigation for future impacts, WMP can create and develop an ecologically and economically preferred solution.

Estuaries are not only beautiful
but they are critical natural habitats that support thousands of species of birds, mammals, fish and other wildlife. Migrating birds and fish depend on estuaries as they spawn and we are dedicated to restoring the natural functions of some of Kitsap’s vital estuarine habitats.
