Mitigation banks provide an efficient means for commercial, transportation, industrial development, and a myriad of other sectors to satisfy permitting requirements under the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) which ensures no net loss of stream and wetland habitat. The bank sponsor generates entitled mitigation credits by restoring and enhancing degraded stream and wetland habitats as prescribed under a US Army Corps of Engineers approved Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI).

As the restoration project unfolds and specific performance standards are met, mitigation credits are released for sale. The value proposition of the mitigation bank credits over other forms of mitigation is that it streamlines the permitting of development projects while also restoring degraded stream and wetland habitat within the same watershed or service area.

LandVest is offering the Appalachia Mitigation Bank Portfolio in a single-stage sealed bid process. Additional information regarding the offering and the bid process is housed in the project data room hosted by OneHub data services. The data room is now open. Bids are due by 1:00 pm EST on April 22, 2025.
