Abstract

I n 2018, the Norfolk District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), in their roles as co-chairs of Virginia’s Interagency Review Team (IRT), proposed modifications to the Virginia Mitigation Banking Instrument (MBI) Template (Template). The Template is a document used to establish compensatory wetland and stream mitigation banks in the state, serving as a planning-level tool with minimum standards and design criteria for that purpose. Prospective mitigation banks are approved via IRT ratification of an acceptable MBI, which provides the necessary documentation for the “…establishment, use, operation, and management…” of mitigation banks in Virginia.
