The Corps issued a Mitigation Banking Instrument (“MBI”) for the project on January 17, 1997 and was awarded 682 potential credits.
The land within the bank is generally sloped from approximately 3.0 feet NGVD in the interior of the island (pine flatwoods) down to sea level. There is variation in microtopography throughout the bank and several hills and valleys exist within the bank site, resulting in a variety of native community types, including mesic pine flatwoods, wet flatwoods, freshwater/brackish marsh, salt marsh, and mangroves. Project is currently one phase (initially 7). Credits are derived from removal of invasive exotic vegetation and hydrologic restoration. The mitigation involved backfilling and plugging mosquito ditches, removal of invasive exotic vegetation, and implementation of a long-term management plan.
The project can be used to mitigate for unavoidable wetland impacts in portions of Collier, Lee, Sarasota, and Charlotte County. LPI is the sole source for saltwater credits in this region. The federal credit map varies slightly with the State map. Please call the point of contact for a precise description of the service areas.
