Q

Wetland banking

A

a process of tracking wetland and upland buffer credits that are designated for replacement of future wetland losses. These wetland credits may result from a prior replacement project with excess credits earmarked for banking, or from a wetland creation/restoration project done solely for the purpose of establishing wetland credits in the State Wetland Bank.
