Modify Table 1, Mitigation Replacement Schedule, as follows: <br /> Table 1 <br /> MITIGATION REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE <br /> COMPENSATION RATIOS (1) <br /> MITIGATION METHOD Advance Concurrent Post <br /> Mitigation (3) Mitigation (4) Mitigation (s) <br /> Restoration (a) - 1.0:1 / 1.5:1 - 2.0:1 <br /> Creation 1.5:1 2.0:1 2.5:1 <br /> Enhancement 2.5:1 3.0:1 3.5:1 <br /> Notes: <br /> (1) The ratios presented above describe the amount of mitigation acres required for each acre of <br /> wetland impact. For example, 2.0:1 means two mitigation acres for one impact acre. <br /> (2) Restoration is the preferred mitigation method for the West Eugene Wetlands program. To <br /> encourage restoration activities, restoration is given the lowest compensation ratio of the three <br /> mitigation methods. <br /> (3) Advance mitigation means mitigation activities occur in advance of wetland impacts. It is the <br /> preferred timeframe for performing mitigation activities, and it is given the lowest compensation <br /> ratio of the three timeframes. Advance mitigation occurs when wetland hydrology and vegetation <br /> has been established. Through a Memorandum of Agreement with federal and state regulatory • <br /> agencies, the Mitigation Bank program will provide a standardized system of "credits" that can <br /> be created, verified, exchanged and documented. <br /> (4) Concurrent mitigation means mitigation activities are performed concurrent with associated <br /> wetland impacts. <br /> • (5) Post mitigation means mitigation activities are performed subsequent to associated wetland <br /> • <br /> impacts. This concept allows for the issuance of wetland impact permits for small wetland <br /> impact sites - usually 1 acre in size or less. Mitigation activities for these small projects are <br /> postponed (usually for 1 year) and accumulated so that one large, joint mitigation project can <br /> occur resulting in greater wetland gains than if they had been mitigated individually. <br /> 3 Modify Policy 4.20 to read: <br /> "Adept the protection and development criteria contained in Appendix B; as the <br /> M • basis for the- evaluating and classifying wetlands ' <br /> \C b .•_ .. ..: - - -... - - - - • - .. . - .. for <br /> future fill areas. <br /> 10.
