Description:
Abstract:
St. Johns River Water Management District Mitigation Bank boundaries, digitized from aerial photography provided by the applicant during the permitting process.  Boundaries at this time are approximate and should not be interpreted as being definitive.
Purpose:
Depict the approximate property boundaries of the mitigation banks.
Supplemental_Information:
Mitigation banking is a process in which large areas of existing wetlands and/or uplands are restored and/or enhanced to mitigate, or offset, the loss of other wetlands or surface waters that are destroyed to make room for new homes, businesses, roads, utilities or other activities.  In rare instances, wetlands may also be created as part of a mitigation bank. 

Under Florida law, a mitigation bank is defined as a project undertaken to provide “credits” to offset adverse impacts to wetlands or other surface waters that occur as part of a permitted project.

In the St. Johns River Water Management District’s jurisdiction, mitigation banks are intended to be used to minimize the uncertainty associated with traditional mitigation practices and to provide greater assurance of mitigation success. Consolidating multiple mitigation projects into larger contiguous areas should provide greater assurance that the mitigation will yield long-term, sustainable, regional ecological benefits. Rather than altering the landscape to create wetlands, mitigation banks should emphasize restoration and enhancement of degraded ecosystems and the preservation of uplands and wetlands as intact ecosystems. This is best accomplished through restoration of ecological communities that were historically present. Mitigation banks are encouraged in or adjacent to areas of national, state, or regional ecological significance, provided that the area in which the mitigation bank is proposed is determined appropriate and the bank meets all applicable permitting criteria.

The features in this layer are subject to change as existing banks are remapped and as new banks are approved.

Data_Quality_Information:
Completeness_Report:
This layer contains banks that are permitted by SJRWMD. The Florida Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP) permits some banks that are located within the SJRWMD boundary, however these DEP banks are not included in this layer.

Source_Contribution:
Original source: Combination of a previously existing layer that was obtained from DEP and maps supplied by Michelle Reiber. Ongoing maintenance: Bank boundaries are mapped using digital orthophotos as a reference layer.

Process_Description:
The DEP Mitigation Bank layer was modified using maps supplied by Michelle Reiber and ERP and other data sources. The source of older (2005 and earlier) bank boundaries is unclear.
