Performance Standards Review
In accordance with the National Wetlands Mitigation Action
Plan signed
in December of 2002 by the Environmental Protection Agency, Department
of Defense, Department of Commerce, Department of the Interior, Department
of Agriculture, and Department of Transportation, the Federal Interagency
Mitigation Workgroup (FIMW) commissioned the preparation of a technical
resource document to assist with the development of mitigation site
performance standards entitled: Measuring Mitigation: A Review of the
Science for Compensatory Mitigation Performance Standards (Performance
Standards Review). The Performance Standards Review summarizes the status
of peer-reviewed literature on selected biological indicators, abiotic
factors, functional assessments, and developmental trajectories to help
evaluate the success of compensatory mitigation for authorized impacts
to wetlands and other aquatic resources under Clean Water Act Section
404.
