The proposed 566-acre mitigation site includes approximately 536 acres of wetlands. According to the Prospectus, the mitigation work plan is to preserve 42 acres of wetlands and to enhance 494 acres of wetlands by removing existing pine plantation and re-establishing native hardwood vegetative communities. Once the mitigation work is completed, the bank sponsor proposes to monitor the mitigation site to ensure that the restoration areas are developing as expected and meeting the necessary performance standards.
