Webinar Recording: The Time it Takes for Restoration

On April 3, 2023, EPIC co-hosted a webinar on “The Time It Takes for Restoration: New Research on Mitigation Banking Timelines.” On that webinar, we shared highlights from the research, heard reactions from panelists and their ideas for next steps, and concluded with an open Q&A. A big thanks to our webinar speakers: Sara Johnson, ERBA; Becca Madsen, EPIC; Steve Martin, Independent Consultant; Rebecca Kihslinger, ELI; Tom Walker, USACE; Brian Topping, EPA; Greg DeYoung, Westervelt.

Some of the resources mentioned in the webinar included:

• EPIC’s 2023 report The Time It Takes for Restoration: New Research on Mitigation Banking Timelines

• ERBA’s 2022 recommendations for a Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) on mitigation delivery

• EPA’s 2022 Mitigation Bank and In-Lieu Fee Program Review Workbooks and Checklists

• ELI’s 2019 report Improving Compensatory Mitigation Project Review | Environmental Law Institute
