| Description: | The Washington State Wetland Mitigation Evaluation Study was developed in two phases to evaluate the success of projects intended to compensate (mitigate) for wetlands lost to development activities in the state of Washington. Phase 1 of the study, conducted in the fall of 1999, examined the compliance of 45 randomly selected projects with their permit requirements. Phase 2 examined the ecological success of a subset of the projects from Phase 1. The study did not include any Washington State Department of Transportation mitigation projects. Over all, 24 compensatory wetland-mitigation projects (at 31 sites) were evaluated in Phase 2. Eighteen projects were located west of the Cascade Mountains, and six projects were located east of the Cascade crest. The goal of Phase 2 of the Wetland Mitigation Evaluation Study was to determine the success of wetland mitigation projects from an ecological perspective. |
