PORTLAND, Ore—The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Oregon Department of State Lands are considering a proposal to establish a wetland mitigation bank north of Lebanon, Ore.
The bank sponsors, Al Sullivan and R.P. Novitzki, propose this mitigation bank as a means to meet the requirements for compensatory wetland mitigation for as-yet unknown wetland losses associated with future projects.
The sponsors propose developing a 123 acre wetland mitigation bank. The site includes the North and South Santiam watershed, part of the Calapooia watershed, the Mary’s River and Luckiamute watersheds on the west side of the Willamette River. The mitigation efforts will involve converting the site to a combination of wet prairie, shrub and forested wetlands.
Written comments must be received by Aug. 26, 2005, and should be addressed to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, ATTN: CENWP-OP-G (Corrie Veenstra), P.O. Box 2946, Portland Oregon, 97208-2946.
A copy of the proposed mitigation bank is posted on the Corps’ Internet site at https://www.nwp.usace.army.mil/op/g/docs/notices/
