The Flint River Mitigation Bank (FRMB) is a private, for profit, compensatory umbrella wetland and stream mitigation bank located in the State of Georgia and authorized by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE permit number 200501427). The FRMB is comprised of three mitigation sites that total approximately 840 acres in Fayette, Clayton and Spalding Counties. The FRMB provides stream and wetland mitigation credits used to offset jurisdictional impacts associated with USACE 404 permit authorizations, individual and nationwide permits, and enforcement actions for a selected service area. The FRMB is currently operational and approved to sell wetland and stream mitigation credits for projects in the Upper Flint River (primary service area) and Lower Chattahoochee River basins (secondary service area).
The FRMB is authorized under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act to allow applicants with a nationwide, regional, or individual permit (on a case-by-case basis) to purchase credits from the bank.
