It is requested that Council authorize the City Manager to purchase wetland and

streambank credits from the Georgia Land Conservation Center, or any other U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers approved mitigation bank in the Chattahoochee River

Hydrologic Unit, to mitigate for impacts associated with development of the

Muscogee Technology Park. The estimated financial impact for mitigation of

wetlands and streambank impacts, for the full developments of Muscogee

Technology Park, is approximately $3,000,000.00.



Per Resolution 385-10, dated October 26, 2010, Council authorized the City

Manager to purchase wetlands and streambank credits, in the amount of $941,180,

from the Upatoi Creek and Kolomoki Mitigation banks to meet the requirements of

the City's Section 404 permit for impacts at Muscogee Technology Park. On

occasion, the number of credits required to satisfactorily meet the 404 permit

requirements exceeds the combined available credits in both Upatoi and Kolomoki

banks. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has directed the City to purchase

credits through the Georgia Land Conservation Center or other approved bank in

the Chattahoochee River Hydrologic Unit, if available. Since the previous

purchase of credits, an additional bank, Bradley Farm, has become

operational. When additional credits are not available from approved banks,

the City will be required to purchase from the Georgia Land Conservation Center

through the "in-lieu-fee mitigation program".



Currently, 26.18 Wetland and 6,016.7 Stream credits are required to offset

impacts associated with the final construction phase of the Eastern Connector

roadway project through the Muscogee Technology Park. The quoted prices from

the banks are as follows:



Bradley Farms $233,917.60 Includes stream and wetland credits ($28 / stream credit /

$2500 / wetland credit)

Upatoi 265,216.05 Includes stream and wetland credits ($31.50 / stream credit and

$2,900 / wetland credit)

Kolomoki 222,617.90 Includes stream credits only ($37 / stream credit)





The City is required, by our Section 404 permit, to mitigate for all wetlands

and streambank impacts in Muscogee Technology Park. The limited availability

or credits from approved mitigation banks requires the City to purchase from

other approved sources or other approved banks as they become operational.

TO MITIGATE FOR IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH DEVELOPMENT OF THE MUSCOGEE TECHNOLOGY

PARK. THE ESTIMATED FINANCIAL IMPACT FOR MITIGATION OF WETLANDS AND STREAMBANK
