Bill > H4276

This bill establishes a cranberry wetland mitigation banking pilot program in Massachusetts. The program allows for the use of approved cranberry bog lands for off-site wetland mitigation, which can be used by public and private projects to comply with the Wetlands Protection Act. The bill outlines the requirements for approving bog lands as mitigation sites, the establishment of mitigation banks and bank agents, and the administration and reporting of the program by the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs. The program is set to expire in 5 years, except for the annual reporting requirement which will end the following March.
