If purchasing credits, ILF or PIL, select "credit purchase." Minimum requirements for preservation and non-wetland waters are case-by-case, as determined by the Department.
MINIMUM MITIGATION REQUIREMENT (acres of mitigation required per acre of impact)
Specific function and value replacement (increase factor)

Select "Not applicable" if the mitigation site is approved/seeking approval as an exception to an in-kind replacement under a watershed priority approach, if purchasing legacy credits, or best professional judgement was used to assess function and values.

Soil adjustment factors are not applicable to credit purchases or approval of historic fill. Vegetation and soil adjustments may not apply when the mitigation method is preservation.
High level of function replacement (decrease factor)
Does the CM site exceed at least 80% of the specific functions being lost at the impact site? Compare OWRAP function ratings between the impact site and the mitigation site (predicted scores) to determine this. Select an option from drop-down list.

"Exceed" means replaced beyond an overlapping rating break proximity. Select "Not applicable" if the mitigation site is approved/seeking approval as an exception to an in-kind replacement under a watershed priority approach, if purchasing legacy credits, or best professional judgement was used to assess functions and values.
