The National Environmental Banking Association (NEBA) is carefully tracking recently announced rollbacks to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) mitigation policy. This action stands to damage many in our industry while increasing project risk and uncertainty for all those seeking environmental permits.
This morning comes breaking news that the head of USFWS is stepping down after 14 months at the agency.
NEBA is carefully tracking the various proposals and actions under the Department of Interior (DOI) and will continue to support high-quality species and conservation banking as a solution to unavoidable impacts for the nation's fish and wildlife resources.
NEBA's Board of Directors is currently preparing a letter to the Department commenting on its current proposals as well as responding to the Department's recent actions.
