Information
Department Action
Construction of the improvements to Frontier Parkway from DNT to Preston Rd will impact wetland areas regulated by the United States Army Corp of Engineers (USACE).  As such, we will be required to mitigate the impact to those areas.
 
The most efficient and cost effective manner of mitigating impacts to USACE jurisdictional wetlands is by purchase of off-site wetland mitigation credits.
 
The attached agreement provides for the purchase of 24 credits from Mills Branch LLC.  They manage the Mills Bank Mitigation Bank established under USACE Permit Number SWF-2017-00422.  The cost to the County for purchase of these credits is $33,600.
 
The Engineering Department requests Commissioners Courts approval and Judge Hill’s execution of the attached Mitigation Credit Sales Agreement.  If approved, authorization of a budget adjustment to move funds to the appropriate account within the Frontier project and authorization to purchase these credits out of that account. The budget adjustment totals $33,600.
