Riparian Habitat Mitigation Plans (RHMP) aim to protect and restore riparian ecosystems, which are vital for maintaining water quality, biodiversity, and habitat for wildlife.
Many jurisdictions have ordinances that protect riparian habitat.
Site planning plays a big role in limiting impacts to riparian habitat.
Impacts of development to riparian habitat can be mitigated through on-site planning of existing vegetation or through an “in-lieu” fee if the jurisdiction of the site offers the option.
These plans are informed by on the ground field work and in-person observations made by NE, Inc. field crew.
