Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) alters more wetlands and riparian areas and undertakes more compensatory mitigation than any other single entity in the state. In March 2002, the second of two reports on evaluation of mitigation sites and the mitigation program was published. The East Carolina University researchers who conducted the evaluation discussed significant weaknesses in NCDOT’s mitigation program and offered recommendations for restoration and improvement.
