Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) is responsible for most of the activities undertaken to compensate for impacts to wetlands and streams. To help improve these efforts, the new Ecosystem Enhancement Program will absorb the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program and certain mitigation-related operations within the DOT. The new program aims to identify impacts to wetlands and streams very early in the roadway planning process.
