Credit Availability Status:
The current cost of mitigation at the Hole in the Donut is $78,000 per 1 UMAM credit.
Currently, the HID does not have credits available to meet your mitigation requirements. We are working to have additional credits released to the HID project. At this time, we do not have a date identified for the next credit release lottery.
Each credit release lottery conducted by the HID is equally open to all permittees who need wetland mitigation credits. The credit release lottery process is random, free of bias or preference, and with no exclusion, stratification, prioritization or ranking of projects based on the number of credits a project requires, based on whether a project has previously satisfied a portion of its credit requirements, or based on who is submitting the applications.
