Delta Mitigation Bank Provides Mississippi with Wetland Credits

The Wetlandsbank Group (TWG) is pleased to announce its venture with Delta Mitigation Bank. Delta Mitigation Bank is a 500 acre wetland bank located 2.5 miles South of Tippo, Mississippi in Tallahatchie County. The Bank lies within the Lower Mississippi River Valley in a broad, level, rural area which is dominated by crop production (primarily cotton and soybeans) and scattered tracts of bottomland woodlands, streams and sloughs. The Tallahatchie National Wildlife Refuge is located approximately 10 miles north of this bank.

The service area of the bank is the Yazoo Basin, the largest in Mississippi, and the North Independent Streams Basin. The Yazoo Basin occupies much of the floodplains east of the Mississippi River in the northwest portion of the state. It is important to note however that the service area comprises much of north and northeast Mississippi in land which is not generally referred to as the ‘Delta’.

The Counties within the service area include: Desoto, Tunica, Marshall, Benton, Tippah, Alcorn, Prentiss, Union, Pontotoc, Calhoun, Lafayette, Panola, Coahoma, Quitman, Tallahatchie, Grenada, Tate, Bolivar, Sunflower, Carroll, Holmes, Yazoo, Sharkey, Issaquena, Washington, Humphreys, Leflore, and parts of Chickasaw.

TWG has partnered with the founders of Delta in a strategic expansion opportunity to expand into Mississippi. As one of the leading mitigation bankers in the country, the TWG team significantly increases the probability of a fast, hassle-free mitigation transfer procedure with less cost and “red tape.” Permit applicants with projects that have wetland impacts have the opportunity to embrace the advantages of purchasing credits from our bank. By transferring their project’s mitigation obligations to Delta Mitigation Bank clients benefit by:

Being provided one fixed predetermined fee with no cost overruns.

The prevention of assets being tied up.

Optimizing the full potential of the proposed site.

Reducing permitting time.

Providing regulatory certainty with no hidden surprises.

Streamlining the development process.

Enhancing project value.

Working with a team who understands your concerns.
