USACE mitigation bankingMississippi Valley Division

How long the MVD division's districts take to approve a mitigation bank, what credit supply they oversee, and how the districts differ from one another. The clock that matters is the regulator's own — everything else includes time the applicant spends revising.

The read

A bank clears the regulator here in about 9 months — and takes roughly 1.7 years end to end.

Measured against the national median, the regulator clock sits level with it (0.95×) and the full clock runs 0.88× it — faster than the country. Districts diverge sharply enough that the division median is a starting point, not a forecast for any one office — St. Paul closes in 271 days, Memphis in 315.

Relocate 4,550 ft of Henderson Creek channel for irrigationmore

The applicant is requesting a DA permit to fill and relocate approximately 4,550 linear feet of an old channel of Henderson Creek to improve irrigation efficiency at the project site. A new channel that will total approximately 5,400 linear feet would be created on-site to replace the existing tributary. Fill for the existing tributary will come from the excavation of the new channel and surrounding crop field. The existing channel has a riparian buffer that consists of trees, shrubs, and grasses that at the narrowest point extends 30 feet from the channel and at the widest point extends over 150 feet from the channel.

Time extension/use change: apartments replacing commercial, 1.83 ac wetland impactmore

The applicant requests a time extension and change in use authorization to construct four apartment complexes, detention pond, parking areas, walking paths, and green spaces, instead of an originally proposed commercial area. An original permit was authorized on 11 April 2027 for the construction of an apartment complex and areas for commercial development. This new application proposes a change in use from the commercial development at the north of the property to residential development. Additionally, two commercial developments that were authorized, but not built within the original permits time frame, are being proposed with this new application as a time extension. All proposed impacts in the new application were mitigated for in the original authorization, and no new impacts are proposed. The proposed activity change from commercial to residential development would impact approximately 1.83 acres of wetlands previously mitigated for and authorized for fill.

Drain tile removal to restore wetland and prairie hydrology, Minnesotamore

The purpose of this project is to restore the area's natural hydrology and native plant communities. The restoration will involve disabling the existing subsurface drainage systems to re-establish historical wetland conditions. The goal is to create a diverse habitat consisting of fresh wet meadow, shallow marsh, deep marsh, and native upland prairie and forest. This will improve water quality, increase habitat connectivity, and restore the site's ability to retain water. The project is sponsored by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) in partnership with the landowner, Tim Donelan.

About the data on this page

Bank details, status and credit balances are mirrored from the USACE RIBITS registry, the federal public record for mitigation banks. Single-client banks are excluded from supply figures. Credit balances count only banks that can sell today — sold-out, suspended, terminated, withdrawn, closed-out and not-yet-approved banks are left out. Credit classes offset different resources and are never added together. Totals across many banks are rounded to whole credits — a single bank’s own balance never is. Approval timelines come from the USACE permit-processing record (ORM). We calculate the median from every bank’s milestone dates in the division. Full clock means from the first public notice of the prospectus to the final decision — it includes the applicant’s own time. Regulator clock means from the complete draft instrument being received to that same final decision — the part the Corps controls. A median is shown only where at least four banks have both milestone dates. In-lieu fee instruments are excluded throughout. Public notices come from the USACE Regulatory Request System (RRS). Notice text is the Corps’ own; the one-line summary beside it is an AI generated summary.
