Mitigation Bank Credits in Virginia

Whitewood Farm Mitigation Bank

We are the creators of wetland, stream and riparian credits, and stewards of the vital natural resources used to offset development and enable efficient permitting.

Welcome To Whitewood Farm

Whitewood Farm is located in Fauquier County near The Plains, Va. The Whitewood Farm Mitigation Bank is part of the 1,620-acre working farm that has been used agriculturally for more than 100 years. The highest areas of the rolling property form most of the headwaters of Little River, which is a tributary to historic Goose Creek.

The Geographic Service Area (GSA) for the Mitigation Bank is part of the Middle Potomac-Catoctin HUC 8 watershed, as well as part of the immediately adjacent 8-digit HUC in the Potomac River Basin, Middle Potomac-Anacostia-Occoquan, all within the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Conservation & Restoration

Whitewood Farm Mitigation, LLC., the Bank Sponsor, is restoring critical habitat and establishing a mitigation bank to provide compensatory mitigation credits for the unavoidable loss of jurisdictional waters of the United States within the Bank's Geographic Service Area (GSA).

If you need to offset damage to streams, wetlands and/or riparian buffers, and their associated ecological functions and services related to permitted impacts near Fauquier County, Virginia, reach out to discuss your project needs.

Ecology & Economy

It is more cost effective and efficient for developers to buy credits from an approved bank than to get regulatory approvals that might otherwise take months to procure. Whitewood Farm Mitigation Bank has restored miles of stream and acres of wetlands by removing disturbances and planting back to some of Virginia's most beautiful native plants. There is no time lag between the onset of the environmental impact and the satisfaction of compensatory mitigation restoration requirements at the Bank site.

The system of mitigation banking effectively transfers the liability of ecological loss from the developer (also called permittee) to the mitigation banker. Once the permittee buys the required credits, it becomes the responsibility of the mitigation banker to develop, maintain and monitor the site on a long-term basis. Call us with questions or to discuss your needs.
