Request Mitigation

Customers interested in submitting a request to DMS to provide mitigation for unavoidable impacts from development projects can choose from the request forms below.

Note that all requests to access the DMS In-Lieu Fee programs must be accompanied by a signed "Bank Law Compliance Form" (included in the forms below) verifying knowledge of and compliance with G.S. 143-214.11, and other statutes which restrict access to the DMS ILF programs for some entities when credits are available from private mitigation bank companies.  A list of approved banks is available from the NC DWR Web site.

In response to questions received by both the N.C. Division of Water Resources and DMS, DWR has provided guidance to clarify the acceptability of using DMS ILF programs for buffer mitigation and/or nutrient offsets to satisfy local government requirements that exceed those found in state rules or legislation. To help with the clarification, several scenarios are presented in the guidance document to illustrate the suitability for local governments to direct developers to DMS ILF programs.
