COMPENSATING FOR WETLAND LOSSES UNDER THE CLEAN WATER ACT
Reliably indicate important wetland processes, or at least scientifically established structural surrogates of those processes.
Scale assessment results to results from reference sites.
Are sensitive to changes in performance over a dynamic range.
Are integrative over space and time.
Generate parametric and dimensioned units, rather than nonparametric rank.
2. Impact sites should be evaluated using the same functional assessment tools used for the mitigation site.
