Lower mitigation costs for qualifying permit applicants

Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee must waive some requirements to offset wetland or stream damage for aquatic resource alteration permit applicants. This applies only when wetland acreage or stream length is the sole reason the project cannot use a general permit. The waiver covers exactly the acreage or stream length that needs no mitigation under a general permit. Qualifying applicants may pay less to offset environmental damage.
