The mission of the Iowa Agricultural Mitigation, Inc. (IAMI) is to provide wetland mitigation credits for impacts to farmed wetlands in north central Iowa. The bank is intended to provide owners of farmed wetlands an alternative replacement option.
Wetland Mitigation banking has been commonly used to replace wetland impacts on a national scale since the 1980’s. Mitigation banking is growing in the Midwest and becoming a preferred method to compensate for unavoidable wetland losses.
