Mitigation requirements. <br /> 1. Generally. Compensatory mitigation is required for all unavoidable alterations to wetland or their <br /> buffers, except for buffer averaging when done in accordance with KCC § 17A.07.030.7. <br /> Compensatory mitigation actions shall replace functions affected by the alteration and shall provide <br /> equal or greater functions compared to the impacted wetland. <br /> 2. Buffer for wetland mitigation sites. Any wetland area that is created, restored, or enhanced as <br /> compensation for approved alterations shall be the same as the buffer required for the category of the <br /> created,restored, or enhanced wetland. <br /> 3. Mitigation timing. Mitigation projects shall be completed prior to or concurrently with permitted <br /> alterations and development that will disturb wetlands.In all other cases,mitigation shall be completed <br /> immediately following disturbance and prior to use or occupancy of the alteration or development. <br /> Construction of mitigation projects shall be timed to reduce impacts to existing fisheries,wildlife,and <br /> flora. <br /> 4. Delay in mitigation.The Director may authorize a one-time temporary delay,up to one hundred eighty <br /> (180) days, in completing minor construction and landscaping when environmental conditions could <br /> produce a high probability of failure or significant construction difficulties. The delay shall not create <br /> or perpetuate hazardous conditions or environmental damage or degradation, and the delay shall not <br /> be injurious to the health, safety, and general welfare of the public. The request for the temporary <br /> delay must include a written justification that documents the environmental constraints <br /> Downloaded from https:Hecode360.com/KI6857 on 2025-05-15 <br />
