In-Lieu-Fee Programs

What is an In-Lieu-Fee Program?

“In-lieu-fee” (ILF) mitigation occurs in circumstances where a permittee provides funds to an in-lieu-fee sponsor instead of either completing project-specific mitigation or purchasing credits from a mitigation bank”

– (Department of the Army, Environmental Protection Agency, Fish and Wildlife Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 2000)
