: Principle: Successful Development, Restoration, and Mitigation work follows the same trajectory Therefore…there are relatively few ‘shovel ready’ projects ready to be implemented

BEFORE AFTER Principle: Restoration projects generally take more time the regulatory climate allows 2000 2009

Principle: Restoration projects cost a lot more than you think (not including project management costs) Stream simulation culvert replacement = $60,000-$100,000 (no utility conflicts or pavement) Wetland enhancement = $20,000-$60,000 acre (+ land and/or easement cost) Removal of infrastructure from acquired lands = $ 20,000-$30,000 (+ appraisal and contaminants abatement cost) Invasive Plant Control = Annual $ Cost x Years Viability of Seed Bank
