5. Any unavoidable damage or loss of wetland shall be mitigated to insure no net loss of wetlands

Titusville Environmental Commission · 2026-06-10 · agenda_item

The Titusville Environmental Commission is reviewing policies related to wetland conservation and development. Specifically, the commission is considering how to define wetlands using U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service maps and how to protect wetlands based on their functional value. Wetlands of five acres or more will be designated for conservation, while smaller wetlands will undergo review to determine necessary protections from development. This review process will involve assessing the functional value of these smaller wetlands. The commission's actions will set standards for how future development impacts wetlands, requiring mitigation for any unavoidable damage to ensure no net loss of wetland area or function. This early stage of policy review means contractors, suppliers, and service providers in environmental consulting, site preparation, and construction trades can engage now to understand upcoming requirements and potential opportunities as these policies are finalized and implemented. Early involvement can provide a competitive advantage as project plans and permits are developed.
