Redistribution Effects of Wetland Mitigation Over Space and Time

Finally, the third section uses the same Chicago dataset to analyze whether mitigation programs actually relocate wetlands through off-site mitigation from urban to rural areas and whether that relocation causes socioeconomic disparities. I demonstrate that the extent of wetland relocation and redistribution differs significantly with choice of mitigation method, while the largest differences are observed for in-lieu fee mitigation. These findings suggest that planners must take relocation and redistributive effects into account in setting up and administering mitigation programs, particularly as responsibility for wetland protection shifts from federal to local regulators.
