USACE mitigation bankingNorth Atlantic Division

How long the NAD division's districts take to approve a mitigation bank, what credit supply they oversee, and how the districts differ from one another. The clock that matters is the regulator's own — everything else includes time the applicant spends revising.

The read

A bank clears the regulator here in about 10 months — and takes roughly 1.7 years end to end.

Measured against the national median, the regulator clock sits level with it (1.04×) and the full clock sits level with it (0.95×).

About the data on this page

Bank details, status and credit balances are mirrored from the USACE RIBITS registry, the federal public record for mitigation banks. Single-client banks are excluded from supply figures. Credit balances count only banks that can sell today — sold-out, suspended, terminated, withdrawn, closed-out and not-yet-approved banks are left out. Credit classes offset different resources and are never added together. Totals across many banks are rounded to whole credits — a single bank’s own balance never is. Approval timelines come from the USACE permit-processing record (ORM). We calculate the median from every bank’s milestone dates in the division. Full clock means from the first public notice of the prospectus to the final decision — it includes the applicant’s own time. Regulator clock means from the complete draft instrument being received to that same final decision — the part the Corps controls. A median is shown only where at least four banks have both milestone dates. In-lieu fee instruments are excluded throughout. Public notices come from the USACE Regulatory Request System (RRS). Notice text is the Corps’ own; the one-line summary beside it is an AI generated summary.
