No, MMWA credits cannot be used for that purpose. If you have private landowners seeking to develop in your municipality, they may have the opportunity to purchase credits from a private wetland mitigation bank. Please see the MDEQ Registry for a list of all current mitigation banks at www.michigan.gov/wetlands. The MMWA does have limited programs for certain agricultural producers. Please see our FAQs for Agricultural Producers for more information.
