Mitigation banking in Pennsylvania continues to evolve as regulators and practitioners refine approaches that balance permitting efficiency with strong, measurable ecological outcomes. In this webinar, Dave Goerman of the Pennsylvania DEP and Katie Wolff and Jon Kasitz of RES share a clear, practical look at how the state’s mitigation banking program has developed, what makes it distinct, and how it functions today. Drawing on decades of regulatory and project delivery experience, they unpack the current framework, real-world ecological results, and what applicants, consultants, and developers need to know to successfully integrate mitigation banking into project planning and permitting timelines.
