  The N.C. Division of Mitigation Services' (DMS) mission is to provide cost-effective mitigation alternatives that improve the state's water resources. This NCDEQ division is responsible for providing compensatory mitigation statewide for streams and wetlands that are impacted by development and transportation projects as well as for riparian buffers and nutrient loading in some areas of the state. The program must provide all planning, implementation and disposition associated with restoration, enhancement, creation, and preservation project sites in 54 cataloging units (in 17 river basins) in the state. The DMS manages the development of comprehensive mitigation projects worth $40-80 million annually. The products produced by this program facilitate approximately $2 to $3 billion in statewide infrastructure improvements annually. Failure to provide mitigation can impact water quality, habitat, and other important watershed functions. The DMS influences North Carolina's economic growth, environmental protection, and quality of life.
