What you need to know before Selling Your Stream or Wetland Banking Credits
Before selling your environmental stream or wetland banking credits, there are some important aspects to consider. First, you need to understand the local regulatory agencies, their rules concerning mitigation banking, the type of credits and physical acreage you are selling. Additionally, you should be aware market value of your credits now, historically and who potential buyers are. It is important to research the buyers, their offers to ensure that you receive the best deal possible and maximize compensation. Furthermore, you should make sure that you have a proper legal contract in place to protect both parties involved. Lastly, you should be familiar with the tax implications of selling wetland credits, such as potential capital gains or other taxes.
By understanding these aspects, you can ensure that you receive the best price for your credits and that the sale is conducted legally and responsibly. Wetland & Stream banking is becoming more refined and competitive in United States, especially in the Upper Midwest. Larger consulting and investments companies have aggressively moved into the Midwest markets over the past three years. For those who have wetland & stream banks in years gone by, it was truly a seller’s market. Those days are behind us now and the era of the professional credit broker or consultant is now upon us.
Marketing and selling mitigation offset credits takes effort. Both traditional methods and more aggressive. MPI conducts constant information tracking on permitting consultants, regulatory agencies, bank sponsors and consultants. This is followed up by active email and traditional mail campaigns to always stay front of mind with those who control the credit purchases for any section 404 permitting in the upper Midwest.

The primary goal at MPI is to have a full understanding of the available banks and credits coming online now and in the future. In the Upper Midwest there are currently more banks available and more coming online than ever before. It has never been more important to have a finger on the pulse of projects getting permitted and those needing credits.
MPI contacts the most active permitting companies on a regular basis. If you want to sell credits in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa or Illinois, you have to contact the credit Buyers before the competition gets to them.
MPI partners with some of the best land brokers in the Upper Midwest. Our team is constantly reaching out to landowners and brokers to acquire the best sites for its clients. Before an offer is even considered, the MPI team spends a lot of time with our initial due diligence. The right site needs to be in the correct service area, watershed or HUC8 and offer the appropriate credit types to meet current and future demands.
In many areas of the Upper Midwest credit pricing is unavailable. Often bank sponsors are unwilling to share what they are selling credits for. To get around the Seller’s unwillingness to share this information we work with the consultants on the buying site of credit sales. It is always the Buyers goal to find the most cost effective mitigation or offset solutions.
We work hard to maximize profits for the bank sponsor while getting the best value for the credit buyer. MPI is available to assist with site selection, permitting and management of construction, installation all the way through credit sales.
