Description: The Maine Natural Resource Conservation Program (MNRCP) was created to help compensate for unavoidable impacts to protected aquatic resources in the State of Maine by funding the restoration, enhancement, preservation, and creation of similar resources to maintain ecological benefits. The program manages the allocation of funds collected through the State’s In-Lieu Fee Compensation Program, a voluntary program that allows entities impacting natural resources, primarily wetlands, to make a payment directly to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) as an alternative to the traditional mitigation process. Fees collected by DEP are deposited into funds based on the biophysical regions in which the impacts occurred. These funds are administered by The Nature Conservancy in Maine (TNC). Public agencies, tribes, non-profit conservation organizations and municipalities in Maine can then apply, through a competitive process, for funding to complete appropriate projects in these biophysical regions. Preference is given to projects that restore, enhance, preserve, or create resources that best match the natural characteristics and values that were impacted in that region. The focus of the program is to maximize the ecological benefits of compensatory mitigation. Projects benefiting habitat areas of statewide conservation significance, or other natural resource priority areas, are preferred.
