Description: "This report is concerned with these larger, more complex fill projects which require mitigation. The goal is to remove the time required to develop mitigation from the permit process (when the applicant chooses) and allow the state to use that applicant's mitigation funds to offset lost resources in the harbor according to an environmental enhancement plan ... The Baltimore Harbor Enhancement Plan is composed of two main elements. The first is a study ... [which] occupies the first two chapters of the plan and details the strengths and weaknesses of the harbor's aquatac habitat, showing what types of enhancement are possible and what areas are appropriate for such activity ... The second element of the plan (Chapter 3) is an implementation program which recommends a series of steps which could achieve a more equitable balance while reducing permit processing time. Existing, interim and ultimate solutions are described as stages in the process of achieving these goals."--Page 0-1-0-2.
