The National Mitigation Banking Association (NMBA) held its annual Fly-In March 27- 29 in Washington, D.C.  A record number of representatives from the mitigation banking community met with key regulatory personnel and Congressional Representatives to discuss rules and policies impacting the environment, restoration, and the mitigation banking industry.

Trout Headwaters, Inc. president Michael Sprague, along with THI staff from the Washington, D.C. area,  attended the NMBA Fly-In to support improved U.S. environmental policy and its implementation. THI would like to thank Venable, LLP and the NMBA for superior organization of this event. 

 “I would like to especially thank the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Sen. Max Baucus, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,  Rep. Raul Labrador, Environmental Defense Fund, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Sen. Mike Crapo, Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and the many staff members and representatives of key environmental advocacy organizations for their considerable time last week,” said Sprague.
