Environmental mitigation is the process of addressing damage to the environment caused by land development, transportation or other public works projects.  Actions taken to avoid or minimize environmental damage are considered the most preferable method of mitigation.

Potential environmental mitigation activities may include:

• avoiding impacts altogether;
• minimizing a proposed activity/project size or its involvement;
• rectifying impacts (restoring temporary impacts);
• precautionary and/or abatement measures to reduce construction impacts;
• employing special features or operational management measures to reduce impacts; and
• Compensating for environmental impacts by providing suitable, replacement or substitute environmental resources of equivalent or greater value, on or off-site.
