Sec. 710.513  Environmental mitigation.

    (a) The acquisition and maintenance of land for wetlands mitigation, 
wetlands banking, natural habitat, or other appropriate environmental 
mitigation is an eligible cost under the Federal-aid program. FHWA 
participation in wetland mitigation sites and other mitigation banks is 
governed by 23 CFR part 777.
    (b) Environmental acquisitions or displacements by both public 
agencies and private parties are covered by the Uniform Act when they 
are the result of a program or project undertaken by a Federal agency or 
one that receives Federal financial assistance. This includes real 
property acquired for a wetland bank, or other environmentally related 
purpose, if it is to be used to mitigate impacts created by a Federal-
aid highway project.
