COLBERT CAMERON MITIGATION BANK

This 2,600 acre bank is located in Volusia County. Credits are available to offset impacts for projects located in North & East Orange County, Seminole, Volusia, Osceola and Brevard Counties. Its service area includes drainage basins 18,19,23 and part of 20 in the St. Johns River Water Management District. CCMB is also permitted to offset RHPZ impacts for select projects.

The property features forested wetlands, prairies, cypress domes and a unique inland Salt Marsh area. It contains and protects the headwaters of Cabbage Slough, a tributary of the St. Johns River, which joins the River at its confluence with the Little Econ. There are several active eagle nests located on the property. CCMB is adjacent to a large tract of SJRWMD owned lands and provides an additional buffer between District owned lands and development in the area.

CCMB has both federal and state freshwater mitigation credits available under State permit No. 4-127-0314-ERP, issued November 1996 and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Permit No. 199602586 (IP-ME), issued March 1998. The bank is permitted for a total of 718.8 State credits and 578 Federal credits.

Bald Eagle

During breeding season, the male and female work together to build a nest of sticks. The nests can weigh up to a ton and measure up to 8 feet across. While one parent sits on the eggs, the other will hunt and collect materials for nest upkeep.
