The Tennessee Stream Mitigation Program (TSMP) is an In-Lieu Fee Program that provides compensatory mitigation for physical impacts associated federal and/or state water quality permits. The program accepts the responsibility for completing the required compensatory mitigation at a rate of $200 per linear foot of impact. The TSMP uses the funds to provide meaningful mitigation in the appropriate watershed. The TSMP funds stream restoration projects based on natural channel design as well as enhancement projects including bioengineering bank stabilization, cattle exclusion and riparian restoration. Using a watershed approach, the TSMP targets 303(d) listed streams and other significantly degraded streams to improve the aquatic habitat and overall water quality.
