The adaptive management plan shall guide decisions for revising compensatory mitigation plans and implementing measures to address both foreseeable and unforeseen circumstances that adversely affect compensatory mitigation success. NR 350.007(6)(n)(n) Financial assurances. A description of the financial assurances that the mitigation sponsor will provide under s. NR 350.008 (3) and how they ensure a high level of confidence that the mitigation sponsor will successfully complete the project, in accordance with its performance standards. NR 350.007(6)(o)(o) Supporting justification. Information that supports the appropriateness, feasibility, and practicability of the compensatory mitigation project.
