In-Lieu Fee Program

DFG sponsors and administers the In-Lieu Fee Program (ILFP) for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The ILFP affords Corps permittees the new option of paying an in-lieu fee to DFG's ILFP as mitigation for their project impacts to federally-regulated aquatic resources. DFG, in turn, will aggregate ILFP fees to implement larger-scale mitigation projects.
