Mitigation banking refers to wetland mitigation projects that are used to offset negative wetland impacts as required under federal law through the Clean Water Act, Section 404. In such projects, DU works with the Corps of Engineers to compensate for unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources permitted under Section 404 or similar state or local wetland regulation. These transactions were previously accounted for as contributions rather than as exchange transactions. To correct this error in 2018, the following amounts in the consolidated statement of activities for the year ended June 30, 2017 have been corrected from previously reported amounts resulting in a decrease in temporarily restricted habitat reimbursements of approximately $4,023,000, a decrease in net assets released from restrictions - program restriction satisfied of approximately$1,428,000, an increase in unrestricted support and revenues of approximately $1,428,000 and a decrease in temporarily restricted net assets at June 30, 2016 of approximately $5,818,000. In addition, deferred revenues of approximately $8,413,000 were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017. This correction has no effect on operating revenues or cash flows.
