What Mitigation Solutions USA does

Mitigation Solutions USA, LLC (MSUSA) is a privately held, Texas-based environmental services company founded in 2007 that provides wetland, stream, and conservation banking solutions to infrastructure developers, energy and pipeline companies, and transportation projects requiring environmental offset credits. The company operates a portfolio of 20+ established mitigation banks across multiple states, including the Muddy Boggy Conservation Bank in Oklahoma which provides American Burying Beetle credits. Its core offerings span Mitigation Banks (inventory of approved credits), PRM Solutions (Permittee-Responsible Mitigation project development), Credit Brokerage (commission-based sales of credits to a network of 8,000+ impactors), Conservation Banks (endangered species credit inventory), and Interactive Maps (GIS-based visualization of bank locations).

The company operates a custom GIS technology platform for spatial data management, including aerial imagery, lidar interpretation, digital land classifications, GPS field data collection, and a public-facing interactive mapping tool. The technology stack is functional and purpose-built rather than differentiated, serving as both an internal operations tool and a buyer-facing channel. Sales-led go-to-market with a senior manager overseeing sales and operations, direct engagement with C-level executives and governing authorities, and a consultative enterprise field sales motion. The team is intentionally small (1-10 employees) with specialized roles spanning GIS, biological permitting, real estate acquisition, and business development, suggesting a lean, expertise-driven operating model rather than a scaled labor-intensive services firm.

Revenue is generated through three streams: transaction-based credit sales, marketplace commissions on brokered credit transactions, and professional services fees for PRM project development. Pricing is fully quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is founder-led by Terry McKenzie, a prior creator and operator of the Martin Creek Wetland Mitigation Bank, and has been profitable enough to operate without disclosed external funding for 18 years.
