Surely if the offsetting scheme is to become a trusted part of the planning system then it should not allow an offset site to be developed!
It adds there is a "broader issue related to the consistency of threatened species lists" and warns that NSW's policies could "permit the establishment of an offset site that is lower quality than the impact site".
As offsets would be of biodiversity interest careful consideration of the mitigation hierarchy would be required before an offset site could be developed, including taking compensatory action if significant residual harm could not be avoided.

However, a particularly worrying, and seemingly overlooked aspect of the proposals in the Green Paper, is the statement that 'the covenant could be released if, through a planning decision, it was considered developable land.' This would mean that biodiversity offset sites could be developed in the future with no certainty of any compensation.

The purpose of this paper is to compile a database of schemes that can be used by companies to ascertain the conservation status of the sites where they operate and to identify potential offset sites.

It is envisaged that the high energy production cost of an IGCC site can be offset by maximising site-wide heat recovery and thereby improving the cost of electricity (COE) of CHP generation.
MlyI is a special case, as its non-palindromic recognition site is offset from its cleavage site, which results in the restriction motif being absent from 50% of the reads.
Based on this observation, we selected 96 ESTs for which the first TSS was predicted to be targeted by at least one miRNA (known, new or potential) that perfectly aligned with the predicted cleavage site (offset =0) (Additional file 4).
