WETLANDS AND ENVIRONMENTAL LEGISLATION ISSUES

Roy R. Carriker

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 1994, vol. 26, issue 01, 10

Abstract: The federal government program for wetlands regulation is administered by the United States Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Proposals for amending and/or reforming the Section 404 program are included in Congressional deliberations regarding Clean Water Act reauthorization. Specific issues of public policy include the definition of "waters of the United States", criteria for delineation of jurisdictional wetlands, definition of activities exempt from regulation, mitigation and classification of wetlands, and issues of property rights.
