Abstract:
Up until the 1950s, the government's attitude toward wetlands was to drain them. By the 1980s large areas of wetlands were gone. In the 1990s, wetlands were recognized for their valuable environmental functions, and now the government's focus is on preservation and restoration. Whisnant defines wetlands and discusses what federal and state laws govern them.

Abstract:
More than half of North Carolina’s wetlands now under Federal regulation would be removed from the reach of the law, if rules proposed in August 1991 by the Bush-Quayle administration are adopted. The proposed rules revise the definition of a wetland in attempt to prevent unnecessary inference with private property rights.

Abstract:
In June, the National Research Council said that the Clean Water Act Section 404 program that allows developers to fill in wetlands in exchange for restoring or creating others is not meeting the goal of “no net loss” in function of wetlands. The Council made recommendations to improve the Section 404 compensatory mitigation program. In North Carolina, the Wetlands Restoration Program is doing a watershed assessment to determine where it would be most beneficial to do mitigation as suggested by the Council.

Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) alters more wetlands and riparian areas and undertakes more compensatory mitigation than any other single entity in the state. In March 2002, the second of two reports on evaluation of mitigation sites and the mitigation program was published. The East Carolina University researchers who conducted the evaluation discussed significant weaknesses in NCDOT’s mitigation program and offered recommendations for restoration and improvement.
