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.
