Wetland regulations are a complex issue. To help clarify these issues, I decided to divide this topic into five different areas: Past, Present, Future, FAQs, and Regulatory Terminology.
Past will cover some of the historical legal decisions, environmental concerns, and political movements that gave rise to our current environmental regulations.
Present will describe the environmental regulations as they stand today and how the Clean Water Act is currently interpreted.
Future will cover possible changes to wetland regulations and the issues that are being debated for change.
FAQs is a working list of frequently asked questions that I encounter from clients and interested others regarding wetland regulations.
Regulatory Terminology will be a working list of common terms in the field of wetland regulations that I will be working to clarify for your understanding.
As I begin to work on the path I have plotted, please be patient with me and check back for new postings and further development.

UPDATE, January 23, 2018: Since there has been SO much of my content on the Clean Water Rule, I have re-organized the Wetland Regulations 101 postings into these 5 areas: The Clean Water Rule, More on the CWR, Regulatory History, Regulatory Terminology, and FAQs. This Clean Water Rule saga looks to continue on indefinitely with yesterday's Supreme Court Opinion released which clarified that any challenges to the CWR must begin in the district courts. As time allows, I'll continue to improve this blog.
