This book was released on 2010 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wetlands are immensely important ecosystems that have been historically mismanaged and poorly regulated in the United States (Beatley 1994). In the early 20th century, before the hydrological and biogeochemical functions of wetlands were fully understood, many wetlands were considered relatively useless and were frequently used as dumping grounds (Weis & Butler 2009). Due to this mentality, more than half of America's wetlands have been destroyed and developed, disregarding the natural advantages that these habitats provide for the community (Spray & McGlothlin 2004). The market paradigm dictates that media, like wetlands, offer little economic value to individuals because of a lack of marketable resources (Gillroy 2000). Unless a wetland is zoned as specially protected by the local, state, or federal government as public, preserved land, development on a wetland is only a permit away. A Kantian ecosystem paradigm is anthropomorphic, suggesting that humans require the flourishing of natural systems to reach their own autonomy (Gillroy 2000). This approach would treat the environmental quality of a wetland as a social good worth preserving and would value wetlands as an ecosystem and an entity with integrity of its own. This thesis will argue that a more environmentally sound policy design for wetlands can be secured if the Clean Water Act (CWA) and land use policy depended on an ecosystem paradigm rather than a market sector approach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s the federal government has been involved in the regulation of wetlands under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Like most federal environmental programs, authority for this regulation is premised upon an expansive reading of the Commerce Clause. In 1995, however, the Supreme Court suggested that Congress' Commerce Clause power is limited, raising questions about the constitutional limits of federal environmental regulation. This article analyzes the Commerce Clause doctrines explicit and implicit in United States v. Lopez and the extent to which this decision should limit federal wetlands regulation. The article continues to question whether judicially enforced limits on federal regulatory authority will compromise wetland conservation efforts. Based upon a review of the theoretical literature and empirical evidence, the article concludes that limiting the federal government's ability to regulate wetlands need not undermine conservation efforts, and there is substantial reason to believe that reimposing constitutional limits on federal regulatory authority may well improve environmental protection efforts.
Download or read book Wetlands written by Committee on Characterization of Wetlands and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-09-20 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wetlands" has become a hot word in the current environmental debate. But what does it signify? In 1991, proposed changes in the legal definities of wetlands stirred controversy and focused attention on the scientific and economic aspects of their management. This volume explores how to define wetlands. The committee--whose members were drawn from academia, government, business, and the environmental community--builds a rational, scientific basis for delineating wetlands in the landscape and offers recommendations for further action. Wetlands also discusses the diverse hydrological and ecological functions of wetlands, and makes recommendations concerning so-called controversial areas such as permafrost wetlands, riparian ecosystems, irregularly flooded sites, and agricultural wetlands. It presents criteria for identifying wetlands and explores the problems of applying those criteria when there are seasonal changes in water levels. This comprehensive and practical volume will be of interest to environmental scientists and advocates, hydrologists, policymakers, regulators, faculty, researchers, and students of environmental studies.

Download or read book Compensating for Wetland Losses Under the Clean Water Act written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-11-06 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognizing the importance of wetland protection, the Bush administration in 1988 endorsed the goal of "no net loss" of wetlands. Specifically, it directed that filling of wetlands should be avoided, and minimized when it cannot be avoided. When filling is permitted, compensatory mitigation must be undertaken; that is, wetlands must be restored, created, enhanced, and, in exceptional cases, preserved, to replace the permitted loss of wetland area and function, such as water quality improvement within the watershed. After more than a dozen years, the national commitment to "no net loss" of wetlands has been evaluated. This new book explores the adequacy of science and technology for replacing wetland function and the effectiveness of the federal program of compensatory mitigation in accomplishing the nation's goal of clean water. It examines the regulatory framework for permitting wetland filling and requiring mitigation, compares the mitigation institutions that are in use, and addresses the problems that agencies face in ensuring sustainability of mitigated wetlands over the long term. Gleaning lessons from the mixed results of mitigation efforts to date, the book offers 10 practical guidelines for establishing and monitoring mitigated wetlands. It also recommends that federal, state, and local agencies undertake specific institutional reforms. This book will be important to anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the "no net loss" issue: policy makers, regulators, environmental scientists, educators, and wetland advocates.
