Download or read book Analysis of Selected Functional Characteristics of Wetlands written by J. Atcheson and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to develop procedures and methodologies that could be used to assess the value of wetlands in performing four functions: water quality improvement; groundwater recharge; storm and flood water storage; and shoreline protection. The procedures and methodologies were to be used by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers district offices in conjunction with permitting activities under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Existing studies were reviewed, and based on this data factors that contributed to a wetland's ability to perform the indicated function were identified. Criteria were identified to assist in assessing various types of wetlands relative to the functional areas. Procedures and methodologies that could be used to apply these criteria to specific sites were then developed. Finally, for each functional area, research needs were identified.

Book Compensating for Wetland Losses Under the Clean Water Act

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.
