Description: Wetlands Regulation explains how to identify and comply with laws and procedures governing California's wetlands. In clear and understandable language, this book describes how wetlands are regulated and which federal, state, regional, or local agencies have jurisdiction. Every permit applicant, public agency, environmental organization, and attorney working with wetlands issues needs this comprehensive, practical guide. Written by technical and legal experts, Wetlands Regulation provides guidance for securing permits to develop in wetland areas and describes strategies for preservation. Also discussed are mitigation planning, implementation, and banking, and conservation planning. Wetlands Regulation is a complete guide to federal and state programs, using examples from California to illustrate key issues. Thorough treatment is given to regulation of wetlands under Section 404 of the Clean Water act, Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, Sections 1600-1607 of the California Fish and Game Code, and the California Coastal Act.
