| Abstract: |
Regulation of Pennsylvania's wetlands has been complicated by their diversity and wide geographic distribution. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act only partially protects these wetlands from the effects of urbanization because it regulates neither dredging or the discharge of waste materials into wetlands when the object is not to create fast land. Because wetlands protection depends ultimately on public support, public education is a priority of the regulatory program. |
