Description

Wetlands Law and Policy: Understanding Section 404 2nd Edition Susan Lynne Stephens ISBN 9781639054732

The federal government plays a central role in protecting the nation’s wetlands, with the Clean Water Act’s Section 404 permitting program serving as the cornerstone of that effort. Wetlands Law and Policy: Understanding Section 404, Second Edition provides a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of this influential—and often controversial—regulatory framework.

Authored by experienced attorneys and experts representing a broad range of perspectives, including industry, government, conservation organizations, and academia, this book offers a balanced and authoritative analysis of federal wetlands regulation. It is particularly valuable for practitioners navigating an area of law shaped by competing interests, an ambiguous statutory mandate, and heavy reliance on regulatory guidance and judicial interpretation.

Focusing on the Section 404 permitting program, the book explores the scientific, social, and legal dimensions of wetlands protection. Topics include wetland ecology, the role of states in implementing Section 404, takings and property rights issues, EPA veto authority, enforcement and judicial review, and the interaction between wetlands regulation and agricultural programs. This edition serves as an essential resource for understanding the complexities of wetlands law and policy in today’s regulatory environment.
