Mitigation issues in wetland permitting

Article Abstract:

Contractors are required to secure a wetland permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers before their project designs are approved. This procedure was instituted to minimize the degradation of the country's wetlands. Wetlands play a significant part in controlling floods, providing potable water and prevention of soil erosion. Contractors should employ all possible means for avoiding the ill effects of road or facility construction on wetlands. If negative effects cannot be avoided, then, they should focus on keeping the ill effects to a minimum.

Going with the flow: floodplain development requires balanced goals

Article Abstract:

It is possible to develop a site that will maintain the goals of creating communities, protecting people/property and protecting the natural environment despite risks to living and working near a body of water. Federal agencies and city governments have adopted a philosophy of maintaining natural floodplains as a buffer against overdevelopment but these controls are not an obstacle to development. Development must be recognized as a beneficial use of floodplains that is to be balanced with natural floodplain functions.
