Swamp rules: the end of federal wetland regulation?

Article Abstract:

The court losses by the federal government in such wetland cases as those against developer James J. Wilson and the National Mining Assn should not be viewed as a threat to the continued preservation of wetlands. Instead, they should be seen as an opportunity to begin a new approach in the area of environmental protection. The government should realize that private organizations and state authorities are capable of effecting environmental conservation programs that are not only less expensive but are also more effective.
