✍️ The Trump administration is rolling back wetland protections, but New Jersey has stricter regulations in place, offering a model for preserving wetlands.
👉 The Trump administration is rolling back wetland protections 👉 New Jersey has stricter regulations on wetlands, making it one of only two states to do so 👉 The state's permitting authority under the state Water Pollution Control Act makes it unlawful to discharge pollutants into 'waters of the State' without a permit 👉 The state's wetland rules also protect adjacent 'transition areas' 👉 The state's public policy goal is to restore, enhance, and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of New Jersey's waters
