Reply #18: if the land isn't considered covered under the Clean Water Act [View All]

[Bacchus39]

it isn't cheap development land. even if it is covered, it still doesn't mean its cheap. think Florida. the issue before the court is the interpretation of the regulations that cover wetlands and whether or not they cover certain wetlands located distantly from navigable water bodies. The Clean Water Act covers navigable water ways like large rivers and the oceans. The regulations state that wetlands adjacent to navigable water bodies and their tributaries are covered under the act. one of the questions under review is whether wetlands that have no clear connection with streams and rivers are covered under the Act.
