The following is copy/pasted from an email I recieved this morning. Some of you may be interested in attending and showing your support for protection of isolated wetlands.
Wetlands Meetings
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control will be conducting four meetings to discuss wetlands. We want to obtain your input on issues you think should be addressed in wetlands legislation for South Carolina.
As you know, isolated wetlands were removed from federal jurisdiction by a US Supreme Court decision in 2001. Attempts to address wetlands protection were unsuccessful during the 2004 South Carolina legislative session. Because of the great interest as to how best to protect isolated wetlands, SCDHEC is conducting these stakeholder meetings to receive public input on this issue. This input will be considered in drafting future legislation.
We have planned four meetings for your convenience. The issues presented for discussion will be similar at each of the meetings. You are invited to attend one or all of these meetings.
