What are the applicants responsibilities when working in wetland areas?
Applicants are required to avoid wetland impacts where feasible, minimize impacts to the extent practical when wetlands cannot be avoided, and provide compensating mitigation for unavoidable wetland impacts. Applicants must justify the purpose and need for the project and describe the various alternatives that were explored (including the no-build option) to avoid the impacts.
