New EPA rules on wetlands banking - bad idea

The EPA has issued new rules that emphasize wetland banking as a preferred technique for developers. That's not a good idea for several reasons, one of which being that creating wetlands from scratch doesn't work well.

The Ohio EPA has been studying wetlands creation for banking for years, and finds that only about 25 percent of banked wetlands are actually passable.
