Comments
Smart Growth plans do not have a mechanism or requirement for protecting wetlands. "Negligible functional values" are not defined. The mitigation provision in the bill is inadequate. The bill probably violates the public trust doctrine

Comments
The bill has some very vague definitions and could well lead to the unnecessary loss of wetlands in critical areas.
