A plan to preserve Indianaâs wetlands regulations, carefully crafted over several weeks by state Rep. Hal Slager, R-Schererville, was undone by his colleagues in just 48 hours, and nearly all state-regulated wetlands soon may be eligible for elimination by home builders and farmers.
The Republican-controlled Senate voted 31-19 Wednesday to advance Senate Enrolled Act 389 to Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb, after it was significantly revised Monday and approved Tuesday by the Republican-controlled House, 58-40.
The measure would permit property owners to drain or fill most isolated wetlands without a permit or compensatory mitigation. The only type of wetlands still fully protected by state regulations would be the rare Class III wetlands that remain largely undisturbed by human activities.
