Gov. Eric Holcomb has signed a controversial bill into law that takes away state protections for many of Indiana’s wetlands.
Senate Enrolled Act 389 removes protections for a whole class of smaller wetlands and nixes some for another class of wetlands that the state considers somewhat “rare or ecologically important.” The Indiana Department of Environmental Management estimates more than 80 percent of the state’s wetlands fall into these two categories.
Supporters of the new law said Indiana’s wetland protections were too strict causing home prices to go up and creating conflicts between farmers and state environmental regulators.
