Federal wetlands law is very simple and very complex for the same reason—there is no federal wetlands
statute. Rather, there are robust provisions under the Clean Water Act (CWA) and other laws that provide
protection in various ways to many wetlands. Part I of this primer focuses primarily on the CWA §404
program, which is the primary source of federal regulatory authority over wetlands. Part II addresses other
federal laws that concern wetlands, including additional provisions of the CWA, some of the programs
administered by other federal agencies, and the wetlands programs applicable on agricultural lands.
Federal wetlands law has also been in ux since the 1970s. e multiple statutes and regulations that
address this important topic are subject to further interpretation in government documents and court deci-
sions. At the same time that this makes wetlands law a cha llenging legal practice, it creates diculties for
regulated parties, regulators, and all persons interested in wetlands. We hope that this Deskbook can help.
