Resolve, Regarding Legislative Review of Portions of Chapter 305: Permit by Rule, a Major Substantive Rule of the Department of Environmental Protection (2012)
The Legislature approved an Inland Waterfowl and Wading Bird Habitat Rule that was drafted by DEP and strengthened by the Board of Environmental Protection. This rule maintains key protections for land and water that are essential to the health of wading birds and waterfowl. It provides an opportunity for a simplified permit process while protecting the most important parts of waterfowl wetlands.
