If a construction activity infringes on a wetland, the problem activity currently needs to be removed, and an application then needs to be filed to address the wetland problem. Could the policy be changed to immediately stop the construction activity and then file an application, with the possibility that the wetland application can address the infringement of the wetland?

Program emphasis should include an oversight function that assures that permit conditions are being implemented in the field.

DEM should provide better feedback to the public in response to complaints concerning potential violations of the Wetlands Act.
