Initiate additional public outreach explaining the positive portions of DEM activities in the program.

Utilize and maintain the Internet for communication, public education and application retrieval purposes.

The public needs to be better informed on wetland issues. This may lead to fewer conflicts about the development of marginal land.

Application of the rules by division staff should be consistent.

The regulations should be written clearly with guidance about wetland types and allowable alterations. Performance standards for wetland applications should be evaluated.
