Allow for local input on decisions concerning wetlands issues, especially who determines if a project is 'big' or 'small'.

Allow flexibility that permits the elimination of definitional wetlands of no value.

Regulations are value neutral and apply the same level of protection to all wetlands.

Regulations need to assess cumulative alterations on a wetlands system.

Small wetlands could be unique and need to be considered in the program.

Regulation of adjacent upland areas should be discussed and these areas should be evaluated for small wetland impacts.

The wetland mitigation policy should be considered.
