The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in January 1986 adopted a Wetlands Research Plan which decribes the research necessary to assist the Agency in implementing its responsibilities relative to wetlands, including 404 of the Clean Water Act. Many of the products will assist EPA personnel in evaluating 404 permit applications. Research will be implemented to: assess the water-quality functions of wetlands; develop methods to predict the cumulative impact(s) associated with wetland loss; and improve the formulation and evaluation of mitigation projects.
