Wyoming Wetlands Act
Wyoming · Public Health and Safety · §§ 35-11-301 to 35-11-320 · 20 sections
Overview
The Wetlands Act governs the use and alteration of wetlands, making a permit a precondition for regulated activity while exempting certain categories and preserving uses already in place before the act applied. The responsible authority adopts regulations and application procedures, charges application fees, and decides permit applications through a process that includes public hearings, an appeal to a board for those aggrieved by a decision and a further appeal from the board's ruling, along with a route for claims that a permit denial amounts to a taking without just compensation. Compliance is backed by cease and desist orders, injunctive relief, a right of entry, and penalties; inconsistent laws give way while other law is left intact, the act is to be construed liberally, and federal and other funds may be accepted to support its administration.
