✦ Synopsis

The ability of wetlands to transform or trap nutrients and sediments has led to increasing attention to how wetlands can be used or their functions replicated to treat nonpoint sources of pollution. Protection, restoration, and creation of wetlands can be incorporated into nonpoint source pollution management strategies. There are, however, Federal regulations that prohibit the indiscriminate use of wetlands for water treatment. The Clean Water Act regulates all discharges into "waters of the United States" including wetlands. Restored wetlands are subject to the same protection and restrictions as natural wetlands. Created wetlands, on the other hand, are generally not considered "waters of the United States" if constructed solely for purposes of water treatment. Protection, restoration, and creation of wetlands provide opportunities to realize a number of functional benefits including water quality improvement.
