D.C. Wetland Conservation Plan – Updated for 2020!
In addition to the recent emergency rulemaking, the District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) has released an updated Wetland Conservation Plan. WSSI worked with the DOEE from 2015 to 2018 to update the District’s Wetland Conservation Plan from its 1997 version. As part of this effort, our GIS and Environmental Science staff completed a desktop reconnaissance of the entire District, performed months of field work to delineate and assess wetlands, and helped develop the written conservation plan that focuses on the District’s wetland resources, their condition, and the regulations that ensure their continued existence and enhancement. This updated Wetland Conservation Plan is now available to the public.
