In late December, Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke, R-Kaukauna, posted a video to his public Facebook page describing the impetus behind his bill, now heading to Gov. Scott Walker’s desk, which removes Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ oversight over non-federal wetlands, including artificially-created and so-called “isolated” wetlands. In the video, Steineke claimed that Wisconsin is “one of only three states that regulates isolated and artificial wetlands the way we do.” The Observatory investigated how Wisconsin regulates wetlands and whether the Badger State is as unique as the representative says it is. 
Is Wisconsin one of the strictest states for wetlands protections?
