Analyzing The Impact of Sackett v. EPA on Federal Wetlands Protection

Blue Raster worked with NRDC to identify which wetlands were potentially protected under the previous interpretation of the Clean Water Act but are now at risk of not being protected. Using the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) data, our team first created a dataset of wetlands likely to meet the regulatory definition of “wetlands” in federal Clean Water Act rules, based on the presence of water, hydric soils, and hydrophilic soils.
