Wisconsin Wetlands Association

Wetland supporters from across the state watched with interest and concern as Wisconsin Wetlands Association spent the first six weeks of 2011 embroiled in a futile effort to discourage the state legislature from passing a piece of private legislation that we now refer to as the "Bergstrom wetland exemption bill." Wisconsin Wetlands Association was the lead opponent to this bill, and the wetland fill permit that preceded it. This six-page case study establishes a record of events related to this dispute and explains the basis for WWA’s intervention. It also provides an analysis of the precedent setting implications of this case. For the case study, click here to download a copy (PDF for printing).
