GWC helps to lead the effort for a new wetland protection program in Colorado

Andrew Teegarden's policy brief discusses the recent Sackett decision from the Supreme Court and the steps that the State of Colorado must take to fill the new regulatory gap.

Heather Sackett, Aspen Journalism, picked up on Andrew’s policy brief in a story about the Sackett issue, and that article was re-published on KUNC and The Colorado Sound.

According to a policy brief by Andrew Teegarden, a water fellow at the Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy and the Environment at the University of Colorado Boulder, “the Supreme Court’s decision in Sackett created a gaping hole in Colorado’s program for protecting and regulating discharge and fill activities and the current state of the law in Colorado is inadequate to fill the gap.”
