This exercise provides a review of the wetlands protection provisions of the Clean Water Act. The exercise focuses on several land development proposals in Midway, Ames that may adversely impact wetlands. Through a series of multiple choice questions, the student advises the developers whether their proposed developments would require a permit under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act or a state wetlands protection law, and whether a general permit might authorize the proposed developments. In addition, the student examines the procedures that the Corps and EPA use when they issue a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit, the standards for approval of a permit, and the conditions that might be placed on the permit. Finally, the student explores the takings implications that may arise when the Corps denies a developer a wetlands permit. The exercise provides the students with maps of the proposed developments and a copy of a permit application for one of the development proposals. Many of the important statutory provisions are hypertext-linked to the questions for ease of reference. Timing, scoring and hardcopy printout features are available.

Professors Brown and Grohman, authors of several CALI lessons on covenants, give students a framework to approach studying the material and offer real-life applications of the doctrines. They also discuss the interrelatedness of the law and explain why it's an artificial distinction (and one that complicates learning) to study property issues separate from civil procedure issues, for example.
