Letter from Michiana: Imperiling the state's remaining wetlands


It’s been almost a week and I still don’t get it. Indiana’s Governor, Eric Holcomb celebrated May Day by adding his signature to a bill, SEA 389, that figures to imperil the majority of the state’s wetlands. This wasn’t your usual Business versus the Environment cage match; even the state’s Chamber of Commerce beat this legislative dog. 
Holcomb signed it anyway. What gives?
The bill, which is retroactive to January 1, strips state protection from the majority of wetlands found in Indiana. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management estimates that we’ve already lost about 85 percent of our wetlands. They’ve gone the way of the forests that grew here until settlers first arrived.   ....

Environmental groups vow to continue fight to preserve Indiana's wetlands


INDIANAPOLIS — More than 100 organizations, including dozens of environmental and conservation groups, signed a letter earlier this week urging Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb to veto SEA 389, a controversial bill rolling back wetlands protections across the state.
However, on Thursday, Holcomb signed the bill into law, despite some departments in his administration openly opposing it throughout the legislative session.
Now, some of those groups are voicing their disappointment in his reversal, but also pledging to continue the fight to preserve Indiana’s vulnerable wetlands.
Seven of the major environmental groups who signed the letter — including the Hoosier Environmental Council, Indiana Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Indiana Wildlife Federation, Conservation Law Center, Save the Dunes, St. Joseph River Basin Commission and the White River Alliance — issued a joint news release Friday morning detailing their response. ....

Veto request for SEA 389 - 5 
The DNR has estimated dollar values for some of the annual benefits wetlands provide: 
●  $1.8 billion in water storage, 
●  $850 million in erosion prevention, 
●  $202 million in water purification, and 
●  support for Indiana’s multi-billion dollar outdoor recreation, hunting, and fishing industries5. 
The water storage and water quality functions of wetlands can be replaced by building stormwater infrastructure, but at a substantial cost, and without wildlife, recreation, air quality, and climate benefits. EPA data on the cost of stormwater infrastructure, adjusted to 2021 dollars, show that the least expensive option costs over $86,000 per acre of wetland being replaced6. Preserving existing wetlands saves these construction costs and provides the most cost-effective stormwater management available.  ....
