Wetland Mitigation

Resolved, that KAP lobby the Government of Manitoba to change drainage regulations to allow farmers to mitigate the drainage of Class 1, 2, 3 and 4 wetlands by digging reservoirs in convenient locations with equivalent volumes to establish an enhanced wetland that would maintain water for all aquatic species.

Update

KAP raised this issue with the Department of Environment and Climate Change. The department has concerns that equivalent volumes do not mean equivalent benefits.
