William Tauzin: “Mr. Chairman, what happens under the bill is that the property owner…”

On the recordMarch 3, 1995

Mr. Chairman, what happens under the bill is that the property owner who believes he is affected by one of these statutes, endangered species, 404 wetlands or swampbusters, literally goes to the agency and makes a request, am I affected by those statutes. If so, what part of my property is affected. A good example is the one I gave the other day from my farmer in Plaquemines Parish. Included in his letter to me was a map. The corps actually drew a map, showed him the affected area of his property affected by the wetlands determination. So the agency determines what part of your property is affected by wetlands or endangered species. That area is defined, is certain, and that is why this new revision to the amendment makes sense.
