The Farm Bill provides wetland protection through 



local ASCS County Committees 



All cities and counties have comprehensive land 



use plans, many of which regulate wetland 



development. All coastal jurisdictions regulate 



fill and removal in estuaries, for example, and 



in significant shoreland wetlands fill and 



removal is prohibited in protected wetlands. Some 



inland wetlands are protected through local 



ordinances 



A CZM program is based upon incorporation of 



state land use policies (19 statewide goals) into 



local comprehensive plans. The goals of particular 



relevance to wetland regulation are goals 5, 15, 



16 and 17. All local governments and state 



agencies must comply with these policies (see ORS 



197) . . ,
