Two Sussex County Council members are expressing their doubts about the interest by a state committee in regulating development of 4-thousand acres of privately owned wetlands.
Council members Sam Wilson from Georgetown and Vance Phillips both fear this interest by the Wetland Advisory Committee set up by the state could hamper farming.
But, the Wilmington News Journal reports that yesterday Council member George Cole told his colleagues that he did not believe this was an attack on farming.
The majority of Delaware’s wetlands are protected from development but the wetlands committee says there are gaps where federal and state laws do not apply amounting to around 57-hudnred acres.
