We received info about this project and public input from Frac Sand Sentinel. As wetlands are destroyed for industrial development, other areas must be made available so replacement wetlands can be constructed. Many studies conclude they rarely work. "“Once you degrade a wetland, it doesn’t recover its normal assemblage of plants or its rich stores of organic soil carbon, which both affect natural cycles of water and nutrients, for many years. Even after 100 years, the restored wetland is still different from what was there before, and it may never recover.”
