Corps, Indiana Earth Day message to northwest Indiana landowners: Call before you fill!

The Corps and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management are partnering to remind private, public and commercial land owners that permits are required if wetlands and/or streams may be impacted during a project. Protecting streams, lakes and wetlands is critical due to their role in preventing flooding, improving water quality, and providing habitat for fish and wildlife, as well as the extensive recreational value they provide to the public.
