Highlights of the draft rules and comparision with Wetland(conservation and management) rules, 2010: Time-Bound Action 2010 Rules: Wetlands have to be notified within a year of the Rules coming into force, and there are deadlines for each process along the way: 6 months for identification and classification, 30 days to send it to a research institute for reference and opinion, 90 days for the research institute to submit its opinion. The rest of the time is available for fulfilling notification formalities, which pass through the central authority. Draft Rules: Do away with the time-bound process for notification. Permitted Activities 2010 Rules: Activities prohibited in wetlands include reclamation, constructing permanent structures within 50 m, setting up or expanding industries, throwing waste, etc. Draft Rules: The entire list, apart from reclamation, has been deleted. Activities that make “wise use” of wetlands have been permitted. The state authority is to decide what does, and doesn’t, amount to “wise use”. Restricted Activities 2010 Rules: 12 activities including fishing, boating, dredging, etc. are restricted without prior permission from the state government. Draft Rules: Do not address the issue of prior permission for any activity. Terminology 2010 Rules: State that the Rules apply also to “areas rich in genetic diversity” and “areas of outstanding natural beauty”, besides protected areas. Draft Rules: Have removed those words. Wetland complexes 2010 Rules: Include “wetland complexes”, which are a set of wetlands dependent on each other. Draft Rules: Have removed the provision for wetland complexes. Environmental Impact 2010 Rules: An Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) is compulsory before undertaking any activity in a wetland area. Draft Rules: Make no mention of the need to conduct an EIA. Size Specifications 2010 Rules: Cover all wetlands and wetland complexes larger than a specified area — 5 hectares for high-altitude regions, 500 hectares elsewhere. Draft Rules: Only those wetlands notified by the state government; no size specified. Citizens’ Check 2010 Rules: Allow a challenge to a decision taken by the CWRA before the NGT. Draft Rules: CWRA is gone; there is no mention of a person’s ability to challenge the state authority’s decision. Analysis:
