State Grange Testifies On
Wetland Legislation
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
Even though the protection of
wetlands was not meant to hinder
agricultural activities, the farming
industry has been caught in the
crossfire, according to the Pen
nsylvania State Grange legislative
director.
Brenda Shambaugh recently
testified before the Senate Envir
onmental Resources and Energy
Committee on SB 982 and 983
which deals with the wetland
issue.
The Grange is in favor of many
aspects of the legislation including
agricultural exemption in certain
cases. Normal farming activities
should be exempt on all land used
for agriculture during anytime in
the last 25 years, according to
Shambaugh.
“This is the intent of the bill and
we would like to see it specifically
stated,” Shambaugh said.
The Grange also supports the
removal of wetlands from farm
value for tax purposes if it cannot
be farmed, and an amendment
stating that a wetlands permit
should automatically be granted if
DER has not responded to the
agricultural permit request within
the specified time frame.
One of the major problems with
wetlands is the fact that several
definitions are being used. Sham
baugh said the Grange would like
to see DER adopt the federal
definition and then map the wet-
lands so farmers will know where
they are on his/her property.

Several areas of the legislation
put a financial burden on the far
mer and should be eliminated,
according to Shambaugh. Current
ly the legislation includes costly
permits for each activity. The
Grange feels a one-time permit fee
is all that is needed. Also, once
mapping is completed, the farmer
would have to pay DER to obtain
the information.
“Since a fanner’s livelihood
could be at stake,” Shambaugh
said, “we do not believe this infor-
mation should have to be
purchased.
“We also question a 10 year
permit block for wetland offen
ders in the bill. While we agree
that those who continually abuse
the system should not be allowed
to continue receiving permits, we
believe there is so much confusion
and ambiguity surrounding the
wetlands issue, that one or two
mistakes should not carry a
decade sentence.”
Proposal of this legislation is a
positive step to ensuring a healthy
agricultural economic base in the
Commonwealth, according to
Shambaugh. “As our number one
industry, we cannot afford to
gravely hinder agricultural
operations.”
The Pennsylvania State Grange
represents more than 40,000 rural
and farming Pennsylvanians. It is
the oldest fraternal farm organiza
tion and one of the largest in the
nation.
