I'm fond of the saying "That government is best which governs least."

I would like to see a wetlands version of Temple Grandin's guidelines for the beef industry that got widely adopted because McDonald's de facto enforced it. They give you a list of goals or standards and don't micromanage how to achieve it.

Excellence requires some flexibility. Top-down dictates tend to set a minimum standard but frequently also de facto undermine the ability to hit a higher bar.

How about just reinstating the protections for the wetlands?
