<br />By John H. Cushman Jr-
<br />The New York Times
<br />WASHINGTON — Vice President Dan Quayle
<br />and his staff are planning a last -ditch attempt;to
<br />loosen rules that prevent landowners from develop -
<br />ing wetlands, a move that would touch off a final
<br />battle within the Bush administration over one. of
<br />its thorniest environmental policies.
<br />The effort would please landowners like farmers,
<br />whose lobbyists are pushing for the administration
<br />to make the change before leaving office.
<br />But the administrator of the Environmental Pro-
<br />tection Agency, William Reilly, who would have to
<br />approve a change, said he was,, „$ ,
<br />satisfied with the current 1987
<br />wetlands rules. His remarks.
<br />signaled he isn't willing to back _
<br />tK4 � v
<br />proposed changes that have' a s`
<br />been under_ negotiation within ' 5
<br />the administration for months. r� v F
<br />A senior official on,Quayle si'
<br />staff said that there is "a split _
<br />of opinion" within the admm
<br />is i
<br />tration on whether, to proceed
<br />with the changes, and- that :iC ;I
<br />probably could be accomplish Y
<br />Reill �I
<br />ed only if all parties, including
<br />Reilly, were satisfied with the compromise
<br />" White House officials on both sides said Quayle's
<br />staff on the Council on Competitiveness,'a group;
<br />headed by the vice president thatjreviews "regula ' 4
<br />tions with an eye on cutting costsao industry; wants-
<br />to make the changes by the end;of the year. -.
<br />A revised wetlands definition' would go' into the •
<br />manual used by the Army Corps of, Engineers and
<br />the EPA in deciding whether farmers and develop
<br />ers are issued permits"to fill in watery tracts;;al -1:
<br />.lowing the areas to be planted or; developed., ',-•' }'
<br />The staff.director of the council, David McIntosh *-
<br />along with -other aides who have worked for years'
<br />to reviseAhe.wetlands manual were said by other
<br />,White House officials to be' preparing "a"hard push ):
<br />to complete the revisions before leaving office
<br />Congressional approval would "not be necessary;
