HARRISON L. WINTER, Chief Judge:
Defendant Tull, a real estate developer, placed fill on “wetlands” without a permit at several locations on the island of Chincoteague, Virginia. The government sued, alleging that this filling violated both the Clean Water Act,1 33 U.S.C. § 1251 et seq., and the Rivers and Harbors Appropriation Act, 33 U.S.C. § 401 et seq. The district court 615 F.Supp. 610, found Tull had violated both Acts, fined him, and ordered various other remedies. Tull appeals, and we affirm.
