Hydric Soils means soils that, in an undrained condition, are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during a growing sea- son to develop an anaerobic condition that supports the growth and regeneration of hydrophytic vegetation;
Hydric Soils means soils that are saturated, flooded, or covered by water long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part of the soil profile. These soils, under natural conditions, are either saturated or inundated long enough during the growing season to support the growth and reproduction of hydrophytic vegetation.

Hydric Soils means soils which, in an undrained condition, display characteristics of a hydrologic regime of periodic annual saturation due to high groundwater, flooding or ponding that results in an anaerobic condition which favors the growth and regeneration of hydrophytic (wetland) vegetation.
