Hydric Soils definition

Hydric Soils means any soil category upon which building could be prohibited or restricted under any applicable Law, including any restrictions imposed by the Army Corps of Engineers based upon its guidelines concerning soil, vegetation, and effect on the ecosystem.

Hydric Soils means soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part.

Hydric Soils means soils that are wet frequently enough to periodically produce anaerobic conditions, thereby influencing the species composition or growth, or both, of plants on those soils.

Examples of Hydric Soils in a sentence

• Wetlands shall be delineated by either a certified soil scientist or a professional wetland scientist according to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual, 1987, and the Regional Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England, 1995.

• Soils are considered hydric if they meet the criteria defined by the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils.

• Hydric soils consist of very poorly drained and poorly drained soil drainage classes as defined in "Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England", Version 2, July 1998.

• Identification and delineation of wetlands shall be by a Certified Wetland Scientist in accordance with Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England.

• The National Technical Committee on Hydric Soils (NTCHS) has developed criteria for hydric soils and a list of the Nation's hydric soils (USDA Soil Conservation Service [NTCHS], 1991); New York's soils list was published January 1988 and revised in March 1989.

More Definitions of Hydric Soils

Hydric Soils means a soil that is saturated, flooded or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part. The presence of hydric soil shall be determined by following the methods described in the "Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands."

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. The following types of soils are hydric:

Hydric Soils means soils which are wet long enough to periodically produce anaerobic (reduced oxygen) conditions, thereby influencing plant growth.

Hydric Soils. Any soil category upon which construction of Improvements would be prohibited or restricted under applicable governmental requirements, including, without limitation, those imposed by the U. S. Army Corp of Engineers. Improvements – Any and all buildings, structures, improvements, alterations or appurtenances now erected or at any time hereafter constructed or placed upon the Land or any portion thereof and any replacements thereof including without limitation, all equipment, apparatus, machinery and fixtures of any kind or character forming a part of said buildings, structures, improvements, alterations or appurtenances.

Hydric Soils means soils that are wet frequently enough to periodically produce anaerobic conditions, thereby influencing the species composition of growth, or both, of plants on those soils. A list of hydric soils is maintained by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and at the DTCS.
