Regulated wetlands definition
Regulated wetlands means ponds 20 acres or less, including their submerged aquatic beds, and those lands defined as wetlands under the federal Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq., and rules promulgated pursuant thereto, and shall be those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Regulated wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas. Wetlands created as mitigation and wetlands modified for approved land use activities shall be considered as regulated wetlands. All Category I wetlands shall be considered regulated wetlands. Regulated wetlands do not include Category II wetlands less than 1,000 square feet in size and Category III and IV wetlands less than 2,500 square feet in
Regulated wetlands means all wetlands as defined herein and wetlands which fall waterward of the ordinary high water mark of lakes; except that the following wetlands may be filled if the impacts are fully mitigated based on the requirements of LMC 14.28.445. In order to verify the following conditions, a wetland report shall be submitted:
Regulated wetlands means ponds or lakes 30 20 acres or less and those lands subject to the "wetland" definition contained in this chapter. Wetlands 1,000 sq. ft. and less that do not meet any of the criteria of TMC 18.45.080B are not regulated.

Regulated wetlands means all wetlands as defined herein and wetlands which fall waterward of the ordinary high water mark of lakes; except that all isolated Category III and IV wetlands less than one thousand square feet are exempt from the provisions of this chapter; provided, that:
Regulated wetlands means all wetlands as defined herein and wetlands which fall waterward of the ordinary high water mark of lakes. At the time of adoption of this provision the Department of Ecology, had not provided a threshold for small wetland exemptions. Previous recommendations prepared by the Department of Ecology, in the early 1990’s, provided exemptions for some small wetlands; Category II and III wetlands under 2,500 square feet, and Category IV wetlands under 10,000 square feet. The Department of Ecology no longer believes such exemptions are scientifically valid. Depending upon individual circumstances of a wetland site, these small wetlands may or may not have functions and values justifying regulation.; except that all isolated Category III and IV wetlands less than 1000 square feet are exempt from the provisions of this chapter provided that:
