Wetland creation definition
Wetland creation means, for purposes of wetland mitigation, the manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics present to develop a wetland on an upland or deepwater site, where a wetland did not previously exist. Activities to create a wetland typically involve excavation of upland soils to elevations that will produce a wetland hydroperiod, create hydric soils and support the growth of hydrophytic plant species. Wetland creation results in a gain in wetland acres.
Wetland creation means to convert an area that has never been a wetland to a wetland.
Wetland creation means the producing or forming of a wetland or surface water system through artificial means from a dry upland site.
