Wetland value means the market value of wetlands in any potential use in which the wetland character is not permanently altered. The wetland value must not reflect potential uses of the wetland that would violate the terms of any existing conservation easement, or any onetime payment received by the wetland owner under the terms of a state or federal conservation easement. The wetland value must also reflect any potential income consistent with a property’s wetland character, including but not limited to lease payments for hunting or other recreational uses.
