Chapter 310: Wetlands and Waterbodies Protection
05/31/2018 10:21 AM EDT

The Department is proposing to amend Chapter 310 to limit the definition of certain Wetlands of Special Significance to include contiguous wetlands within a 250-foot radius unless the Department determines that the activity may unreasonably adversely affect the protected resource that created the WOSS designation. The proposed rulemaking would also add shoreline stabilization projects to the list of projects that may be considered in a WOSS subject to an alternatives analysis and clarifies the definitions of “Emergent Marsh Vegetation” and “Peatland”.
