 Framework for Dredged Material Management
May 2004
Wetlands
Areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater 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. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas
(40 CFR Part 230).
Wetlands restoration
Involves either improving the condition of existing degraded wetlands so that the
functions that they provide are of a higher quality or reestablishing wetlands
where they formerly existed before they were drained or otherwise converted.
Zoning
To designate, by ordinances, areas of land reserved and regulated for specific land
uses.
