Regulation. No person may fill, drain, excavate or otherwise alter the character of a wetland without first obtaining a permit from the District. 3. Criteria. Wetlands shall not be drained, filled wholly or in part, excavated, or have sustaining hydrology impacted such that there will be a decrease in the inherent (existing) functions and values of the wetland. Wetland impacts will be evaluated based on the following principles in descending order of priority. A void the impact to the wetland, minimize the impact to the wetland, replace the wetland that was impacted. Wetland impacts will be governed by a Rule comparable to the Wetland Conservation Act, with the following exceptions: 1. The de minimis size will be zero. 2. Flexibility Sequencing will not be allowed. 3. Public Value Credits can not be used for replacement. 4. All other WCA non-temporary impact exemptions to wetlands will not be allowed.
