[FR Doc.73-86B8 Flled 6-1-73;8:45 am] ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY PROTECTION OF NATION'S WETLANDS Policy Statement PUTPose.-The purpose ot: this state- ment is to establish EPA polley to pre- serve the wetland ecosystems and. to pro.. tect them from destruction through waste water or nonpolnt source dis- charges and thetr treatment or control or the development and construction at waste water treatment facilities or by other physical, chemical, or biological means. . The tvetland. resOtLrce.-a. Wetlands represent an ecosystem of unique and major importance to the citizens of this Nation and, as a result, they require ex.. traordinary protecUon, Comparable' de... structive forces would be ex.pected to fu.. fUct more lasting damage to them than to other ecOSystemB. Through this policy statement, EPA estabIlshes appropriate safeguards for the preservation and pro- . tection of the wetland resources. b. The Nation's wetlands, including marshes, swa.mp.s, bogs, and other low.. lying areas, which during some period or the year wID be covered -in part by nat.. ural nonflood waters, are a unique, val- uable, irreplaceable water resource. They serve as a habitat for important fur- bearing mammals, many species of fish, and waterfowl. Such areas mcxierate ex- tremes in waterfl.ow, aid in the n,atural purifir.atlon of water. and maintain and recharge the ground water resource. They are the nursery area.s for a great number of "wildlife and aquatic species and .serve at times as the source of val- uable harvestable timber. They are Wlique recreational areas, high .in aes- thetic vaJue, that contain delicate and irreplaceable specim.ens of fatma and ft.ora and support fishing, as well as wild. fowl and other hunting. c. Fresh-water wetlands support the adjacent or downstream aquatic ecosys- tem in addition to the complex. web ot life that ha..,; developed within the wet- land environment. The relationship of the fresh-water wetland to the subsur- face environment 15 symbiotic, intricate, and fragile. In the tidal wetland areas the tides tend to redistribute the nutri- ents Bnd sediments throughout the tidal marsh and these in turn fonn a substrate for the life supported by the tidal marsh. These marshes produce large quantities of plant Ufe that are the source of much of the organic matter consumed by shell- fish and oUlpl" aquatic life in associated estuaries. d. Protection of wetland areas requires the proper placement and management of any construction activit1es and con- trols of nonpaint sources to prevent dis- turbing sl.gn1ft.cantly the terra.in and im- pairing the quality of the wetland area. Alteration in quantity or quality of the natUral flow of water, which nourishes the ecosystem, should be minimized. The add1tion of ha.nnful waste waters or nutnents contained in such waters should be kept below a level that v..m alter the natural, physical, chemical, or biological integrity of the wetland area and that will insure no significant increase in nui- sance organisms through biostimulation. Policy.-a. In its decision processes, it shall be the Agency's pOlicy to give particular cognizance and consideration to any proposal that has the potential to dRJIlage wetlands, to recognize the irre- placeable value and man's dependence on them to mair1tain an environment ac- cepta.ble to society, and to preserve and protect them from damaging misuses. b. It shall be the Agency's policy to minimize alterations in the quantity or quality of the natural flow of water that nourishes wetlands and to protect wet. lands from adverse dredging or filling practices, solid waste management prac- tJces. slltatJon or the addition of pesticides. salts, or toxic materials arising from nonpoint source wastes and through constructlon activities, and to prevent .
