"Permanent wetland" means a well-defined basin which <br />characteristically holds water throughout the year. <br />Permanent wetlands go dry only after successive years of <br />below normal runoff and precipitation. Freshwater <br />permanent wetlands typically have a border of aquatic <br />vegetation and a predominant open water area in the <br />interior. Saline permanent wetlands are typically <br /> <br /> <br />devoid of emergent vegetation and exhibit a white, salt <br /> <br /> <br />encrusted shoreline. This definition is the uniform <br /> <br /> <br />classification adopted by the state engineer and the <br /> <br /> <br />game and fish commissioner for "permanent wetlands." <br /> <br />9. "Project" means the proposed activity contained in a <br /> <br /> <br />drainage application under consideration by the board <br /> <br /> <br />for a permit, or, when considered by the state engineer, <br /> <br /> <br />the activity approved by the board. <br /> <br />10. "Seasonal (Shallow) wetland" means a depression which <br /> <br /> <br />holds water in normal years from spring runoff until <br /> <br /> <br />mid-July. In years of normal runoff and precipitation <br /> <br /> <br />seasonal wetlands may not be tilled, but can be used for <br /> <br /> <br />hayland or pasture. In low runoff, dry years, these <br />-2- <br />
