9-19-1: PURPOSE:
The purpose of this district is to identify and protect those lands in the County characterized by marshes, sloughs, poorly drained soils, a high water table or which are covered by natural nonfloodwaters during a significant portion of the year. These lands should be protected from harmful land uses because of their value for fish and waterfowl habitat, for grazing and for stabilizing fluctuations in water levels. (Ord. 2006-18, 11-2-2006)
9-19-2: DEFINITIONS:
The following definition applies to the Wetlands Overlay District:
 
GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED WETLANDS:
Non-jurisdictional such as isolated wetlands and ephemeral streams not adjacent to waters of the United States. Wetlands, for the purpose of this classification, means an area where three (3) of the following attributes, as defined in the "The Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands" exist: a) hydrophytic vegetation, b) hydric soils, and c) wetland hydrology.
WETLANDS:
Those areas of Blaine County that are inundated or saturated by ground or surface water 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 and which may support both aquatic and terrestrial species. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar areas (Army Corps of Engineers regulation, 33 CFR, 328.3, 1988) and tend to be found in transitional areas between dry land and water where the water table is usually at or near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water. Wetlands, for the purpose of this classification, means an area where three (3) of the following attributes, as defined in the current and future amended editions of "The Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands" exist: a) hydrophytic vegetation, b) hydric soils, and c) wetland hydrology. (Ord. 2006-18, 11-2-2006; amd. Ord. 2021-14, 9-21-2021)
