(a) The Board is authorized, but is not required, to classify certain geographical areas as impacted drainage areas and to enact and promulgate regulations for land alteration in impacted drainage areas, in addition to regulations which are applicable generally. Such classifications and regulations may be later modified or rescinded by the Board.
(b) Action of the Board to classify or declassify any area as an impacted drainage area, or to promulgate, repeal or modify any regulation in regard thereto, shall be in compliance with the requirements of state statute, regarding promulgation, repeal and modification of regulations generally.
