Existing wetlands shall not be modified for the purposes of stormwater detention unless it is demonstrated that the proposed modification, including such activities as filling, draining, excavation and vegetation removal, will maintain or improve habitat and water quality. In addition, fill shall not be placed in the wetland and long-term monitoring and maintenance agreement shall be established to ensure that the modified wetland/detention facility continues to provide wetland functions.
