Constructed wetland definition

Constructed wetland means a manmade shallow pool that creates growing conditions suitable for wetland vegetation and is designed to maximize pollutant removal.
Constructed wetland means an artificial wetland that uses natural processes involving wetland vegetation, soils, and their associated microbial assemblages to treat domestic wastewater, industrial wastewater, greywater or stormwater runoff, to improve water quality.
Constructed wetland means intentionally designed, built and operated on previously nonwetland sites for the primary purpose of wastewater treatment or stormwater retention; such wetlands are not created to provide mitigation for adverse impacts or other wetlands.

Examples of Constructed wetland in a sentence

More Definitions of Constructed wetland

Constructed wetland means a vegetated area that has been deliberately modified to provide or enhance habitat, to provide water quality benefits, or to moderate water flow rates or velocities, that is inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, commonly known as hydrophytic vegetation.
Constructed wetland means a non-naturalswimming pool and any artificial wetland that uses natural processes involving wetland vegetation, soils, and their associated microbial assemblages to treat domestic wastewater, industrial water, greywater or stormwater runoff, to improve water quality.
Constructed wetland means a designed and man-made system comprised of a basin containing soil at the bottom with emergent and submergent vegetation, animal life and water that simulates natural wetlands, and is used for further wastewater treatment following a sewage treatment plant or wastewater treatment lagoon;
Constructed wetland means areas intentionally designed and created to emulate the water quality improvement function of wetlands for the primary purpose of removing pollutants from stormwater.
Constructed wetland means those wetlands intentionally created from non- wetland sites for the sole purpose of wastewater or stormwater treatment.
