Intentionally created wetland or surface water systems definition
Intentionally created wetland or surface water systems means wetlands or surface water systems created through purposeful human action, such as irrigation and drainage ditches, grass- lined swales, canals, farm ponds, detention/retention facilities, and landscape/ornamental amenities. Purposeful creation must be demonstrated through documentation, photographs, statements and/or other evidence. Intentionally created wetlands or surface water systems do not include areas or systems created as mitigation.
