    Extractions: Virginia DEQ wetlands :: Wetlands information Wetlands The enactment of the Tidal Wetlands Act of 1972 gave the Virginia Marine Resources Commission the responsibility for issuing tidal wetlands permits under Chapters 12 and 13 of Title 28.2 of the Code of Virginia. While Chapter 12 activities permitted by Virginia Marine Resources Commission may require a separate Virginia Water Protection permit, Chapter 13 activities only require a separate Virginia Water Protection permit if § 401 Certification is required. Thus, DEQ provides the § 401 Certification through issuing a Virginia Water Protection permit. In some instances when a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nationwide or regional permit is also issued on the same Chapter 12 or 13 activities permitted by Virginia Marine Resources Commission, DEQ may provide the § 401 Certification through a letter agreement, thereby concurring that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit conditions meet State regulatory goals, or waive the requirement for a Virginia Water Protection permit altogether. The following certification letter and table summarizes DEQ's Section 401 Certification of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers nationwide and regional permits and any DEQ conditions that exist on the certification.

    Extractions: Stormwater Management Fact Sheet: Stormwater Wetland Description Stormwater wetlands (a.k.a. constructed wetlands) are structural practices similar to wet ponds (see Wet Ponds Fact Sheet) that incorporate wetland plants in a shallow pool. As stormwater runoff flows through the wetland, pollutant removal is achieved by settling and biological uptake within the practice. Wetlands are among the most effective stormwater practices in terms of pollutant removal, and also offer aesthetic value. While natural wetlands can sometimes be used to treat stormwater runoff that has been properly pretreated, stormwater wetlands are fundamentally different from natural wetland systems. Stormwater wetlands are designed specifically for the purpose of treating stormwater runoff, and typically have less biodiversity than natural wetlands both in terms of plant and animal life. There are several design variations of the stormwater wetland, each design differing in the relative amounts of shallow and deep water, and dry storage above the wetland. Applicability Wetlands are widely applicable stormwater treatment practices. While they have limited applicability in highly urbanized settings, and in arid climates, they have few other restrictions.

A Spotter's Guide for Wetland Visitors For Cleaner Water, Fewer Floods, Better Fishing Until recently, wetlands were often viewed as wastelands, useful only when drained for agriculture or filled for development. But now many of us recognize the importance of wetlands. Wetlands contribute to the social, economic and environmental health of our nation in many ways: By filtering pollutants, nutrients, and sediments, wetlands help protect water quality in our lakes, rivers, streams and wells. By storing runoff from heavy rains and snow melts, wetlands reduce flood damage. By providing essential habitat for fish, waterfowl and a variety of other animals, wetlands provide for recreational opportunities for state residents and visitors. By acting as a shoreline buffer, wetlands protect against erosion from waves and currents. By providing beautiful open spaces, wetlands enhance quality of life, property values and tourism.

    Extractions: Nature Home Wetlands Wetlands are areas that are saturated with surface water or near-surface groundwater for much of the year.  They usually have no clearly defined ecological boundaries, but are a gradient between deepwater habitats, such as lakes and rivers, and upland terrestrial ecosystems, such as conifer forests. Wetlands are differentiated from deepwater habitats by the presence of rooted emergent plants, and distinguished from uplands by nearly continuous soil saturation and the presence of water-tolerant (hydrophytic) vegetation communities and characteristically textured and colored wetland (hydric) soils. These wet soils may have rust colored mottling or be very black in appearance. Palustrine wetland with rooted emergent vegetation. Photo by Howard Weamer. Wetlands in Yosemite occur in valley bottoms throughout the park, and are often hydrologically linked to nearby lakes and rivers through seasonal flooding and groundwater movement.  Meadow habitats, distributed at elevations from 3,000 feet to 11,000 feet in the park, are generally wetlands, as are the riparian habitats found on the banks of Yosemite’s numerous streams and rivers.

    Extractions: Full Report (PDF 3985KB) Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs. An immense variety of species of microbes, plants, insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish, and mammals can be part of a wetland ecosystem. In Vermont, wetlands are defined as those areas of the state that are inundated by surface or ground water with a frequency sufficient to support plants and animals that depend on saturated or seasonally saturated soil conditions for growth and reproduction. Only 220,000 acres, or 4% of the land area in the state, have been identified as wetland. It has been estimated that since colonial times Vermont has lost more than 35% of its wetland acreage.

    Extractions: A wetland is an area of land covered by water or land that is waterlogged for long periods of time during the growing season. Many wetlands are difficult to identify because they may be dry for most of the year, but during a substantial part of the growing season, there is far to much water for the land to absorb thus creating standing pools of water or saturated soil. Wetlands may also be referred to as swamps, marshes, or bogs according to the type of soil and plant life they contain. Tim Daniel ~ ODW Swamps and marshes both occur in low-lying areas near rivers or on flat areas along coasts between the high and low watermarks. Both swamps and marshes have mineral soils because they have access to mineral-rich groundwater. Barred owls, tree frogs, leopard frogs, garter snakes, herons and ducks, are just a few types of wildlife that may be abundant in the wetlands, depending on the diversity of the wetland's plant life. Wetland plant life consists of grasses, flowers and trees. The Ohio Wetlands Foundation

    Extractions: About 916,000 acres, or 19% of New Jersey, is wetlands, which seems like a lot; but the bad news is that about 40% of the original 1,500,000 acres has been lost to dredging and filling, dams, farming, development and highways. There are many types of wetlands, including swamps and ponds (Above, left), cattail marshes (Above, right) and temporary wetlands. Students prepare to construct a classroom wetland using plants that are cultivated in farmed wetlands (Onions and celery). In North Jersey, these altered wetlands are called "muck-farms." Ponds and open water gradually fill in and over time, many become marshes (Wetlands with grasses) or swamps (Wetlands with trees). When wetlands are filled for houses, many valuable species of plants and animals lose habitat. Also, wetland trees like the bald cypress and willow remove water much faster than grass, so the soil stays wet if it becomes lawn.

    Extractions: Why Wetlands Are Important Wetlands are areas of land that are covered with water at least part of the year and contain plants and animals that are adapted to these conditions. Wetlands are one of the most biologically diverse systems in the world and can be compared to tropical rain forests and coral reefs in the diversity of species they support. Wetlands Are Important Wetlands, also called bogs, swamps and marshes, are vital to the Rouge River Watershed. Wetlands provide many benefits including: water quality improvements; food and habitat for fish and wildlife; flood control and shoreline erosion control; and recreation. Water Quality Improvements Wetlands improve water quality by filtering out pollutants before they reach the river. These pollutants include nutrients and sediments. Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizers, contribute a large amount of pollution to the Rouge River. Excess nutrients contribute to increased algae growth, which reduces the amount of oxygen in the water. Wetlands can filter as much as 91% of the phosphorus and 86% of the nitrogen.
