<br />Waters of the UniIed States include: <br /> <br />. All waters which are currently used, or were used in the past, or may be susceptible to <br />use in interstate or foreign commerce, including all waters which are subject to the ebb <br />and flow of tide <br /> <br />. All interstate waters including interstate wetlands <br /> <br />. All other waters such as intrastate lakes, rivers, streams (including intermittent streams), <br />mudflats, sandflats, wetlands, sloughs, prairie potholes, vernal pools, wet meadows, playa <br />lakes, or natural ponds, the use, degredation or destruction of which could affect <br />inttistaic or foreign commerce <br /> <br />. Tributaries of the above <br /> <br />. Territorial seas <br /> <br />. Wetlands adjacent to waters defined above (Note: "adjacent wetlands" differs from <br />"isolated wetlands," discussed herein) <br /> <br />Federal jurisdictional wetlands are defined as those areas that are inundated or saturated by <br />surface water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal <br />circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil <br />conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, bogs, vernal pools, seeps, marshes, and similar <br />areas. However, a formal wetland delineation following the federal method and a subsequent <br />verification by a United States Army Corps of Engineers representative is the only way to <br />determine the extent of the United States Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction over potential <br />wetlands and waters. <br /> <br />Sycamore Associates LLC - Regulatory Permitting Implications <br /> <br />2 <br />
