' <br /> , Modifier "G" <br /> Intermittently Exposed <br /> ' Surface water is present throughout the year except in years of extreme drought (Cowardin et al <br /> l 979, pg 22; Santos and Gauster 1993, pg 3]). Type 4 wetlands fall into this category. <br /> � Modifier "H" <br /> Permanently Flooded (Permanent) <br /> Water covers the land surface throughout the year in all years. Vegetation is composed of obligate <br /> � hydrophytes (Cowardin et al 1979, pg 22). <br /> I Modifier"J" <br /> Intermittentiv Flooded <br /> The substrate is usually exposed,but surface water is present for variable periods without detectable <br /> ' seasonal periodicity. Weeks, months, or years may intervene between periods of inundation. The <br /> dominant plant communities may change as soil moisture conditions change. According to Cowardin <br /> et al (1979, pg 22) "Some areas exhibiting this regime do not fall within our definition of wetland <br /> � becaLise they do not have hydric soils or support hydrophytes." Some of the areas in agricultural <br /> fields that have been flooded during the sprin� and early summer of 2003 and 2004, following <br /> periods of intense and persistent rainfall, may well fall into this category and may not in fact be <br /> � subject to regulation as a wetland. <br /> Modifier"K" <br /> � Artificially Flooded (Artificial) <br /> The amount and duration of flooding is controlled by means of pumps or siphons in combination <br /> � with dikes or dams. Water and wastewater treatment facilities are included under this category.This <br /> definition does not appear to include stormwater ponds. <br /> ' Modifier "Z" <br /> Intermittently Exposed/Permanent (No comparable Cowardin category� <br /> Exhibits features of both Intermittently Exposed and Permanent water regimes (Santos and Gauster <br /> � 1993, pg 31). <br /> Modifier "W" <br /> � Intermittently Flooded/Temporary (No comparable Cowardin cate�ory� <br /> Exhibits features of both Intermittently Flooded and Temporary water regimes(Santos and Gauster <br /> ]993, pg 32). <br /> � Modi�er "Y" <br /> Saturated/Semipermanent/Seasonal (No comparable Cowardin category� <br /> � Exhibits features of the Saturated, Semipermanent and Seasonal water regimes(Santos and GausCer <br /> 1993, pg 32). <br /> � <br /> � Svoboda Ecological Resources 744 Brown Road lVorth <br /> Project No.: 2007-081-03 36 Ted Schultze <br /> � <br />
