<br />(State CEQA Guidelines Section 15155.)
<br />11.84 "Waterway" means a bay, estuary, lake, pond, river, slough, or a perennial,
<br />intermittent, or ephemeral stream, lake, or estuarine -marine shoreline.
<br />11.85 "Wetlands" has the same meaning as that term is construed in the regulations issued
<br />by the United States Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to the Clean Water Act.
<br />Thus, "wetlands" means areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground
<br />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
<br />saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and
<br />similar areas. (Public Resources Code Section 21159.21(d), incorporating Title 33,
<br />Code of Federal Regulations, Section 328.3.)
<br />11.86 "Wildlife Habitat" means the ecological communities upon which wild animals,
<br />birds, plants, fish, amphibians, and invertebrates depend for their conservation and
<br />protection. (Public Resources Code Section 21159.21.)
