26 CAR § 260-101. Purpose

        26 CAR § 260-101. Purpose.

        (a) Wetlands and riparian zones provide the state with significant benefits in the areas of:

                (1) Flood control;

                (2) Water quality enhancement;

                (3) Sediment reduction;

                (4) Fish and wildlife habitat;

                (5) Recreation; and

                (6) Recharging of groundwater.

        (b) The state continues to experience significant loss of wetlands.

        (c) Since the majority of lands suitable for wetlands and riparian zones are held by private owners, the state has developed this program to encourage these owners to:

                (1) Restore and enhance existing wetlands and riparian zones;

                (2) Create new wetlands and riparian zones; or

                (3) Donate wetland and riparian zone-qualified real property interests.
