Wetlands are those areas, designated in accordance with the Washington State Wetland Identification and Delineation Manual (1997), that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. The town of South Prairie has a map, Figure 1, showing the approximate location and extent of wetlands. However, the map is only a guide, and will be updated as wetlands become better known. The exact location of a wetland’s boundary shall be determined in accordance with the above-stated manual as required by RCW 36.70A.175 (Ecology Publication No. 96-94, 1997).
