Quick View  \nDescription of State’s Wetlands  \nThe five most common freshwater-wetland cover types in New York, in order of area, are flooded deciduous trees (palustrine forested wetland); flooded shrubs (palustrine scrub-shrub wetland); flooded coniferous trees (palustrine forested wetland); drained muckland, which is not considered wetland under the Cowardin and others (1979) classification system; and emergents (palustrine emergent wetlands or lacustrine or riverine nonpersistent-emergent wetlands) .  \nState Definition of Wetlands  \nState law emphasizes vegetation in the definitions for freshwater and tidal wetlands, which are offered in separate statutes.  \nFreshwater wetlands are defined as “lands and submerged lands commonly known as marshes, swamps, sloughs, bogs, and flats which support wetland vegetation,” with further provisions for what constitutes wetland vegetation. The law does also require the presence of “seasonal or permanent flooding or sufficiently water-logged soils” to determine whether facultative vegetation should be considered as wetland vegetation and describes instances where an area is considered a wetland, although wetland vegetation may be absent: (a) permanently wet conditions which contain dead upland vegetation; (b) areas substantially enclosed by wetlands; and (c) the waters which overlie any wetland area.4 Additional provisions are given to freshwater wetlands falling inside the Adirondack Park, a six million acre patchwork of public and private land protected understate law. Within the boundaries of the park,“wetlands” are defined as “any land which is annually subject to periodic or continual inundation by water and commonly referred to as a bog, swamp, or marsh…”  \nTidal wetlands are defined as “those areas which border on or lie beneath tidal waters, such as, but not limited to, banks, bogs, salt marsh, swamps, meadows, flats or other low lands subject to tidal action, including those areas now or formerly connected to tidal waters,” and “all banks, bogs,  \nmeadows, flats, and tidal marsh subject to such tides, and upon which grow or may grow some or any of the following: salt hay, black grass, saltworts, sea lavender, tall cordgrass, hightide bush, cattails, groundsel, marsh mallow, and the intertidal zone including low marsh cordgrass.”  \nHistoric Wetland Loss/Gain  \n\n| Original Wetland Acreage | Remaining Wetland Acreage | Acreage Lost | % Lost |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 2,562,000 | 1,025,000 | 1,537,000 | -60% |\n\nPrimary State Wetlands Webpage  \n• Freshwater Wetlands: [http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4937.html](http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4937.html)  \n• Tidal Wetlands: [http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4940.html](http://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4940.html)  \nState Wetland Program Plan  \nNew York does not currently have a state wetland program plan.  \nNo Net Loss/Net Gain Goal  \nThere is no formal goal in statute, but there is a goal embodied in the SWCP to maintain the quality and quantity of the state’s freshwater wetland resource. Further it is the goal of the state to increase the quantity and quality of the tidal wetlands resource, and where feasible and desirable, its freshwater wetlands resource.  \nState Resources for Wetland Work  \n\n| State\u003Cbr>Name | Core element \\#1: Regulation | Core Element \\#2: Monitoring and Assessment | Core Element \\#3: Wetland Water Quality Standards | Core Element \\#4: Voluntary Wetland Restoration |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Agency | Department of Environmental Conservation | None | None | Department of Environmental Conservation |\n| Source(s) | Unavailable |  |  |  |\n| Amount | Unavailable |  |  | Small amount of work by state in the Montezuma Area |\n| Staffing | Some work in habitat, wildlife and environmental permit sections |  |  | \u003C1 FTE |\n\nState Permitting Fees  \n\n| State Permitting Fee | State Name |\n| --- |","cbCaisohKxtlRDIQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisohKxtlRDIQ","pdf",294759,"English","# Section A.
