Adopted rule summary:

These amendments revise the definition of “wetland” in DEP’s rules to ensure continuity as the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) amends its freshwater wetlands regulations (6 NYCRR Part 664) (“NYSDEC Amendments”) to align the State rules with amendments to the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act (codified at Article 24 New York State Environmental Conservation Law) (“Article 24 Amendments”) which took effect on January 1, 2025
