Drainage Canals or Ditches

109.01 Must not be extended through coastal wetlands or tidally-influenced marshes (except where land subsidence has severely lowered the developed lands). Rather, they must terminate at the landward edge of the coastal wetlands or tidally-influenced marshes, to allow filtration through the coastal wetlands.

109.02 A spreader canal, or a canal designed to disperse water over the landscape in more natural sheet flow, may be used along the uplands adjacent to marsh.
