REVISION NOTE #1:
Document #5185, effective 7-23-91, changed the heading of Chapter Wt 600 from "Coastal Wetlands" to "Tidal Wetlands". Doc. #5185 also repealed Parts Wt 602, 603, 604, 605, and 607. The rules in these parts were amended and incorporated into Chapter Wt 300 by Document #5186, effective 7-23-91. See Revision Note #1 at the chapter heading for Chapter Env-Wt 300.
REVISION NOTE #2:
Document #5551, effective 1-5-93, repealed Part Wt 601 entitled "Definitions." Many of the definitions contained in former Part Wt 601 had been earlier amended and incorporated by Document #5536, effective 12-23-92, into Part Wt 101 entitled "Definitions." See Revision Note #1 at the part heading for Part Env-Wt 101. The prior filings for former Part Wt 601 included the following documents:
#2923, eff 12-10-84
#4297, eff 7-23-87
#5028, eff 12-20-90
Please note that some of the rules in former Part Wt 601 were out of effect between 12-10-90 and 12-20-90.
REVISION NOTE #3:
Pursuant to a rules reorganization plan approved by the Director of the Office of Legislative Services on September 7, 2005, Department rules in Wt 600 filed under Document #8341, effective 4-25-05, were editorially renumbered subsequently with subtitle Env-Wt denoting the wetlands program area. The title Wt was discontinued.
REVISION NOTE #4:
Document #12806, effective 12-15-19, adopted or readopted with amendment all of the rules in Chapter Env-Wt 600, and changed the chapter heading from "Tidal Wetlands" to "Coastal Lands and Tidal Waters/Wetlands."
The former Chapter Env-Wt 600 established minimal criteria for structures in tidal waters where the criteria differ from those for structures in non-tidal waters. Before Document #12806 was effective, most of the requirements specifically applicable to coastal/tidal projects were contained throughout the rules under the Env-Wt subtitle. Document #12806 consolidated those requirements into Chapter Env-Wt 600, which also includes more specific requirements for what must be submitted for projects in coastal areas, similar to Env-Wt 500 for projects in non-tidal areas. This consolidation included readopting with amendment and renumbering several definitions from Chapter Env-Wt 100 to Chapter Env-Wt 600.
Document #12806 replaces all prior filings for rules in the former Chapters Wt 600 and Env-Wt 600.
The prior filings for former Chapter Wt 600 up through Document #8341, effective 4-25-05, included the following documents:
#2923, eff 12-11-84
#3077, eff 7-26-85

#4506, eff 10-13-88
