In cooperation with other State, local, and federal agencies, the Department may prepare comprehensive watershed management plans which address nontidal wetland protection, creation, and restoration, cumulative impacts, flood protection, and water supply concerns. Completed watershed management plans will be used as the basis for consistent permitting decisions and creating and restoring nontidal wetlands.
