Inland Wetlands Agency

The Inland Wetlands Agency (IWA) is responsible by state law to protect our inland wetlands and watercourses. Wetlands are defined by state law, and include certain soils that are poorly or very poorly drained alluvial (found along a watercourse or water body) or floodplain soils. Depending upon the location of the resource, the IWA regulates areas either 100 feet or 250 feet "upland" of these resources, as well as "direct" impacts to wetlands and watercourses. The IWA does this via permits for "regulated activitie" and through enforcement of the regulations by field inspections, cease and desist orders, and if necessary, by fines.
