13allowed if those impacts are anticipated to be temporary.

23the fact that voluntary hydrologic restoration projects differ from projects with
24potential adverse environmental impacts.
AB68,619,2
15. Waive requirements related to wetland mitigation for impacts incidental to
2more fully restoring wetland hydrology.
AB68,619,83 (e) The department shall notify, in writing, a person who has applied under s.
430.206 (3) (a) for authorization to proceed under a general permit issued under this
5subsection that the person is required to apply for an individual permit if the
