It is the purpose of this chapter to promote public health, safety, and general welfare through the conservation and restoration of nontidal wetlands, which provide significant public value and critical ecological functions through the mitigation and prevention of flood damage, provision of wildlife habitat, removal of pollutants from water resources, and reduction in costs for governments, residents, and businesses that result when wetlands are degraded.
