hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. (2) "Hydric soils" means soils that, in their undrained condition, are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing season to develop an anaerobic
condition that supports the growth and regeneration of hydrophytic vegetation. (3) "Hydrophytic vegetation" means a plant growing in water or a substrate that is at least periodically deficient of oxygen during the growing season as a result of
excess water content. Effective: July 13, 1990
