WETLAND REVIEW CHECKLIST
GENERAL INFORMATION
This handout is for all activities proposed in or adjacent to regulated wetland areas. Section 38.610 BMC includes the wetland
regulations for the City of Bozeman. The regulations provide specific guidelines and methods to identify whether an area is a
wetland and to determine the boundary between wetlands and uplands. The City’s wetland regulations apply to both wetlands
with direct hydrologic connection to “waters of the U.S.” and to isolated wetlands with no direct connection to a water of the U.S.
and that exhibit positive wetlands indicators for all three wetland parameters.
