| Title: |
Ordinary high-water line is the line that water impresses on the land distinguishing the area below the line from that above it. |
| Text: |
"'Ordinary high-water line' shall mean the line that water impresses on the land by covering it for sufficient periods to cause physical characteristics that distinguish the area below the line from the area above it. Characteristics of the area below the line include, when appropriate, but are not limited to, deprivation of the soil of substantially all terrestrial vegetation and destruction of its agricultural vegetative value. A flood plain adjacent to surface waters is not considered to lie within the surface waters' ordinary high-water line." |
