1. The Wetlands Protection District is hereby established which shall correspond to all lands within the
jurisdiction of the City of Duluth, Georgia that are mapped as wetland areas by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service National Wetlands Inventory Maps. This map shall be referred to as the Generalized Wetlands
Map and is hereby adopted by reference and declared to be a part of this Article, together with all
explanatory matter thereon and attached thereto.
2. The Generalized Wetlands Map does not represent the boundaries of jurisdictional wetlands within City
of Duluth and cannot serve as a substitute for a delineation of wetland boundaries by the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers, as required by Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, as amended. Any local government
action under this Code Division does not relieve the landowner from federal or state permitting
requirements.
