Activities typically involve excavation of upland <br />soils to elevation that will produce a wetland hydroperiod, create hydric soils, and support the growth of hydrophytic <br />plant species. Establishment results in a gain in wetland acres. <br />Reestablishment = The manipulation of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of a site with the goal of <br />returning natural or historic functions to a former wetland. Activities could include removing fill material, plugging
