State Wetlands Information Tool (SWIFT)
Most states have enacted laws and regulations to protect wetlands. In many cases, these rules are established to define the state's role in the permit process. However, some state laws have other impacts. For example, states may adopt a definition of wetlands or regulated activities that are different than the federal definitions. This could for example, qualify an area as a wetland that does not meet the federal definition. SWIFT is an interactive tool to help you find out more about your state's rules.
