Amends the definition of Class I wetland to provide that, to be categorized as a Class I wetland, a wetland must be determined by a hydrologist to possess no significant hydrologic function. Defines "hydrologic function" as the capacity of a wetland to store floodwaters by spreading water out over a large, flat area, which decreases runoff velocity, reduces flood peaks, and distributes stormflows over longer time periods. Provides that a wetland that meets the other conditions of the definition of "Class I wetland" but is not determined by a hydrologist to possess no significant hydrologic function is a Class II wetland. Provides that, for purposes of the law on state regulated wetlands, the existence of a wetland and the wetland class of a wetland shall be determined through use of: (1) the National Wetlands Inventory produced by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and made available by the department of environmental management on the Internet for public use; and (2) the soil data and other information available through the Web Soil Survey website operated by the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture.
Removes the definition of "coal combustion residuals" from its current location and relocates it to the comprehensive definitions chapter of the environmental law title of the Indiana Code. Defines "structural fill" as a material that is free of rocks and organic matter and, because it is very stable, can be used in construction to create a base or foundation for a structure. Prohibits the use of coal combustion residuals as structural fill unless the coal combustion residuals are fully encapsulated in cement or concrete. Makes a corresponding amendment in a provision prohibiting the environmental rules board from adopting a rule prohibiting the use of coal combustion residuals as structural fill or as a base in road construction.
