The purpose of the Wetlands Zone, also known as the W – Zone, is to recognize, define, and map areas within the Town of Amalga that are either covered with water or have a high enough water table so as to render building thereon impossible or highly impractical. It should also identify areas, which regularly flood.
While the zone itself may not be defined in exactly the manner as Federal or State definitions of wetland, one of its purposes is to help the Town to comply with Federal and State prohibitions and regulations regarding development within wetlands
