<br />attributes:
<br />
<br />a. A predominance of hydric soils;
<br />
<br />b. Inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration
<br />sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in a
<br />saturated soil condition; and
<br />
<br />c. Under normal circumstances support a prevalence of such vegetation.
