020-1 Wyo. Code R. § 1-12
Point or nonpoint sources of pollution shall not cause the destruction, damage, or impairment of naturally occurring wetlands except when mitigated through an authorized wetlands mitigation process When approving mitigation, the department may consider both the ecological functions and the wetland value of the disturbed wetland.
This section does not apply to wetlands created by point or nonpoint sources, nor are such wetlands required to be maintained through continuation of such discharges. Similarly, any man-made wetlands or enhancements which have been credited in the state wetland banking program are not required to be maintained until the credit is used for mitigation purposes. These areas will, however, be protected from discharges of wastes, toxic substances or chemical pollutants as are any other waters of the state.
