§ 6111.316.
Sections 6111.31 to 6111.315 of the Revised Code do not apply to, and the director of environmental protection shall not impose any
additional requirements upon, an activity associated with an ephemeral feature that
is a water of the state if the activity is either of the following: (A) A restoration or enhancement project that will result in a net improvement of water
quality. Such projects may include a project under section 319 of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, an H2Ohio project, a water resource restoration sponsor program, a wetland
mitigation bank, or an in-lieu fee mitigation project. To qualify under this exception, a person shall submit a demonstration as part of
a mitigation proposal that the project will result in a net improvement in water quality. (B) A project for the filling or discharge of dredged material into an ephemeral feature
that is a water of the state that impacts three one-hundredths of an acre or less
of streambed. For purposes of this division, if culvert maintenance or replacement is involved
in the project, only an impact to an ephemeral feature that is a water of the state
that goes beyond the enclosed configuration of the existing culvert structure shall
be included in the calculation of the impacted streambed acreage.
