Definition

Constructed lake Constructed lake means an artificial body of permanent open water that is generally land locked without a direct connection to tidal waterways with either an edge that may be fringed with emergent macrophytes or a hard edge. While submerged macrophytes may occur throughout the water column, the dominant feature is open water.

The definition of a constructed lake specifically excludes stormwater treatment measures including constructed wetlands and sediment ponds.
