				access road, not to exceed a total size of 2 acres of impervious surface
				located entirely in uplands; at-grade access trails located entirely in
				uplands; restroom buildings and open-air shelters located entirely in uplands;

				shall be placed in, on, or over wetlands or other surface waters, except
				pilings for pile-supported boardwalks and observation platforms. All structures
				located in, on, or over wetlands and other surface waters shall be sited and
				constructed to minimize wetland impacts and the removal of trees having a
				diameter at breast height of 4 inches or greater. To minimize shading of
				wetland vegetation, all pile-supported boardwalks and observation platforms
				located in, on, or over wetlands and other surface waters shall be elevated at
				least two feet above mean high water for tidal waters, at least two feet above
				seasonal high water for non-tidal waters, or four feet above ground surface,
				whichever is greater. The total area pile-supported structures over wetlands
				and other surface waters shall not exceed 10, 000 square feet.

				surfaces shall sheet flow into uplands. Impervious surfaces shall be no more
				than one percent of the total acreage of the public natural area, not to exceed
				a total size of 2 acres of impervious surface. If pervious or semi-impervious
				surfaces or materials are used, the maximum area of roads, parking lots,
