(14)   The Commission shall presume that all areas meeting the definition of vernal pool, including the adjacent area known as “vernal pool habitat”, perform essential habitat functions. This presumption may be overcome only by the presentation of credible evidence which, in the judgment of the Commission, by a preponderance of the evidence demonstrates that the basin or depression or surrounding area does not provide essential habitat functions. Any formal evaluation should be performed by an individual who at least meets the qualifications under the wildlife habitat Section of the Wetlands Protection Act Regulations (310 CMR 10.60).
