    1.  As used in this title, the term "freshwater wetlands", in addition
  to its meaning  under  section  24-0107  of  this  article,  shall  mean
  "wetlands"  as  defined  in  subdivision  sixty-eight  of  section eight
  hundred two of article twenty-seven of the executive law.
    2. Where the activities otherwise subject  to  regulation  under  this
  article involve freshwater wetlands located within the boundaries of the
  Adirondack park, the inquiries referred to and the applications provided
  for  in  section 24-0703 of this article shall be made to and filed with
  the Adirondack park  agency  at  its  headquarters  office,  under  such
  regulations and procedures as the Adirondack park agency may promulgate.
  The  Adirondack park agency shall review the application in place of the
  commissioner or local government as provided in section 24-0705 of  this
  article,  having  due regard for the declaration of policy and statement
  of findings set forth in this article and  for  the  considerations  set

  shall in addition determine prior to the granting of any permit that the
  proposed activity will be consistent with the Adirondack park  land  use
  and development plan and would not have an undue adverse impact upon the
  natural, scenic, aesthetic, ecological, wildlife, historic, recreational
  or  open  space  resources of the park, taking into account the economic
  and social or other benefits to be derived from the activity. Any person
  may seek review of a ruling made solely pursuant to  the  provisions  of
  this article by the Adirondack park agency pursuant to the provisions of
  title  eleven  of  this  article  or  article seventy-eight of the civil
  practice law and rules.
