it is at least interesting that it is possible to build a structure that
will be very likely to have standing water in the crawl space for at least
a couple of months each years because it was constructed in a seasonal
wetland.

Part of permit research is determining if the site is within a floodplain or floodway. If so, no permit can be issued until a Conditional Use permit is applied for and granted. Even then, the house must be raised above Base Flood Elevation.
