Cattails are persistent growers because they have roots nearly 3 feet long.
Kinda like poison ivy --- repeated mowing will eventually kill them.

It's just a fact concerning digging in ditches if you read the article.
Caveat: I am merely an old-dirt appraiser. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Inventory maps (NWIs) provides an indication of maybe whether regulatory wetlands are present. But those maps are not a delineation of regulatory wetlands, which can only be approved by the District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers within which the property lies. Remember that the EPA prosecutes unauthorized wetlands impacts, and have sent some to federal prison for such.
Here's the URL to the NWIs. It can be slow loading.
