Wetlands Determination &
Delineation
Wetlands provide natural flood protection,
improvement in water quality, and a habitat for
wildlife. Wetlands are inundated or saturated
areas from surface or groundwater, that under
normal circumstances, support a prevalence of
vegetation that is typically adapted for life in
saturated soils such as the obvious cattails and
lily pads. Less obvious wetlands include
grassy meadows, shrubby fields, and mature
forests.
The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers and state and
local governments protect these wetlands with
regulations and ordinances.
This becomes critical when purchasing or
developing a property.
Wetland Determination
A Wetland Determination identifies the
presence or absence of regulated wetlands,
defining approximate boundaries and size. A
field survey in conjunction with a review of
available documentation is completed by an
experienced professional.
Wetland Delineations
A Wetland Delineation identifies
non-wetland and wetland boundaries on a property
with photographic documentation of the findings.
Soil samples are collected and vegetation and
hydrology evaluated to verify these
boundaries.
Any area found to meet the criteria of a
jurisdictional wetland is surveyed with findings
submitted to the ACOE and other regulatory
agencies, if necessary.
