Questions

Wetland Delineation Report: what people ask

Does a nationwide permit notice need a delineation?

Yes. It must include a delineation of wetlands, other special aquatic sites and other waters on the site, done with the Corps' current method. The 45-day review clock doesn't start until the delineation is in.

What makes an area a wetland?

Inundation or saturation by surface or ground water often and long enough to support, and that normally does support, vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil. Swamps, marshes and bogs are examples.

Where do plant indicator ratings come from?

From the National Wetland Plant List, an effort led by the Army Corps of Engineers that rates each species' wetland indicator status by region.
