Wetlands are areas where the frequent and prolonged presence of water at or near the soil surface drives the natural system, meaning the kind of soils that form, the plants that grow and the fish and/or wildlife communities that use the habitat. Because wetlands are protected under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, any proposed development activities near or on wetlands must go through a regulation and permit process.
Accurately locating the boundaries of a wetland before the start of a project can prevent penalties and delays from the Department of Environmental Protection, who regulates the “Waters of the United States and Commonwealth."
To determine and classify wetlands in an area, our environmental scientist has been trained using “The United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual 1987 and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region version 2.0 (April 2012)”
