Wetland Delineations

The Corps of Engineers receives thousands of requests each year to perform wetland delineations for potential applicants for permits under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Due to limited staff and resources, the response time can be several months or longer. To expedite this process, the District encourages applicants to use consultants to conduct preliminary wetland delineations, especially for large and/or complex areas. The delineation may then be submitted to the Distirct for review and verification.
