Learn the methods of the experts! This four-day course will introduce
you to delineating wetlands using the Federal Interagency Wetland
Delineation Manual, which is required for use in New Jersey. Techniques
taught will also be applicable to individuals interested in using the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual as well.
Recognize the key indicators of wetlands (hydrophytic vegetation, hydric
soils and other signs of wetland hydrology) while instructors Ralph Tiner
and Dr. Peter Veneman show you how to use them in following proper
delineation methods. Immediately apply criteria learned in the classroom
by performing wetland determinations during team field exercises.
Vegetation: Analyze plant communities and identify dominant plant
and indicators of hydrophytic vegetation
Soils: Identify sandy and non-sandy hydric soils based on the
National List of hydric soil field indicators
Hydrology: Recognize direct and indirect indicators
