When you delineate wetlands without the proper training or experience,
you run the risk of regulatory and career repercussions. Wetlands training
can be difficult to grasp if you start your education in an advanced
course. Don’t make the mistake of jumping into the Methodology for
Delineating Wetlands course without first being exposed to the basic
principles of wetland delineation in this course!
This one-day combination classroom and field course, led by wetland
expert, Ralph Tiner will teach you the basics of wetland identification
and introduce you to the practice of wetland delineation. It will provide
the essential background material needed for further study in the field of
wetland delineation. Come review the skills you need to begin to identify
freshwater wetlands and their boundaries!
“Well worth the time and money! Informative and a good introduction.”
FEATURED TOPICS:
• Wetland definitions and concepts
• Wetland hydrology indicators
• Wetland vegetation - hydrophytic plant indicators
• Wetland soils - soil colors, hydric soil indicators
• Wetland types - wetland classification, wetland maps
• Review of wetland plant characteristics
Mail: Registration Desk, NJAES Office of Continuing Professional

How important is learning hydrology? Who ever heard of a dry wetland!
By understanding the hydrology, you will understand the distribution
and circulation of water in a wetland. If you are planning to delineate,
manage, or construct a wetland, you will need to be able to identify and
assess the movement of water.
This introductory one-day course with Dr. Claude Epstein (Professor
of Environmental Studies at Richard Stockton College) combines
classroom instruction with a hands-on field visit to provide you with
a basic understanding of how wetlands are created and sustained. In
the morning, you will review the connection between soil, water, and
vegetation which creates a wetland. After lunch, gain practical experience
using a soil auger to investigate hydrologic evidence for wetland
delineation, water table depth and evaluation, and Hydrogeomorphic
Models (HGM’s) identification.
FEATURED TOPICS:
• Saturated conditions
• Geochemical nature of wetlands
• Wetland soils and vegetation
• Wetland aeration zone
• Texture of muck moils
• Surface runoff accumulation
• Ponded and perched wetlands
• Unconfined ground water discharge
• Confined (Artesian) ground water discharge
• Hydrogeomorphic models (HGM’s)
• Field evidence for HGM-type diagnosis
“It (was) a real treat to hear from someone who has such a great
breadth of both technical and historical knowledge.”
POND DESIGN, MANAGEMENT AND MAINTENANCE
April 15, 2011 Course Code: EW0315CA11
$295 before 4/01/11; $325 after; $275 multiple
This one-day class, led by Dr. Stephen Souza, is meant for pond
owners, pond managers, landscape architects, engineers and anyone
involved with the design, management or maintenance of ponds. The
program is structured to help you make the proper decisions regarding
the appearance, function and up-keep of your pond. Starting with
design, you will learn how to build a pond through the construction
of embankments and dams as well as the selection and installation of
liners. Gain the knowledge necessary for creating and maintaining a
stable shoreline. Develop new skills for building and aquascaping littoral
benches. Discover ways in which to optimize your habitats for fish and
aquatic wildlife.
Long-term maintenance of ponds, whether constructed for stormwater,
irrigation, fishing or aesthetic purposes, is also crucial.
• Properly select, use and apply aquatic pesticides to control
invasive aquatic weeds and algae;
• Make use of non-pesticide, and other environmentally friendly
techniques to control invasive aquatic weeds and algae;
• Design and implement a dredging project, including the proper
navigation of the environmental rules and regulations; and,
• Correctly select, size and install various types of aeration systems.
“A wealth of information - well organized and presented ...
for anyone responsible for ponds, dams and waterways.”
AQUASCAPING AND BIOENGINEERING
Combine landscaping and evolving engineering solutions to correct
eroded shorelines, create and maintain stable and attractive vegetation
shorelines, and integrate native, non-invasive, easy to maintain, yet
attractive plant species into the design of retrofit or new ponds!
STORMWATER BASINS
NEW FOR 2011! Additional focus will be placed on the management
of stormwater basins with respect to MS4 compliance requirements -
covering inspections, maintenance, repair/enhancement and reporting/
record keeping.
