Field Work

2 Days - $395

(Take the Seminar or Field Practicum separately for $250 each) 

 

The Corps has been releasing a series of Regional Supplements to the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual. By 2010, they will be required for conducting wetland delineations for Clean Water Act purposes in most of the nation. This seminar is designed for wetland delineators already trained in the 1987 Manual who want to get specifics on how to use the Regional Supplements and how their fieldwork will be affected.

Lectures include background on the Supplements, differentiation between "regions," explanation and comparison of changes, understanding of problematic situations, review of the new field indicators of hydric soils and hydrology, examples, and opportunity for discussion.

The Field Practicum provides experience and practical application of the new indicators and procedures. Participants will apply the vegetation indicators, describe redoximorphic features, use field indicators of hydric soils, and document wetland hydrology, using the appropriate regional data form.

Participants will receive Lecture Notes, a Pocket Guide to Hydric Soil Field Indicators, and a CD with the available Regional Supplements, version 6.0 of the NRCS Field Indicators of Hydric Soils, National List of Plant Species that Occur in Wetlands. Class ends at 5:00 P.M each day.

Instructor pool: Newling, R. Pierce, Scoles, Teaford, Whited.
