Course Code: EH0102CA09 Do not make the mistake of jumping into the Methodology for Delineating Wetlands course without first being exposed to the basic principles of wetland identification. This one-day combination classroom and field course will teach you the basics of wetland identification and introduce you to the practice of wetland delineation. You will review the skills you need to begin to identify freshwater wetlands and their boundaries. This course will also provide the essential background material needed for further study in the field of wetland delineation.

The Wetland Delineation Certificate is awarded to participants who attend and successfully complete assignments for Vegetation Identification and Methodology for Delineating Wetlands. You cannot delineate a wetland without experience identifying wetland plants. When you enroll in the series, you should complete the Vegetation Identification course prior to attending the Methodology for Delineating Wetlands course. SEE NEXT PAGE.

Learn how to recognize key indicators of wetlands (hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils and other signs of wetland hydrology) and how to use them to follow the delineation methods outlined in the manual. Immediately apply criteria learned in the classroom while performing wetland determinations during team field exercises.
Features of Wetland Indicators • Vegetation: Analyze plant communities and identify dominant plants 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

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.
NOTE: The Corps Regional supplements for the Atlantic Coastal Plain and Northeast-Northcentral Regions will not be covered in this class. If you are interested in learning more about these supplements, please register for our Advanced Wetland Delineation class in the spring. Call for details.

A wetland construction project requires extensive knowledge and years of experience. Gain that knowledge and consult an expert who has experience of successful and unsuccessful construction projects. You will have not only earned an education but also invaluable consulting time. Learn the techniques of successful wetland mitigation planning and construction recommended by the National Research Council and the US Army Corps of Engineers. Spend time in the field visiting a constructed wetland.
The depth, duration and timing of water are the controlling factors in determining which plant communities will ultimately inhabit your constructed wetland. The single biggest mistake in botched wetland construction projects is failure to understand the source and quantity of water feeding your site. Through classroom-based instruction, you will discover NINE different ways to build a wetland. More importantly, you will learn how to calculate the quantity of water going into your water budget for each type during an in-class design project.
Featured Topics Origins of “Mitigation” • Regulatory Standards (federal/state/local) • Implementation/Execution • Hydrology, Vegetation, Soils • Vandalism, Herbivory, or Drought • Functions vs. Values • Water Budgets and Hydrodynamics • Hydrogeomorphic (HGM) Approach
Featured Topics Calculating Water Budgets • TR-55 Runoff Curves • Hydrologic Conditions and Wetland Plants • Direct Precipitation • Groundwater Runoff and Stream Flows • Infiltration Rates • Thornthwaite Method for Evapotranspiration • High-water Points for Ungauged Streams
