WETLAND DELINEATION AND PERMITTING SERVICES PROVIDED BY NRSI

1987 Manual Definition of wetlands used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for regulatory purposes(Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual, Jan. 1987, p.13):

"Those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas."


Wetland Scene NRSI Wetland Permitting Services:
Our chief scientist has over 15 years of experience with wetland delineations, permitting, permit mitigation, and conflict resolution and over 30 years of experience in ecology and field biology. Our field delineators have completed U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Regulatory Training Courses and EPA courses and are certified as Professional Wetland Scientists by the Society of Wetland Scientists. We have also received ecological qualification by the Georgia Department of Transportation and consultant qualification for environmentally sensitive property by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Environmental Protection Division. We have a variety of experience in the planning and construction of projects involving wetlands so we are familiar with regulatory and environmental perspectives as well as the problems facing contractors, developers and governmental agencies when confronted with Section 404 permitting and NEPA assessments.
