Wetlands Delineation Survey Advantages

New York Surveying Team

In general, a wetlands delineation location survey is a survey that gets completed when construction work is to be done on or near a site containing defined wetlands. There are rules and factors that go into each survey of this method. The definition of wetlands are usually classified as an area that is completely inundated with water more than two weeks during the growing season. However, this ultimately comes down to the local, state, and/or federal regulations for the wetlands. There is no umbrella treatment and these areas are handled on a case-by-case basis.

• Save money and time by delineating jurisdictional wetlands.
• With the conduction of a wetlands delineation survey, the project may be able to go on without an Environmental Assessment and Determination if the bodies of water were delineated accurately on the permit.
• Speeds up overall process by eliminating delays caused by preparing and obtaining EADs for projects that do not require them.
• Ensures that there are no violations of the Clean Water Act or a state's water quality standards.
• Provides information about nearby downstream waterways.

• This survey provides information about the hydrology of the area before and after the construction. This way there is no disturbance to the body of water.

Leave It To The Pros!

When it comes to handling a wetlands delineation location survey, specialized knowledge is needed in order to properly delineate jurisdictional wetlands. This is why this survey is left to the pros, like us, who have special training in this field. This is a time-consuming survey and requires constant supervision in order to remain accurate. Due to the constraints of getting the data, this survey is one of the longer types of land surveys to complete. The time between fieldwork and the final report is anywhere between two and five months. And since it takes a long time to complete, that makes it one of the more expensive surveys to conduct. But it may be a necessary hurdle to overcome due to the overall importance of a wetlands delineation location survey.
