Wetlands Delineation and Management

Wetlands are transitional lands between terrestrial and aquatic systems which are inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support hydrophytic vegetation and develop hydric soils.

Developments on wetlands are governed by federal and state laws. Section 404 of the Clean Water Act of 1972 is one of the most important federal regulatory programs for protecting wetlands and other waters of the US. The presence of wetlands can either be a fatal flaw for development, or it can be merely a development constraint which can be successfully dealt with thorough mitigation or design modification.

We develop action plans to maintain and to recover wetland quality, to protect wetland-development species and to provide technical assistance in wetlands restoration and enhancement. GEO works closely with the US Corps of Engineers and assists clients in mitigation and in obtaining land development permits.
