Federal manual for identifying and delineating jurisdictional wetlands 1989

Improvements in the scientific understanding of wetlands since and refinement of regulatory practice through experience over almost a decade of intensive wetland regulation suggest that a new federal delineation manual should be. The "Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual" and the "Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands" described three criteria for delineating wetlands: hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Evidence of all three parameters should be present before an area is considered to be a wetland subject to . 8 rows · Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands: Proposed Digitized: .

The item Federal manual for identifying and delineating jurisdictional wetlands: an interagency cooperative publication, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers [and others] represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Indiana State Library. The "Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual" and the "Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands" described three criteria for delineating wetlands: hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Evidence of all three parameters should be present before an area is considered to be a wetland subject to Federal jurisdiction. Since the manual included wetland hydrology requirements within the hydric soil criterion, and the delineation methods relied on hydric soil properties to delineate the wetland boundary, some users got the impression that the manual was not based on three mandatory criteria, but rather based solely on one criterion - the hydric soil criterion (since it, in fact, embodied the wetland hydrology criterion).
