EPS - Wetlands Delineation Services
All wetlands, whether on public or private property, are regulated by under the Clean Water Act. Specific guidelines are provided by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regarding permissible construction/development activities in wetlands. Soil type, particular plant species, and presence or signs of water all determine if a geographic area is a regulated wetland. Some wetlands are obvious and contain easily recognized plants such as Bald Cypress. Other wetlands are not so obvious and may only be categorized after careful analyses of the soils present.
EPS is certified to delineate wetlands. Our scientists can visit your project, collect data on soils, plants, and hydrology, and analyze these data to determine if wetlands are present. We can provide guidance on permitting as well as methods to minimize or avoid impacts to wetlands. Penalties are severe for altering wetlands without permission. Property owners should always evaluate a parcel for wetlands prior to development. EPS stands ready to provide this service as part of our comprehensive package of services.
