How a delineation works

01

Field delineation

We walk the site and identify jurisdictional wetlands, streams, creeks, tributaries, lakes and ponds, following the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and its Midwest Regional Supplement.

02

Marking and mapping

Boundaries are marked in the field with flags or ribbons and transferred to maps using local landmarks, so your engineer can plan around them.

03

Permitting

We prepare the delineation report and, when needed, the Section 404 permit application, and coordinate with the agencies through approval.
