TITLE: Difficult scenarios in wetland delineation
ABSTRACT:
Wetland delineations can be challenging in areas of recent or past disturbances, current land use, or due to natural settings or processes, which may limit observable wetland indicators. In this session, we will discuss some common problematic or atypical situations seen in Wisconsin and methods for interpretation in line with Chapter 5 of the Northcentral-Northeast and Midwest Regional Supplements to the Corps Manual. Example sites will be used to collectively evaluate and illustrate the intricacies of this practice.
