Environmental Concern (EC) is inviting students and professionals new to the field of wetland science, as well as those in need of a refresher, to attend a 5-day (40-hour) Basic Wetland Delineation Course. This course meets the requirements for basic wetland delineation training specified by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. The 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and Regional Supplement will be used during the training. The course covers the Clean Water Act Section 404 regulations, updated regulation changes, and individual wetland parameters including vegetation, soils, and hydrology. Instructors from EC will lead participants through wetland delineation field procedures, including the completion of the Regional Supplement Data Forms. The course is divided into 16 hours of in-class time and 24 hours of in-person field experience.
