湿地描绘是一种决定物业湿地的位置和程度的程序。这通常是在可能由于调节填充或排水的状态和联邦法律而制定的财产之前完成的。划界期使用土壤，植被和水文评估和记录湿地指标。湿地的监管定义涉及到土壤上12英寸的土壤中的足够的土壤饱和度。这种饱和度会影响土壤性质以及可以生长的植物类型，使得湿地定义固有的生长季节的概念。

Poor Timing Affects Project Schedules

生长季节对于许多项目时间表很重要。在不断增长的季节中必须进行湿地描绘，以获得准确的植物物种鉴定。在湿地描绘的现场工作完成后，将提交报告给监管机构。通常，代理商请求现场会议，审查湿地描绘前，准备与划分时的书面同意。当代理商验证划界时，定义的湿地边界有效期为三到五年。

如果监管机构不能验证湿地德尔ineation before the end of the growing season, they often wait until the following spring to perform the site visit. If there is no approved wetland delineation, the project cannot determine wetland impacts and cannot obtain federal or state wetland permits.

越来越晚的赛季什么时候结束？

The end of the growing season varies every year and is indicated by falling leaves and the cessation of plants blooming. Estimated dates for the end of the growing season can be approximated by knowing the date when temperatures first drop to 28 degrees Fahrenheit. In Minneapolis/St. Paul, there is a 50 percent chance that date will occur by October 17^TH.。在春天，一顿生长季节将在4月中旬开始。

在不断增长的季节结束后，潜力填写有效的湿地描绘，并获得代理并发，降低。如果霜或雪难以识别植物和准确区分植物社区和湿地边界，则湿地项目的所有现场部件必须等待下一次春季。此暂停可以延迟一个月的项目，导致昂贵的延误。

Maintaining project schedules are crucial for many sites, and with fall approaching it’s important to think about scheduling wetland delineations before it’s too late. Even if a project is still in the planning stages, a wetland delineation can be completed and approved early, before the need for wetland permitting becomes a critical path item.下载我们允许的清单可以帮助指导您的下一个湿地项目。有关更多信息，请联系Daniel Dejoode，或单击hereto view a webinar recording on this topic.
