Abstract:
In an effort to address regional wetland characteristics and improve the accuracy and efficiency of wetland delineation procedures, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) developed ten regional supplements to the Corps Manual, the most recent of which were issued in 2006. In developing the regional supplements, the Corps recognized that a single national manual is unable to consider regional differences that are important to the identification and functioning of wetlands. The wetland indicators and guidance provided in the 10 regional supplements are designed to be used in combination with the Corps Manual to identify wetland waters of the United States. The Automated Wetland Determination Sheets (ADSs) in this collection package streamline the information collection process by incorporating reference material and analytical processes directly into the form, which is provided as a Microsoft Excel document rather than the PDF form included in the regional supplements. Jurisdictional Determination Forms are tools used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to help implement Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Sections 9 and 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (RHA). JDs specify what geographic areas will be treated as subject to regulation by the Corps under one or both statutes. Applicants for Corps permits are generally required to submit JDs as part of their permit application or in support of the permit evaluation process. If wetlands are present, the Corps generally requires that JDs include adequately documented wetland data sheets in order for the JD to be considered technically adequate. The ADSs are formatted such that they may be readily converted to Portable Document Format (PDF) for inclusion as part of the applicant’s JD report. It should be noted that the forms in this collection package may support associated permit reviews included in collection 0710-0003 which expires on 28 Feb 2022. Though they are being reviewed to be cleared under a new OMB control number, these forms and data sheets or any variations thereof will be included in the next renewal request for collection 0710-0003 which includes the standard and nationwide permit application forms, and will also include any local district forms in existence when the renewal package is submitted.
