National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

New York State Freshwater Wetlands Delineation Manual.

PB2002102467

Publication Date	1995
Personal Author	Brown, S.; Crocoll, S.; Goetke, D.; Heaslip, N.; Kerpez, T.
Page Count	62
Abstract	The Manual is divided into three major parts: Preface, Part I - Technical Criteria for New York State Wetland Delineation, and Part II - Methods for Identification and Delineation of Wetland Boundaries. References, a glossary of technical terms, and appendices are included at the end of the manual. This Manual describes the methodologies employed by the DEC and the APA to delineate the boundaries of regulated freshwater wetlands in New York State. The Manual describes technical criteria, field indicators and other sources of information useful for wetland boundary delineation for areas subject to Article 24 regulation. The information is also applicable to wetlands regulated under the other New York laws such as Article 15 (ie. wetlands contiguous to navigable waters pursuant to 15-0505). Emphasis for delineation is on the upper boundary of wetlands (i.e. wetland-upland boundary) and not on the lower boundary between wetlands and deepwater habitats. This Manual makes use of methods and information found in 'Technical Report Y-87-1, Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual' (1987). The Manual describes practical and efficient methods of delineating freshwater wetlands boundaries.
