Advanced Wetland Delineation: Soils
with John Rockwell
in cooperation with Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program

This workshop is designed for the advanced practitioner and will expand upon the information and techniques presented in John's two full-day Basic Wetland Delineation Workshops: Soils and Vegetation. Attendees will improve their understanding of the state delineation methodology and their ability to make those tough soils and vegetation determinations through practice sessions, case studies and field work. Topics to be covered include: the DEP soil criteria of the seven most common hydric soil characteristics and also the "soils that are difficult to analyze". Soils included in this list are found in the New ACOE "Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Northcentral and Northeast Region (VERSION 2.0), as well as in the "Field Indicators for Identifying Hydric Soils in New England, Version 3".  The day will primarily be spent in the field. Lunch and workshop materials are included in the fee. Bring pencil/pen and pocket calculator.  Optional: soils auger, sharpshooter and Munsell Color Book.  Pre-requisites: registrants must have previously attended both of John's full-day basic delineation workshops (soils & vegetation), provide proof of prior delineation training (college level) or be a practicing wetland professional.  Limit 15.  MACC members $95, non-members $125, full-time students $60.
