Our Services
A phased approach to a
wetland study is often a good way to control costs while
determining if a property will meet your needs.
The first phase may
include a walk-through of the property and general
identification of wetland areas. In this phase,
the client will be provided with a sketch showing
approximate wetland areas and buffer setbacks and a memo
summarizing development constraints.
After it has been
determined that the property will meet your needs
additional work can be provided. This may include a full
wetland delineation, which includes flagging the wetland
boundary and preparing the required documentation and
report for agency submittal.
If it is necessary to
fill a wetland or disturb a buffer, such as for property
access, then mitigation will be required. A mitigation
plan identifies areas of impact and how the project will
replace wetland or buffer functions. This typically
involves removing non-native invasive vegetation and
planting native plants.
Cost is variable and
will depend on the size of the property, extent of
wetlands and type of vegetation present. For example,
properties that are covered by blackberry brambles take
much more time than those that are maintained as a lawn.
