In.fhe . <br /> :19$'T IVlanual,the methods used were described under fihe"routine"methods for sites greater than 5 <br /> acres. Tliis methodology is followed in order to assess whether the three parameters of a wetland are <br /> met for areas on the subject parcel. The three parameters required under normal circumstances in <br /> order to delineate:a wetland aze described in the Technical Documentation Section. <br /> The IYlidwest Regional Supplement Vi�etland Delinea�ion 1Vlanual is also being utiTized to increase <br /> the accuracy of our wetIand boundaries. This addendum to the original 871VIanual was created to <br /> address the :many regional differences that affect wetlands and the deIineation methods used � <br /> throughout the country. The following.explanations are passages from that document. <br /> "This Reg'ional Supplement is .part of'a,nationwide effort to address reoional <br /> wetland characteristics and irtiprove 'the :accurncy and �fficiency of wetland- • <br /> delineation,procedures. Regional differ�nces:in cliinate,geo7ogy,soils,hydrology , <br /> nlant and animal communities,and other facfors ar.e important to the identification • <br /> and functioning of wetlands.These differences cannot be considered adequately in a <br /> single naiional manual. The deuelopment�of this supplement'foliows Nafional <br /> Academy nf Sciences recommendations to increase the regional sensitivify of <br /> wedand-delineation mefhods�Nationat Research Council 1995).The intent of this <br /> supplemen[is to bring the Corps Manual up to.date with curcenc knowledge and <br /> practice°.in the region and:nor:to change wetland boundaries."
