User Guide for Automated Wetland Determination Data Sheets

PURPOSE The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers USACE Wetland Delineation Manual and associated regional supplements require the completion of wetland determination data sheets to document the presence of wetlands and delineate wetland boundaries. Recently, the USACE developed Automated Wetland Determination Data Sheets ADS for each region of the country to assist users with document review, improvement of accuracy, and to increase efficiency. The following user guide provides instruction for application of the ADS which automatically populates hydrology, vegetation and soil indicators based upon data collected as part of a wetland determination.
