Wetland Assessment
Updated
02/07/2008
The National Wetland Team provides States with support on all
technical issues pertaining to wetland functional assessments. The
Wetland Team is in the process of developing a formal training/workshop
on functional assessments, hydrogeomorphic (HGM) wetland classification,
HGM functional assessments, development of rapid functional assessment
models, use of data inputs into functional assessment to determine
minimal effect, and use of data inputs and time/function calculations to
determine appropriate minimal effect thresholds, mitigation
requirements, and mitigation ratios.

Technical Notes
The following
are procedures for interim functional assessment are intended
as examples for those in the process of developing their own
procedures and to help bring about needed consistency between
states and regions for interim functional assessment.
Most of the procedures are draft or in early stages of development
and should not be referred to or cited as final. Other
examples are invited at this web site simply by contacting any
one of the Wetland Science Team (WLI) staff.
