Prior to proceeding with any type of work located near or within a wetland resource area, the process of wetland delineation and flagging must occur around the edge of the wetland resource area so that it may be located by the survey crew. New England Engineering Services Inc. uses both in house and subcontracted wetland delineation specialists to determine an accurate wetland line. Familiarity with wetland delineation and how to determine an accurate line is important with today’s strict offset requirements and having an accurate line may be the key to allowing a project to proceed.

Any time work which involves disturbance of the ground is proposed within a wetland, or within 100 feet of a wetland, a permit must be granted by the local conservation commission prior to the work being done. Obtaining a permit requires that the wetland be delineated, located by survey, and shown on a plan. The plan must also show the location of the proposed work, the nature of the proposed work, and the methods which will be used to protect the wetlands from erosion or disturbance during construction. In some instances the work will require disturbance or alteration of the wetlands themselves. The professionals at New England Engineering Services, Inc have an intimate knowledge of the state and local wetland protection laws and have the expertise to bring a clear concise plan in front of the conservation commission making approval of the plan easier for the commission.

When a project requires that a wetland resource area be disturbed a comparable replacement wetland area must be provided. Information regarding soils, surface elevations, groundwater elevations, and existing plant species in the area to be disturbed must be analyzed and used in designing the new wetland. This information is presented to the commission as a wetland restoration plan. Information regarding proposed elevations of the wetland restoration area, soils to be placed in the area, plant species to be planted, and erosion control methods are all part of a well crafted plan.

The largest threat to wetlands is the risk of being flooded with sediment as a result of a poorly managed construction site. Most construction projects require erosion control to prevent damage to the wetlands. New England Engineering Services Inc. can design a comprehensive erosion control management plan and can assist during the project with inspection of the erosion control devices and monitoring the health of the adjacent wetlands.
