Wetlands Delineation Virginia Beach & Hampton Roads

## Wetland Delineation in Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads

MAP Environmental provides wetland delineations for property owners, developers, and engineering firms throughout Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Hampton, Newport News, and the rest of Hampton Roads.

A wetland delineation identifies the boundaries of wetlands and streams that fall under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Virginia Department of Environmental Quality jurisdiction. The process follows the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the applicable Regional Supplement.

Typical steps include:
– Desktop review of soils, National Wetlands Inventory, and aerial imagery
– Field investigation of vegetation, soils, and hydrology
– Flagging and mapping of the boundary
– Coordination for a jurisdictional determination or confirmation letter when needed

Most residential and commercial sites in the region can be delineated in one field day. Larger or more complex sites take longer. Contact us with the property address or parcel ID for a timeline and next steps.
