The “50/20 rule”: that individually or together account for more than 50 percent of the total coverage of vegetation in the stratum, plus any additional species that, by itself, comprises at least 20 percent of the total.

Wetland determination (sometimes called identification) is simply the determination of whether an area is a wetland or not. Wetland delineation is the actual determination and establishment of wetland boundaries. Delineations are based on the definition of wetland in the Clean Water Act.

Wetlands must have one or more of the following three attributes: (1) at least periodically, the land supports predominantly hydrophytes, (2) the substrate is predominantly undrained hydric soil, and (3) the substrate is nonsoil and is saturated with water or covered by shallow water at some time during the growing sea ...

Wetland—Land that (1) has a predominance of hydric soils; (2) is inundated or saturated by surface or groundwater at a fre- quency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil con- ditions; and (3) under normal circumstances does support a ...

For this classification, wetlands must have one or more of the following three attributes: (1) at least periodically; the land supports hydrophytes predominantly; (2) the substrate is predominantly undrained hydric soil; and (3) the substrate is nonsoil and is saturated with water or covered by shallow water at some ...

Wetland determination (sometimes called identification) is simply the determination of whether an area is a wetland or not. Wetland delineation is the actual determination and establishment of wetland boundaries. Delineations are based on the definition of wetland in the Clean Water Act.

Wetlands must have three specific criteria in order to be classified as a wetland: hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and hydrology. During a wetland delineation, a project area is surveyed to determine whether wetlands with the three criteria are present.
