Wetland delineations are needed when a planned activity involves the placement of fill material in a potential wetland area. Wetland delineations are also commonly performed by purchasers and sellers of land to assess the regulated and non regulated portions of a property. Wetland delineators use their skills and experience in botany, soil science, hydrology and sampling procedures, as well as the federally approved wetland delineation methods, to determine and document wetlands.

Rare and Threatened Species Determination
|
|
| |
Delaware is a host to numerous rare and threatened species. One of the most commonly mentioned in Sussex County is the Delmarva Fox Squirrel (Sciurus niger cinereus). They generally inhabit mature forests with open understories and wet woodlands. Delmarva Fox Squirrels were listed as federally endangered in 1967 and are protected by the Endangered Species Act. The Endangered Species Act requires development and land clearing projects that may directly and indirectly affect the Delmarva Fox Squirrels habitat to conduct a study by a state qualified surveyor to detect the presence of Delmarva Fox Squirrels. |
