FAQ
How do I know if my property
has wetlands?
We are often asked to see if a property is on a “wetland list”. Unfortunately,
a master list does not exist that can be used to determine the location of
wetlands. There are lists that show
large open water bodies and major wetlands, but not being shown on that list
does not mean wetlands are not present.
The only way to determine if wetlands exist on a site is to conduct an
on site investigation. The wetland
section in this website includes fact sheets that list some indicators that can
use to determine the potential for wetlands.
In critical cases, it may be necessary to bring in a professional
consultant to make the final determination and to establish the boundaries.
