Project Description
As part of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, a wetland delineation is required for developments/projects to determine if wetlands or Waters of the United States will be impacted by the proposed project. E&A conducted wetland delineations of 34 campsite areas designated for improvements along approximately nine miles of shoreline on both Lake McConaughy and Lake Ogallala. Twenty-five wetlands areas totaling 48.5 acres were identified within or near the improvement areas, along with 4,278 feet of drainages.
This project presented challenges as E&A was asked to conduct the delineation two weeks prior to the end of the field season. This was additionally complicated because the project was located 330 miles from E&A’s Omaha office. E&A’s environmental scientist was able to complete this project within one week’s time.
