Wetlands Delineation & Permit Consultation

Hudson Valley Wetlands Delineation & Local Land Use Permit Consultation

Wetlands Delineation & Local Land Use Permits can be paramount and a priority in any project here in the Hudson Valley.

State wetland protection laws promulgated in the 1960s and 1970s set forth a need for professionals to accurately define the limits of wetlands throughout the United States. Since the 1980s, Wetland delineation in New York has been determined by Federal agencies using a three-parameter method finding “positive indicators” of: hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology. Many Towns have adopted their own local ordinances concerning wetlands, as well. A site can be designated a Federal, State or local wetlands, or up to all three. Some towns require wetlands to be delineated before advancing a base plan. Since 2004, Joshua Tree, Inc. has been certified to delineate wetlands all over the Hudson Valley.
