With the right mix of soil, water and vegetation, the government may limit what you can do with your property. A wetland serves an important purpose in our ecosystem; they help filter the groundwater to surface water and act, in many cases as flood plains.
We offer several wetland services:
A WETLAND DETERMINATION is a site visit to determine if a wetland is on site. Site specific data is collected to make the conclusion. A determination does out define the extent of the wetland.
A WETLAND DELINEATION actually flags the perimeter of the wetland and is much more costly than a determination. The state of Michigan competes against consultants to complete delineations. We will be honest with you as to when to hire them or us for the service.
A WETLAND Survey is simply a review of government databases to see the potential for a wetland. More than likely the need for either a determination, or delineation would be concluded.
We also help people through the wetland application to fill. It is difficult to receive a permit to fill a wetland or even a portion of the wetland – the right project, however has a chance to get a permit. Its complex and may involve a multi-disciplinary approach.
