Wetland Mitigation in Georgia: Hydrogeomorphic Method and Assessment - 2018 Update

Learn about wetland mitigation practices in Georgia through a conference presentation that examines the 2018 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Standard Operating Procedure updates. Explore the new Hydrogeomorphic Method (HGM) for assessing wetland hydrologic functional conditions, including the integration of soil type, hydrologic monitoring data, and climatic information. Gain insights into vegetation components, compare methodologies between previous and current SOPs, and understand the implications of environmental variability on functional outputs. Examine real-world examples through multi-year wetland monitoring and assessment data, while learning about potential recommendations for future revisions. Discover practical applications of hydrologic performance curves, early growing season considerations, and comprehensive wetland function assessment techniques from an experienced practitioner's viewpoint.
