All fields and uploads are required unless otherwise noted.
ALL PROJECTS This static sample form has been modified for offline access. All sections of the form are visible. Sample forms are for reference only. The project complies with all local, state, and federal regulations pertaining to wetland and water body conservation. The site includes exempted wetlands, water bodies, and/or buffer land. (Optional) Upload SLLp3-1. The project team has uploaded a project site base map which includes the project boundary and exempted wetlands, water bodies, and/or buffer land. The documentation provided for Upload SLLp3-1 demonstrates that the exempted wetlands, water bodies, and/or buffer land meet the following criteria (select all that apply): Previously developed land. Man-made water bodies (such as industrial mining pits, concrete-lined canals, or stormwater retention ponds) that lack natural edges and floors or native ecological communities in the water and along the edge. Man-made linear wetlands that result from the interruption of natural drainages by existing rights-of-way. Wetlands that were man-made incidentally and have been rated “poor” for all measured wetland functions. Upload SLLp3-2. The project team has uploaded the wetland quality assessment performed by a qualified biologist, using a method that is accepted by state or regional permitting agencies, to demonstrate the "poor" quality of wetland functions. Select one of the following: Option 1. Sites with no wetlands, water bodies, land within 50 feet of wetlands, or land within 100 feet of water bodies. Option 2. Sites with wetlands, water bodies, land within 50 feet of wetlands, or land within 100 feet of water bodies.
SITES WITHOUT WETLANDS, WATER BODIES, OR BUFFER LAND Upload L-2. The project team has uploaded a pre-construction project site base map with project boundary, natural features (existing topography, wetlands, water bodies, etc.), and built features (from PI form 3).
