Wetland Determinations BPA

Added: Feb 27, 2018 3:32 pm The USDA NRCS North Carolina State Office is in need to have wetland delineation and determinations completed in accordance with the attached Statement of Work. This agreement will result in a per acre price per county over the course of 5 years of wetland delineation and determination. Based on 2017 data; the average size of wetland determination requests are 20.2 acres.

The deliverables apply to on-site field investigations for Preliminary Technical Determinations for Wetland Conservation issued by North Carolina NRCS.

Wetland determinations are conducted for USDA participants in order for them to maintain compliance with Wetland Provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985, as amended. These determinations are requested by the participant by submitting the Highly Erodible Land and Wetland Conservation Certification form (AD-1026) at the local Farm Service Agency office. The AD-1026 is then transmitted to the local NRCS office. The AD-1026 request with relevant documentation gathered by the local NRCS personnel is then submitted to the NRCS State Office to review and record as a pending wetland determination request. Once the determination is conducted, a Preliminary Technical Determination (PTD) is sent to the participant outlining its results and the appeal rights afforded to the participant. Once received, the participant has 30 days to appeal the PTD. If no notification of appeal is submitted by the participant during the 30 day period, the PTD is then signed by NRCS and considered as an official certified wetland determination.
