 delineating the soil map unit(s) in question; 



(ii) A copy of the FWS National Wetlemd 

 Inventory map, if availeOile, delineating the area in

 that indicates that the area was initially a nonwetland or a 

 prior converted cropland.

 the name and acres of the hydric soil included in the map 

 unit determined to be wetland; or the unnauned miscellaneous 

 area or inclusion within a soil map unit, the hydric soil 

 criterion met and acres involved. The fact that the soil is 

 mapped as a hydric soil, is not sufficient for an appeal 

 decision; a soil scientist or other qualified technical 

 specialist must make an onsite determination that it is a 

 hydric soil, and this determination must be documented with 

 the n2une of the technical specialist, the date of the onsite 

 visit, and what specific soil series or inclusions were 

 observed to support the hydric soil determination. 

 Documentation must include hydric soil features and hydric 

 soil criteria that were met.
