STATUS OF DELINEATIONS BASED ON THE 1989 FEDERAL MANUAL 



1989 MANUAL: 



Required the use of 1989 Manual for delineation and such delineations were 

 final. 



PROPOSED REVISED MANUAL: 



Any landowner whose land has been delineated a wetland after the revised 

 Manual is proposed but before the proposed revised Manual becomes final may 

 request a new delineation following publication of the final revised Manual. 

 However, final actions, such as permit issuances or completed enforcement 

 actions, already taken on wetlands delineated under the 1989 manual will not 

 generally be reopened. 



A landowner whose property has been identified as a wetland during a seasonal 

 dry period or drought can request a re-evaluation in the field during the wet 

 season of the year. 



The agencies are soliciting comment on the likelihood of sites being delineated 

 during the dry season as wetland that, if the delineation had occurred during the 

 wet season, would not have met the hydrology criterion. Should requests for re- 

 evaluations be limited to certain cases or should all requests be granted?
