4. WETLAND FUNCTIONS AND VALUES 



It is assumed that virtually all wetlands provide important public benefits 

 in several functions and values categories. Many wetlands, however, 

 have been recognized, identified and/or listed as having certain of these 

 functions and values. In order to lead to greater objectivity and provide a 

 technique for use by persons of many disciplines, this wetlands 

 assessment method relies on documented data or mformation rather than 

 allowing for interpretation by users across many disciplines. 



Indicate all functions and values which can be attributed to the wetland 

 site If any of the statements within a category (wildlife, fisheries water 

 supply/quality, flood and erosion protection, outdoor recreation and other 

 areas or concerns) is affirmative, check that category on the cover sheet, 

 under item 4. 



A. Wildlife (endangered and threatened species, migratory birds and 

 resident species) 



1 Y N Are Federal or State threatened or endangered plants or animals 

 known to use the wetland site on a regular basis? If yes, list 

 species names:
