摘要

Exact wetland boundaries often are not easily identified. Natural gas producers and midstream operators often operate under deadlines and restrictions that are not compatible with regulatory timelines. As a result, they must rely on their consultants to make black and white decisions about project siting and routing when the science and regulations may not fully support such a call, leaving room for further discussion and potential judgment calls, or "grey" areas. The outcome of similar situations can vary based on the geomorphic landscape, the environmental sensitivity of the general area, different regulatory agencies, and even differing opinions within the same regulatory agency. A comprehensive understanding of the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Manual) and the Corps Regional Supplements, as well as state-specific water quality regulations are required to make defensible decisions in the field so that projects can proceed ahead of regulatory concurrence. This requires thorough documentation of questionable areas to address project pressures, while avoiding the inherent risks of differing opinions with regulators (who may not have the same history of the site as the consultant does) after costly design, construction schedules, or delivery contracts are in place. These decisions require frequent and open communication between the producer or midstream operator and the consultant.
