Testing a Wetlands Mitigation Rapid Assessment Tool at Mitigation and Reference Wetlands Within a New Jersey Watershed

This project and a companion, "Development of Wetland Quality and Function Assessment Tools and Demonstration," address approaches to assessing wetland function. The specific purpose of this study is to assist the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) in evaluation of the wetland qualitative assessment method that was developed to determine the probability that mitigated wetlands will perform wetland functions.Prepared in conjunction with Marjorie Kaplan, Project Manager, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP)
