Wetland Functions & Values: A wetland evaluation is the process of determining the values of a wetland based on an assessment of the functions it performs. The evaluation of wetland functions and values should be determined through use of the Method for Inventorying and Evaluating Freshwater Wetlands in New Hampshire, 2015 edition (2015 NH Method), available at U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New England District –OR– highway methodology workbook supplement, 1999 edition (1999 US ACE Highway Workbook Supplement). The evaluation should focus on the following: Ecological Integrity (EI), Wetland-Dependent Wildlife Habitat (WH), Fish and Aquatic Habitat (FH), Scenic Quality (SQ), Educational Potential (EP), Wetland-based Recreation (WR), Flood Storage (FS), Groundwater (GW), Sediment Trapping (ST), Nutrient Trapping/Retention/Transformation (NT), Shoreline Anchoring (SA), Noteworthiness (NW). Secondary Impacts: The Army Corps of Engineers federal mitigation guidance should be consulted if the project involves conversion of forested wetlands to scrub-shrub or emergent wetlands, cutting of riparian buffer and impacts within the buffer to vernal pools.
