If you answer YES to any ofthe questions below you will need to protect the wetland according to the regulations rcgarding the special characteristics found in the wetland. To complete the next part of the data sheet youwill need to determine the Hydrogeomorphic Class qf the wetland beinq rated. The hydrogeomorphic classilication groups wetlands into those that function in similar ways. This simplifies the questions needed to answer how well the wetland functions.
