Wetland Determinations - Review the appropriate available literature (USGS Topographic Maps, Soil Surveys, Federal Emergency Management Agency-Flood Insurance Rate Maps and U.S. Fish and Wildlife National Wetland Inventory Maps) to determine if streams, ponds and wetlands could be present. Perform a reconnaissance to confirm the information obtained during the literature review. Present the results of the stream/wetland determination in a letter report that includes a preliminary map depicting the approximate locations of surface waters and wetlands (if present). 2. Preliminary Threatened and Endangered Species Determination - The Provider will need to review the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Database to obtain information regarding federally protected threatened and endangered species that could be located on the site or immediately adjacent properties. The consultant will complete a site visit, prepare a letter report commenting on potential habitats and submit the information to the USFWS for concurrence.

If it is necessary to conduct a detailed study, the Provider must be able to complete the detailed study as additional services (may be subcontracted to individuals with the necessary credentials).
