Present the results of the stream/wetland delineation in a letter report that includes a preliminary map depicting the approximate locations of surface waters and wetlands (if present). 5. Agency Verifications - Upon completion of the wetland delineation, it will be necessary to prepare and submit the necessary documentation to request a site visit by a representative of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the N.C.
