WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

04-WTL-09-wet DC2RVA-Area 4

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 4

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 0

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 0

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 0

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) -

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 2

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 2

Total Score 9

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 2

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 4

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 0

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 5

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 5

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 1

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

04-WTL-20-wet-2 DC2RVA-Area 4

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 2

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 3

Total Score 10

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 1

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 2

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

04-WTL-26-wet-1 DC2RVA-Area 4

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 5

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 1

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

04-WTL-27-wet DC2RVA-Area 4

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 3

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 3

Total Score 13

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 1

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 3

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 4

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 0

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 2

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 9

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the

Remarks: Wetland 4 consists of a cutover BH and scrub-shrub swamp. There are some east to west running ridges that are not wetland. This 

sample point is near the toe of one of the ridges. The asphalt road was excluded from the wetland. During a subsequent field review with the 

Corps (Ms. Regena Bronson) and VDEQ, it was requested by the Corps that the asphault fill road be included in the wetland boundaries. As a 

result, the same field sheet was used for 04-WTL-33. The road will not be excluded as was originally mapped using the GPS. Field Sheet 11-AWTL-04 wetDP1.

Remarks: Wetland 4 consists of a cutover BH and scrub-shrub swamp. There are some east to west running ridges that are not 

wetland. This sample point is near the toe of one of the ridges. The asphalt road was excluded from the wetland. During a subsequent field 

review with the Corps (Ms. Regena Bronson) and VDEQ, it was requested by the Corps that the asphault fill road be included in the wetland 

boundaries. Therefore, the road will not be excluded as was originally mapped using the GPS.

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 2

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 6

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, 

etc.) of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 4

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) -

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 3

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 2

Total Score 7

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 1

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

04-WTL-42-wet-1 DC2RVA-Area 4

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 2

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 2

Total Score 11

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 2

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 2

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 2

Total Score 9

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 2

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 6

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 1

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

04-WTL-45-wet DC2RVA-Area 4

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 2

Total Score 8

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 2

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 0

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 3

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 0

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 0

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 0

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 4

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 1

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 

Total Score 0

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size,

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 4

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) -

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

04-WTL-54-wet DC2RVA-Area 4

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 2

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 3

Total Score 12

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 2

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 2

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 0

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

04-WTL-57-wet-3 DC2RVA-Area 4

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 2

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 4

Total Score 13

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 2

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 3

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 0

Total Score 5

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 2

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 0

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) -

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 9

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 3

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 2

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

04-WTL-64-wet DC2RVA-Area 4

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 2

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 2

Total Score 11

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 2

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 3

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 0

Total Score 2

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size,

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 5

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) -

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 0

Total Score 2

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size,

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 2

Total Score 5

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size,

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 5

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 0

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 2

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 4

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 0

Visual Quality/Aesthetics -

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 4

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition,

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 0

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 2

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition,

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 0

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 2

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition,

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 3

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 3

Total Score 14

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 2

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 3

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 2

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 2

Total Score 11

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 2

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 2

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 5

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 1

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 3

Total Score 7

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 1

Visual Quality/Aesthetics - 

Considers the visual and aesthetic qualities of the 

wetland. 1

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 5

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and 

populations of aquatic animals. 0

Visual Quality/Aesthetics -

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks down 

gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 2

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 2

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 1

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 1

Total Score 9

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

substrate, water quality, wetland juxtaposition, 

human-caused disturbance, pollution, etc.) of the 

wetland to provide habitat for various types and

Function/Value Score Comments

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events. 1

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants. 1

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself. 0

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals. 0

Total Score 3

Wildlife Habitat (Aquatic) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size,

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS & VALUES FORM

Floodwater Alteration/Retention - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland size, water 

capacity in wetland, location in watershed, 

wetland juxtaposition, etc.) of the wetland in 

reducing flood damage and the flow of 

floodwaters by attenuation of floodwaters for 

prolonged periods following precipitation events.

Sediment, Nutrient, & Toxicant Removal - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland 

configuration, vegetative cover, wetland size, etc.) 

of the wetland in reducing or preventing 

degradation of water quality by trapping 

sediments, excess nutrients, and toxicants.

Erosion Control and Stabilization - 

Considers the effectiveness (vegetative cover, 

size, substrate, etc.) of the wetland in reducing 

erosion of stream channels or stream banks 

down gradient of the wetland, along shorelines if 

associated with a lake or tidally influenced water 

body, or within the wetland itself.

Wildlife Habitat (Terrestrial) - 

Considers the effectiveness (wetland's size, 

connectivity with other habitats, wetland 

juxtaposition, human-caused disturbance, etc.) of 

the wetland to provide habitat for various types 

and populations of terrestrial animals.
