Wetland/Environmental Assistance

Wetland/Environmental Assistance Program


The Delta Conservation District has established a process for meeting with landowners to identify if wetlands exist on their property before a project begins and/or assistance prior to submitting a permit application to the MDEQ/MDNR for a specific project. 

The Conservation District has identified Federal and State regulatory laws and associated administrative rules as the #1 most misunderstood issue that private landowners will encounter while doing projects on their land.

Assistance provided may include, but not limited too: 
  • On-site identification of wetlands and associated natural resources. 
  • Information and identification of regulatory laws and associated administrative rules. 
  • Assistance with permit applications and associated administrative rules: 
    •   Project purpose and location 
    •   Intended use and alternatives 
    •   Project site impacts -vs- avoidance and minimization 
  • Project design and lay-out.
  • Recommended Best-Management-Practices (BMP). 

The 5 levels of wetland services and associated fees are as follows: 
  • Permit application assistance (in-office only/limited) $50.00 
  • Meeting on-site (written assessment only) $125.00 
  • Meeting on-site (written assessment & application assistance) $200.00 
  • Meeting on-site (written assessment; project lay-out/design; application assistance) Starting at: $300.00 
  • Wetland Delineation Services First acre: $250.00 Each additional acre or fraction of: $100.00
  • The Delta Conservation District is the County Enforcing Agency (CEA) in Delta County for Soil Erosion & Sedimentation Control. If any wetland project also requires a Soil & Erosion Permit the above charged fees will be reduced accordingly.
