Join retired USDA NRCS soil scientist Greg Hammer of Hammer Environmental LLC for this intensive 2-hour recorded webinar. With over 30 years of soil survey and wetland delineation experience, Greg addresses a critical knowledge gap for many environmental scientists working in the field of wetlands. While essential for regulatory compliance, the soil survey is often misunderstood and improperly applied, leading to flawed conclusions and meaningless reports. This course moves past simply locating hydric soil map units, focusing instead on the critical understanding and proper application of soil survey data for making sound, evidence-based decisions. We will begin with a review of how the Soil Survey is compiled and structured to provide context for interpreting its strengths and limitations. The core of the session will analyze specific soil survey data elements most relevant to hydric soil and wetland hydrology.
