| Abstract | Long Description |
This document is a revision of the "Washington State Wetland Rating System for Western Washington," published by the Department of Ecology in October 1993. The original document was published with the understanding that modifications would be incorporated as we increase our understanding of wetland systems, and as the rating system is used by many different people. The need to revise the earlier version became apparent as we have learned more about how wetlands function and what is needed to protect them. Furthermore, several textual inconsistencies and ambiguities were identified that made a consistent application of the ratings by different people difficult. Before undertaking the revisions, comments were sought from a wide range of users of the rating system. Where possible the comments we have received to date have been incorporated in this revision. |
