Inventory Method: The delineations were done “heads-up” in ArcMap using ARCGIS 9.3 software on USGS digital ortho-photo quadrangles (DOQs) Natural Color imagery (1-meter ground resolution). Imagery for the DOQ production was acquired in 20091. Aerial photo interpretation and heads-up mapping were completed in the USFWS NWI Region 1 office in Portland, Oregon by Tim O’Neill, Rick Griffin and Nicholas Jones, SWCA Environmental Consulting. QC during the mapping was provided by Chris Moller, SWCA Environmental Consulting. Final QA was provided by Jim Dick, Region 2 NWI.
Field reconnaissance was conducted in August 2011. The purpose of the field work was to correlate varying signatures found on the photography to actual ground conditions. Vegetation, soils, and hydrologic conditions were examined at field sites.
Data Limitations: The user of the map is cautioned that, due to the limitation of mapping primarily through aerial photo interpretation, a small percentage of wetlands may have gone unidentified. Since the photography was taken during a particular time and season, there may be discrepancies between the map and current field conditions. Changes in landscape which occurred after the photography was taken would result in such discrepancies.
Classification: The wetland classifications that appear in the Oregon Coast National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Maps are in accordance with the Classification of Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (Cowardin et al. 1979).
General Description of the Project Area:
The project area is located in Land Resource Region A, Northwestern Forest, Forage, and Specialty Crop Region. The area covers a portion of 93 1:24,000 USGS quads in Western Oregon. The project area includes the communities of Tillamook, Otis, Lincoln City, Newport, Siletz, Green, Winston plus several other rural Oregon communities. The primary economies of the region include agriculture, grazing, forestry, fisheries, and tourism/recreation. In this area, summer is warm and hot in most valleys and cooler in the mountains. Summer precipitation falls as showers with some thunderstorms occurring. Winters are temperate. Snow and freezing temperatures are not common except at higher elevations. Precipitation falls in the mountains throughout the year, and some deep snowpack accumulates. Average annual temperatures range from a minimum of 27 to a high of 53 degrees F and an average daily temperature of 45 to 55 degrees. There are between 185 and 365 frost-free days per year depending on elevation. The average annual precipitation is between 20 and 140 inches in the area. A majority of the precipitation in the fall, winter and spring is rain and some snow in higher elevation throughout the coastal mountains, which averages from 80 to 140 inches.
The major geologic features of the area are diverse. These include igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary features. Soils are diverse as well. Andisols, Alfisols, Inceptisols, Mollisols, Spodisols, Entisols, and Ultisols present within the soil landscape.
Description of wetlands: A diversity of wetlands occurs within the Oregon Coast project area. The complex geology of the region supports wet meadows, slope wetlands, sloughs, springs, lacustrine fringe wetlands, palustrine wetlands adjacent to riverine systems, tidally influenced riverine and estuarine systems, and other estuarine wetlands. Wetland systems of Lacustrine, Riverine, Estuarine, and Palustrine are represented in the subject area. Deepwater habitats are areas that are permanently flooded and are characterized by open water on the aerial photography. These habitats are present in the Estuarine, Lacustrine and Riverine systems. Unvegetated wetlands, present in all systems, include bars, flats, and rocky shores. Emergent wetlands occur in the Estuarine, Palustrine, and Lacustrine systems. There is a prevalence of wet meadow. Scrub-shrub and forested wetlands occur within the Palustrine systems. In the Palustrine system, these wetlands occur along the banks and floodplains of drainages, in bogs, swamps, at or below seeps and springs, and in depressions.
Description of attribute values: This table reflects classification to the class level and the water regime only. No intent is made to capture Subclasses in this table since subclass designations were made for each polygon associated with the geodatabase.

Description of Special Modifiers:
SPECIAL MODIFIER DESCRIPTION Beaver - Wetland is created, modified or supported by the action of beavers. The beaver modifier is used on all b delineations where visible hydrologic changes have occurred due to beaver activity. Partially Drained - The water level has been artificially lowered, but the area is still classified as wetland because soil moisture is sufficient to support d hydrophytes. This modifier is also used to indicate extensive ditch networks in wetlands where, due to the complexity or narrow width of the ditches, individual delineation is not possible.
Farmed - The soil surface has been mechanically or physically altered for production of crops, but f hydrophytes will become re-established if farming is discontinued. Diked/Impounded - Created or modified by a man-made h barrier or dam which obstructs the inflow or outflow of water. Artificial - Substrates classified as Rock Bottom, Unconsolidated Bottom, Rocky Shore and r Unconsolidated Shore that were emplaced by man using natural or synthetic materials. Excavated - Lies within a basin or channel excavated by x man.
