What Is Wetland & Environmental Mapping?
Wetland and environmental mapping identifies the boundaries of resource areas such as wetlands, streams, and floodplains. These maps are essential for meeting state and federal permitting requirements, supporting design decisions, and ensuring compliance with the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act and MassDEP guidelines.
Prime Engineering coordinates directly with wetland scientists to locate field-flagged boundaries and produce plans ready for conservation and engineering review.
Applications & Use Cases
- ANRAD (Abbreviated Notice of Resource Area Delineation) filings
- NOI (Notice of Intent) permit applications
- Site planning and engineering design
- Conservation Commission filings
- Subdivision and redevelopment projects
- Floodplain and buffer analysis
Our Process
- Coordination & Scope – Define project purpose and regulatory requirements.
- Field Data Collection – Locate wetland flags, stream channels, and resource features via GNSS/RTK.
- Integration & Drafting – Incorporate data into CAD and GIS for engineering or conservation use.
- Plan Production – Generate MassDEP-compliant plans with clear legends, notes, and delineations.
- Submittal Support – Provide signed/sealed plans for inclusion in ANRAD, NOI, or design packages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do you perform field flagging?
We typically coordinate with a certified wetland scientist who performs the flagging, then our team locates and maps those flags precisely.
Can you integrate wetland mapping with site design plans?
Yes—our CAD and GIS workflows align resource area data directly with engineering base maps.
Are your wetland maps accepted by Conservation Commissions?
Yes—our plans meet local and state submittal standards across Massachusetts.
Do you provide GIS data for environmental consultants?
Absolutely. We can export shapefiles or GeoPackages ready for ArcGIS or QGIS.
