Just make sure that the wetland test pits are next to potential bottle dumps. Most farmers dump them near wetlands anyway. I have used three or four of the new manuals and they were a little more time consuming to do. The three page data sheets are the worst. Pennsylvania is now broken into three manuals, plus there are also two manuals the we use in New Jersey. So I need to know five manuals to delineate the same wetlands in different areas.

Yes, we have three manuals in Ohio also. I never spent a lot of time on soils with the 87 manual but that's going to have to change. Plus, the Corps people normally don't even look at the soils when they come out.
