I strongly support the Professional Wetland Delineator (PWD) Certification program as it provides high standards for professionals completing wetland delineations. This is a measure of dependability for professionals as well as Clients for private companies. In addition, the Virginia State Surface Waters Delineator (VSWD) certification program recently initiated by DEQ depends up on the PWD certification and will provide accuracy and efficiency for state surface water reviews.  This will benefit the economy as well as the environment.  Keeping high standards of practice benefits all parties and is essential for the Commonwealth.
