National Park Service Procedural Manual #77-1: Wetland Protection
National Park Service. 2016. National Park Service Procedural Manual #77-1: Wetland Protection. U.S. Department of Interior, National Park Service, Natural Resources Stewardship and Science, Water Resources Division
This Procedural Manual was developed for use by the National Park Service (NPS) in carrying out its responsibilities under Executive Order (E.O.) 11990 to protect wetlands. It contains two main elements: 1) the text of Director's Order (D.O.) #77-1:Wetland Protection (last issued in 2002) in Section 2.0 below; and 2) detailed procedures (in Sections 3–5) by which the NPS will implement D.O. #77-1. Figure 1 provides a brief summary of NPS wetland compliance procedures. All previous versions of NPS Procedural Manual #77-1 (last issued in 2012) are obsolete and are replaced by this revised manual.
