Wetland Determination Survey 123 form

[ClaireInbody1]

Has any DOTs implemented Collector/Survey 123 for their wetland delineations and wetland determination forms? Nebraska DOT has a pilot project under way to convert the wetland determination form into Survey 123 application. We have almost completed it but having a few issues regarding dominance test for vegetation along with a few issues regarding the report template. We are willing to share our insights so far and interested to see what other DOTs are doing.

Hello all,

Can anyone tell me if there is a shareable Microsoft Word file report template for the USACE Wetland Form?  We are having formatting issues on the one my team is creating and would like to reference it.  Thanks

@icf_Eric_Link, I haven't been able to prepare a complete draft of the Feature Report template yet, unfortunately, and I haven't heard of any others in the community having completed one.

My current draft of the template, which is about halfway complete, is attached.  Let me know if your team is able to complete a full working template.

Obviously, until there's a complete feature report template, tabular (XLS) or feature geodatabase (for inclusion of photos) deliverable products will have to suffice...

Thanks so much for your response, Thomas.  It appears that we are about as far as you have gotten.  🙂  We do anticipate having this complete in the next week or so.  Once we have a good complete version I'll share it here via this post.  Thanks again!

@icf_Eric_Link, have you had any luck completing a draft of the Feature Report template?

@ThomasHamill, were you ever able to complete a universal form. Most of my work is within the Eastern Piedmont Region. Thanks for all the hard work!

[ThomasHamill]

@WNelson761, unfortunately, no, and I'm in a different role now, but this wouldn't be too much of a lift for Esri and the user community to develop since most of the heavy lifting is already complete with the AGCP PDF having been transposed as a Survey123 XLSForm—this AGCP version would just need to be used as a template/starting point, adapted and adjusted to include either the National Wetland Plant List species (to make more of a universal "all-region" WDDF) or just the subset of species that are specific to the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region (to make one for just that region).  The External Choice Lists are where I stored these species for the AGCP XLSForm.

Esri should really consider taking on this as a formal product or at least as a formal template withing Survey123 Connect because at least two competitors (ecobot and Wildnote) have taken the market share on the mobile data collection for these USACE Wetland Determinations.

@icf_Eric_Link Will you be attending the Esri UC? I've brought this up to a handful of colleagues and we're interested in speaking with users about this more.
