Kings Creek - Wetlands

Kings Creek Country Club has three different types of wetlands on or bordering its properties.  The black and white map below shows the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Controls official map, which delineates state regulated wetland areas.  The side note on the bottom right of this map "map change see file" is due to the removal of some regulated areas on this map.  Since the map on record is from 1988, two years before the course opened, I have attached a second photo.  This shows a current picture of our property with the different wetlands areas highlighted.


Due to the sensitive and delicate nature of these areas, we have contacted DnRec in regards to rules and regulations of the wetlands areas.  All of our current work and future planned tree work along the marsh is in compliance with DnRec regulations.  I also spoke with DnRec in regards to the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program which the club has recently initiated.  DnRec said they would be happy to assist us and answer questions we might have in developing our environmental plan and site assessment as required by Audubon International.
