The Corps has posted version 2.0 of the regional supplement for the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain region, dated November 2010, complete with all new dataforms.  This version has an option for 4 or 5 plant strata, just like the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont region.  WetlandForms.com is not yet using this updated version - we currently have the interim version loaded, dated October 2008.

Here is a direct link to the regional supplement: Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0).

I haven't looked closely at the new dataforms to see if they are significantly different from the interim version.  Based on my experience with the other regions, I would expect very little change.  So hopefully we will have these new dataforms up and running in the next few days.

Update:  New form is working - click here for details.

I am currently working on some mapping capabilities for the website. I have several maps I want to create:

• A public map that shows the COE regions and subregions and allows users to query the latitude/longitude of a point.  This would be available to any user whether they are logged in or not.
• A private map that shows a user or company's datapoints (based on latitude/longitude).  This would be available only to a logged in user. I'll also add some filtering capabilities, like showing only the datapoints for a specified project, and the ability to select a datapoint and go directly to the editing page.
• A popup control that allows a user to place their datapoint on a map during the datapoint creation/editing process - so that users don't need to manually enter the latitude/longitude.  There will also be an option here to automatically fill in the COE region and subregion when they place the point.

The public map with the COE regions will be the first one up, and will be online before the end of the year if all goes well.
