Regulatory Request System (RRS) Aqua c Resource Bulk Upload Guide

Use this reference table to assist with filling out the columns in the aqua c resource csv file. JD Type, Cowardin Code, Aqua c Resource Type, and HGM Code are
op onal columns, but users should fill out as much informa on as they can about all aqua c resources.

Helpful Hints:

 Make sure each aqua c resource has a unique Water Name/Label.

 La tude/Longitude should be in decimal format (e.g., 38.1234, not 38° 12’ 34” N) and longitude must be nega ve.

HGM_Code Name Description

Depressional is characterized by a water source consisting of return flow from groundwater and interflow with primarily vertical
DEPRESS Depressional hydrodynamics.
The water source of the estuarine fringe consists of overbank flow from estuaries, with bidirectional and horizontal hydrodynamics being
ESTUARINEF Estuarine Fringed dominant.
LACUSTRINF Lacustrine Fringe A Lacustrine fringe has a dominant water source of lake overbank flow, and the dominant hydrodynamics are bidirectional and horizontal.
MINSOILFLT Mineral Soil Flats Mineral soil flats have a water source of precipitation, and vertical hydrodynamics are dominant.
ORGSOILFLT Organic Soil Flats Organic soil flats have precipitation as the water source, and its dominant hydrodynamic is vertical.
Riverine is characterized by a water source of overbank flow from a channel, and hydrodynamics which are predominantly unidirectional
RIVERINE Riverine and horizontal.
The Slope wetland class is characterized by a water source of return flow from groundwater, with principally unidirectional and horizontal
SLOPE Slope hydrodynamics.

Lacustrine - Includes wetlands and deepwater habitats with all of the following characteristics: (1) situated in a topographic depression or a
dammed river channel; (2) lacking trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses or lichens with greater than 30% areal coverage; and
(3) total area exceeds 8 ha (20 acres). Similar wetland and deepwater habitats totaling less than 8 ha are also included in the Lacustrine
System if an active wave-formed or bedrock shoreline feature makes up all or part of the boundary, or if the water depth in the deepest part
of the basin exceeds 2 m (6.6 feet) at low water. Lacustrine waters may be tidal or nontidal, but ocean-derived salinity is always less than
L1 Lacustrine 0.5%.

Riparian - Plant communities contiguous to and affected by surface and subsurface hydrologic features of perennial or intermittent lotic and
lentic water bodies (rivers, streams, lakes, or drainage ways). Riparian areas have one or both of the following characteristics: 1) distinctively
different vegetative species than adjacent areas, and 2) species similar to adjacent areas but exhibiting more vigorous or robust growth forms.
