The office component of WRAP includes acquiring and displaying aerial
photographs of the area, identifying the project boundaries and adjacent land uses and identifying
on-site wetland areas. In addition hydrology, soils, habitat, wildlife and other pertinent
information is used as a reference.
The WRAP application has been designed to assist the wetland evaluator with office evaluation.
The application is developed as an ArcView project. It contains a number of customized ArcView functions
that were build using ArcView Avenue development language. Additional functionality is developed
using HTML and Visual Basic. All the customized functions are grouped under a menu named WRAP (fig.1).
Each menu links to a number of prompts and dialogs designed with a friendly interface.

The functions are grouped by category.
