    The wetland and soils program supports the training mission by working with Base and Marine Corps tenant commands on environmental review and compliance with federal and state wetland regulation and policies in support of Marine Corps training, construction, and range development proposals.  Wetland areas provide vital water quality and habitat values to Camp Lejeune.  Wetland areas dominate the landscape at Camp Lejeune and are the most frequent issue that arises when dealing with development or off road military training. Consequently, it is important for the program manager to be able to balance the needs for development and conservation of these areas, and is expected to pursue wetland restoration whenever practical.
