SWG Forested Riverine iHGM
| The Forested Riverine iHGM model is limited to forested wetlands that are located along floodplains and/or floodways located along riverine system. These wetlands share a surface hydrology connection with the waters of the riverine system at least for a portion of the season. This model should be used for a rapid non-controversial estimate of the potential impacts to forested riparian wetlands and to see if the proposed mitigation will adequately address the wetland functions that are being impacted.

| SWG Herbaceous Riverine iHGM
| The Herbaceous Riverine iHGM model is limityed to herbaceous wetlands that are located along floodplains and/or floodways located along a riverine system. These wetlands share a surface hydrology connection with the waters of the riverine system for at least a portion of the season. This model is to be used for a rapid non-controversial estimate of the potential impacts to herbaceous riparian wetlands and to see if the proposed mitigation will adequately address the wetland functions that are being impacted.

| SWG Tidal Fringe iHGM
| The Tidal Fringe iHGM is limited to the tidally influenced wetlands in the Galveston District. This model is to be used for a rapid non-controversial estimate of the potential impacts to tidally influenced wetlands and to see if the proposed mitigation will adequately address the wetland functions that are being impacted.

| SWG Lacustrine iHGM
| The Lacustrine iHGM model is designed to be used in wetlands found in the lakes of Texas. A lake is defined as a body of open water that greater than 5-acres in size. This model is to be used for a rapid non-controversial estimate of the potential impacts to lacustrine wetlands and to verify that the proposed mitigation will adequately compensate for the wetland functions that are being impacted.
