The Wetlands Regulatory Assistance Program (WRAP) is a research and development program which connects the power of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) to the people, policies, and practices of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Regulatory Program. Through the multi-disciplinary expertise of ERDC's seven laboratories, WRAP provides solutions to the unique science, engineering, and technical challenges of the USACE Regulatory Program by developing products and tools to accelerate, revolutionize, and enhance Regulatory decision-making.

WRAP provides technical and technological support in seven focus areas, including: Wetland Delineation Science, Stream Sciences, Mitigation Science, Assessment Methodologies, the National Wetland Plant List, Technology Transfer, and Training.

Through the development of innovative tools, technologies, and methodologies, WRAP accelerates permitting timelines and programmatic efficiencies with these rapid, user-friendly decision-making tools, and transfers those technologies to USACE Regulators, Federal and State partners, and the public through tech transfer opportunities, public outreach, and training. WRAP also reduces decision risk and promotes transparent, consistent, predictable, repeatable, and reliable decisions by injecting science into the decision-making process and providing ongoing, rapid-response technical support in all components and stages of the permitting process.
