Each wetland in the inventory is assigned a brief code ("NWI Code") to summarize its typology. A brief description is provided for each code ("NWI Description"). To get a full descriptive definition for any particular code, see the NWI Wetlands Code Interpreter: http://137.227.242.85/Data/interpreters/wetlands.aspx

GIS Wetlands Inventory and Restoration Assessment. The purpose of this study was to provide general locations and sizes of wetlands in the areas outside of the Cuyahoga River watershed, within Cuyahoga County. The location and size of each wetland is approximate. This study should not be used in place of a wetlands determination and/or delineation. If detailed size and wetlands boundary information is required, a proper wetlands delineation, including a wetlands boundary survey, should be performed by a qualified wetlands specialist.For the full report, click here.

Cuyahoga County Planning Commission's Greenprint GIS features: Trails, Water Features, Wetlands, Open Space, Activity Nodes, Conservation Areas, Riparian, Watersheds

Working with several partners, including the Cleveland Metroparks and the Chagrin River Watershed Partners, the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission (CCPC) developed a predictive series of buffer areas - areas to be preserved for protection - around various types of water features highlighted in the map. The methods utilized are patterned on well-established modeling approaches and use a particular feature's drainage area to delineate its buffer or active stream area.The maps show buffered water areas, by feature, as determined by the CCPC:Lake Erie Shore: 300 feet bufferNavigable River (Cuyahoga): 300-foot bufferNavigable River (Chagrin, Rocky): 120-foot bufferStream Bank (Larger Watershed): 120-foot bufferStream Bank (Smaller Watershed): 75-foot bufferPonds, Lakes, Other Water bodies: 120-foot bufferWetland (National Wetland Inventory): 120-footWetland (Soil and Water Inventory): 120-footSmall Stream Centerline: 25 foot bufferWhen viewing these modeled buffer areas on the map, users can click within any given buffer area and "View Details" to see the reasoning behind that particular buffer area size.Note that these riparian buffers were generated only for above-ground water features and exclude culverted portions streams
