Intermittent NHD features that did not intersect the FEMA floodplain layer were deleted from the dataset. These final flowlines were then buffered by 100 feet. NHD water body features were also buffered by 100 feet. Features from the buffered water body layer were deleted if they did not intersect the buffered flowlines or the FEMA floodplain layer. Next, the buffered NHD flowlines, the FEMA floodplain layer, and the buffered water body polygons were all merged into one polygon feature class. The geoprocessing tool 'multipart to singlepart' was then run on the polygons to separate multipart features into distinct regions. Next, the geoprocessing tool 'simplify by straight lines and circular arcs' was run on the polygon layer to reduce the number of feature vertices and improve performance. Finally, any polygons overlaying developed areas were removed from the dataset by erasing the portion of the region within the property boundary of the developed parcel.

It is entirely within the Brown Grove Rural Historic District, located approximately 4 miles south of Ashland, VA.Source and date:This parcel was extracted from Hanover County’s parcel layer, downloaded as a shapefile from the Hanover County GIS Open Data site. Accessed October 2022.Purpose:Hanover County’s parcel layer was created for numerous reasons, such as showing property boundaries and providing information for zoning and tax assessments.ABRA Processing:The Wegmans parcel was extracted from the downloaded parcel layer and imported into ArcGIS.Symbolization:The following symbolization is how it appears in the Brown Grove Wegmans Draft online map provided by ABRA.Wegmans site boundary: purple dotted line
