Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act (1972) and the Seismic Hazards Mapping Act (1990) direct the State Geologist to delineate regulatory "Zones of Required Investigation" to reduce the threat to public health and safety and to minimize the loss of life and property posed by earthquake-triggered ground failures. Cities and counties affected by the zones must regulate certain development "projects" within them. These Acts also require sellers of real property (and their agents) within a mapped hazard zone to disclose at the time of sale that the property lies within such a zone.

NOTE: Fault Evaluation Reports are available for those areas covered by a Regulatory Map however there are reports available for areas outside the Regulatory map boundary. For a complete set of maps available for purchase on CD please contact the CGS Library.

The following data is provided as a public service, for informational purposes only. This data should not be construed as legal advice. Users of this data should independently verify its determinations prior to taking any action under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) or any other law. The State of California makes no warranties as to accuracy of this data.This zoning data was collected from 535 of California"s 539 jurisdictions. An effort was made to contact each jurisdiction in the state and request zoning data in whatever form available. In the event that zoning maps were not available in a GIS format, maps were converted from PDF or image maps using geo-referencing techniques and then transposing map information to parcel geometries sourced from county assessor data. Collection efforts began in late 2021 and were mostly finished in late 2022. Some data has been updated in 2023. Sources and dates are documented in the "Source" and "Date" columns with more detail available in the accompanying sources table.Individual zoning maps were combined for this statewide dataset. As part of the aggregation process, contiguous areas with identical zone codes, within jurisdictions, were merged or dissolved. Some features representing roads with right-of-way or Null zone designations were removed from this data. Features less than 4 square meters in area were also removed.

Many regulations are geographically targeted. We study the evolution of the spatial targeting of floodplain regulation over four decades of regulatory map updates in Florida. We focus on changes in shape irregularity of regulated areas, which we measure using differences between regulated polygons and their convex hulls. While the regularity of mapped polygons is uncorrelated with development in initial maps, we observe decreases in regularity over time concentrated in highly-developed geographies. These changes are uncorrelated with changes in risk due to adaptation. Our results highlight the possibility of endogenous regulation and the value of leveraging historical maps for empirical analysis.

In cooperation with the Washington State Department of Ecology, DNR Forest Practices developed a systematic reclassification of the original USFWS wetlands codes into WAC 222-16-035 types. The reclassification was done in 1995 according to the Forest Practice Rules in place at the time. The WAC's for defining wetlands are 222-16-035 and 222-16-050.The DNR Forest Practices Wetlands Geographic Information System (GIS) Layer is based on the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI).

The reclassification was done in 1995 according to the Forest Practice Rules in place at the time. The WAC's for defining wetlands are 222-16-035 and 222-16-050.It is intended that these data be only a first step in determining whether or not wetland issues have been or need to be addressed in an area. The DNR Forest Practices Division and the Department of Ecology strongly supports the additional use of hydric soils (from the GIS soils layer) to add weight to the call of 'wetland'. Reports from the Department of Ecology indicate that these data may substantially underestimate the extent of forested wetlands. Various studies show the NWI data is 25-80% accurate in forested areas. Most of these data were collected from stereopaired aerial photos at a scale of 1:58,000. The stated accuracy is that of a 1:24,000 map, or plus or minus 40 feet. In addition, some parts of the state have data that are 30 years old and only a small percentage have been field checked. Thus, for regulatory purposes, the user should not rely solely on these data. On-the-ground checking must accompany any regulatory call based on these data.The reclassification is based on the USFWS FWS_CODE. The FWS_CODE is a concatenation of three subcomponents: Wetland system, class, and water regime. Forest Practices further divided the components into system, subsystem, class, subclass, water regime, special modifiers, xclass, subxclass, and xsystem. The last three items (xsomething) are for wetland areas which do not easily lend themselves to one class alone. The resulting classification system uses two fields: WLND_CLASS and WLND_TYPE. WLND_CLASS indicates whether the polygon is a forested wetland (F), open water (O), or a vegetated wetland (W). WLND_TYPE, indicates whether the wetland is a type A (1), type B (2), or a generic wetland (3) that doesn't fit the categories for A or B type wetlands. WLND_TYPE = 0 (zero) is used where WLND_CLASS = O (letter "O").

The wetland polygon is classified as F, forested wetland; O, open water; or W, vegetated wetland depending on the following FWS_CODE categories: F O W --------------------------------------------------- Forested Open Vegetated Wetland Water Wetland --------------------------------------------PFO* POW PUB5 E2FO PRB* PML2 PUB1-4 PEM* PAB* L2US5 PUS1-4 L2EM2 PFL* PSS* L1RB* PML1 L1UB*
L1AB* L1OW L2RB* L2UB* L2AB* L2RS* L2US1-4 L2OW

• indicates inclusion of the subcategory (ie. PEM* includes PEM1F, PEM1FB, etc.).

DNR FOREST PRACTICES WETLANDS DATASET ON FPARS Internet Mapping Website: The FPARS Resource Map and Water Type Map display Forested, Type A, Type B, and "other" wetlands. Open water polygons are not displayed on the FPARS Resource Map and Water Type Map in an attempt to minimize clutter. The following code combinations are found in the DNR Forest Practices wetlands dataset:

WLND_CLASS WLND_TYPE wetland polygon classification F 3 Forested wetland as defined in WAC 222-16-035 O 0 *NWI open water (not displayed on FPARS Resource or Water Type Maps) W 1 Type A Wetland as defined in WAC 222-16-035 W 2 Type B Wetland as defined in WAC 222-16-035 W 3 other wetland

• NWI open water polygons are indicated by WLND_CLASS = O and WLND_TYPE = 0. Open water is used in the USFWS and WAC 222-16-035 classification system. These open water polygons are not included in the FPARS Resource Map and Water Type Map views of this dataset in an attempt to minimize clutter on the FPARS maps.

For PPRTs, the environmental code defines a single category of zones for zones (L515-15 et seq.): areas exposed to risk. Unlike natural RPPs, PPRTs never have restricted areas that are not directly exposed to risks. Depending on the hazard level, each area of the PPRT is subject to an enforceable settlement. PPRT regulations generally distinguish two types of zones: 1- “Building Prohibition Zones”, so-called “Red Zones”, when the hazard level is strong and the general rule is the construction ban; 2- “prescription zones”, known as “blue zones”, when the hazard level is average and projects are subject to requirements adapted to the type of issue. The instructions in the PPRT development guide add a gradation within the “red zones” and “blue areas”.

This Excel database maps key public and private policies and governance mechanisms regulating legal and sustainable forest and ecosystem-risk biomass value chains across demand and supply-side countries and regions.

Plans for the prevention of natural hazards (PPRN) were established by the Act of 2 February 1995 on strengthening the protection of the environment. They are the key instrument of the State in the field of risk prevention. The objective of this procedure is to monitor development in areas exposed to a major risk. The PPRNs are decided by the prefects and usually carried out by the departmental directorates of the territories (DDT). These plans regulate land use or land use through construction prohibitions or requirements on existing or future buildings (constructive provisions, vulnerability reduction work, restrictions on agricultural use or practices, etc.). These plans may be under development (prescribed), implemented in advance or approved. For natural PPRs, the Environmental Code defines two categories of zones (L562-1): risk-exposed areas and areas that are not directly exposed to risks but where measures can be foreseen to avoid exacerbating the risk. Depending on the hazard level, each area is subject to an enforceable settlement. The regulations generally distinguish three types of zones: • ‘Building prohibited areas’, known as ‘red areas’, where the hazard level is high and the general rule is the prohibition on construction; • ‘prescribed areas’, known as ‘blue zones’, where the hazard level is average and the projects are subject to requirements adapted to the type of issue; • areas not directly exposed to risks but in which constructions, works, developments or holdings of agricultural, forestry, crafts, commercial or industrial holdings could aggravate risks or cause them again, subject to prohibitions or requirements (cf. Article L562-1 of the Environmental Code)

The transitional NVR map - category 2-sensitive regulated land layer is a component of the transitional NVR map. The transitional NVR Map was prepared by Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) under Part 5A of the Local Land Services Act 2013 (LLS Act) and supporting Local Land Services Regulation 2014.

The 2022 annual review of the transitional NVR map was published on 23 March 2022. Please read below for details about changes occurring as a result of the 2022 annual review. The latest version of the map can be viewed online using the transitional NVR map viewer.

https://www.lmbc.nsw.gov.au/Maps/index.html?viewer=NVRMap

Section 108 of the Local Land Services Regulation 2014 states that the NVR map designates category 2-sensitive regulated land as a sub-category of category 2-regulated land and lists the types of land to be included.

Datasets compiled to generate the category 2-sensitive regulated land layer include those identifying land that:

• has been declared as a Ramsar wetland (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999)

• is under a private land conservation agreement

• is Coastal Wetland or Littoral Rainforests mapped under State Environmental Planning Policy (Coastal Management) 2018

• is native vegetation required to be retained within forestry plantations under the Plantations and reafforestation Act 1999

• is an offset under a property vegetation plan or other approval

• is a set-aside under the Land Management (Native Vegetation) Code 2018 or under the Native Vegetation Regulation 2013.

• is an approved conservation measure as part of a Biodiversity Certification of land under Part 8 of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016.

• contains critically endangered ecological communities or plants

• is considered to be core koala habitat under an approved Koala Plan of Management

• is subject to a remedial action or;

• was mapped as old-growth forest or rainforest under the Comprehensive Regional Assessment undertaken for the Regional Forest Agreements.

The inclusion an/or update of these layers on the NVR map requires the approval of the Secretary DPIE or delegate.

Changes to the mapping of category 2-sensitive regulated land introduced in the publish of the transitional NVR map on 23 March 2022 included:

• additions to category 2 – sensitive regulated land of set-aside areas approved between February 2021 and October 2021 under the Land Management (Native Vegetation) Code 2018

• Critically Endangered Plants – Refinements to mapping of some critically endangered plants.

• Private Native Forestry Old Growth Forest and Rainforest – Updates to mapping of Old Growth Forest and Rainforest via private native forestry code approvals under Part 5B or land holder- initiated reviews under Part 5A of the Local Land Service Act 2013.

• Property Vegetation Plans – Updates to term incentive property vegetation plans (PVP) agreements under the Native Vegetation Act 2003, for which the term has expired.

• Biodiversity Conservation Trust agreements – Refinements of, and updates to conservation agreements managed by the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust.

The data is provided as multi value raster that identifies the category 2-sensitive regulated land, category 2-vulnerable regulated land and where category 2-sensitive and category 2-vulnerable regulated land overlaps.

Pixel values:

3 - category 2-vulnerable regulated land

4 - category 2-sensitive regulated land

6 - Where category 2-sensitive and category 2-vulnerable regulated land overlap (display class)

The transitional NVR map was prepared by Department Planning and Environment under Part 5A of the amended Local Land Services Act 2013 (LLS Act) and supporting regulation. On the 25th of August 2017 the transitional NVR Map was published under transitional arrangements set out in 60F of the LLS Act. The current published version of the transitional NVR Map (version 11) was published on 23 March 2022. The transitional NVR Map currently displays category 2 – vulnerable regulated land, category 2 – sensitive regulated land and land that is excluded from the LLS Act. The latest version of the map can be viewed online using the NVR Map Viewer. The transitional NVR Map has been developed to underpin the new land management framework. The transitional NVR Map essentially tells you where the land management code and allowable activities are either limited or not available. Understanding the map categories. Currently, the transitional NVR map viewer displays displays category 2 – vulnerable regulated land, category 2 – sensitive regulated land and land that is excluded from the LLS Act. Mapping for category 1 - exempt land and category 2- regulated land are yet to be published. Broadly, category 1 - exempt land is land that was cleared of native vegetation as at 1 January 1990, or land that was lawfully cleared between 1 January 1990 and 25 August 2017. Category 2 - regulated land is land that was not cleared as at 1 January 1990, was unlawfully cleared after 1 January 1990, or is a prescribed area with an identified environmental value. Land is mapped to each category on the basis of past clearing or disturbance events, as detected by satellite and aerial imagery, and updated land use data. Prescribed areas with an identified environmental value are mapped as category 2 - regulated land, overriding a category 1 - regulated land designation based on the mapping.

To create this raster layer of Minnesota DNR’s original county Public Waters Inventory (PWI) maps, the maps were scanned, their collars removed, and then georectified and mosaiced together into a statewide map. When the collars were removed, the map legends and some labels were removed and there is some overlap of labels at county boundaries. This raster layer shows the general location of the public waters (lakes, wetlands, and watercourses) as mapped on the original PWI maps published in the 1980’s and revised in 1996. The PWI has been further revised since these maps were originally published and a vector GIS layer of the PWI is available on the Minnesota Geospatial Commons at: https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/water-mn-public-waters. Public waters are all water basins, wetlands, and watercourses that meet the criteria set forth in Minn. Stat. 103G.005, subd. 15 and subd. 15a. The DNR has regulatory jurisdiction over public waters and the regulatory boundary of a public water is the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL), as defined in Minn. Stat. 103G.005, subd. 14. Before conducting work in a public water, contact your local DNR area hydrologist for a correct OHWL determination (https://files.dnr.state.mn.us/waters/area_hydros.pdf). Individual original county PWI maps and county PWI lists are available in PDF format at: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/waters/watermgmt_section/pwi/maps.html.

The objective of the regulatory zoning phase is to define homogeneous areas in terms of prohibitions, prescriptions, recommendations or land use, both for new projects and for existing assets. The principles of this zoning are based in particular on a confrontation between the different levels of hazards previously identified and the assessment of existing and future issues characterising the surface. The identification of these homogeneous areas results in the development of a mapping of the regulatory zoning of the PPRN GT... Directly related to this zoning, a regulation must be established. Its purpose is to set out, in a clear and operational manner, the regulatory measures that apply to each of the Regulatory Areas. The scale of use of the regulatory zoning is that of 1/10 000 and exploitation on a smaller cadastral scale (1/5000 or 1/2000) is not recommended. The accuracy of the initial data therefore presents uncertainty about its contours in the order of 10 metres. Genealogy: The boundaries of a restricted area are shown on the graphical documents of the RPP. Regulatory limits are generally set on natural phenomena, which do not follow cadastral or administrative boundaries. A PPR determines the boundaries of the different restricted areas based on the calculated right-of-way of the site’s hazardous phenomena. Some PPRs may sometimes contain regulations associated with linear or point configurations (cavitates, runoff axis...). The linear and point graphic primitives are to be used in these cases respectively.

Important note: The dataset is updated daily under OpenData NRW! The map layer "Ordinance replacing contract area" can be selected in the Web Map Service Landscape Information Collection (WMS LINFOS) and shows the spatial location of the FFH areas in North Rhine-Westphalia, where the securing has been carried out via contracts with landowners or user associations. Habitats Directive 92/43/EEC aims to maintain or restore a favourable conservation status of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora of Community interest. In order to ensure this objective, the Habitats Areas confirmed in the Community list of the EU must be designated by the Member States as Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The designation of protection in North Rhine-Westphalia is based on the provisions of VV Habitat Protection, No. 3.1. and is usually carried out by establishing it as a nature reserve. However, in the case of a number of areas, the guarantee is guaranteed in accordance with Paragraph 32(4) of the BNatSchG on contracts concluded by the Land of North Rhine-Westphalia with landowners or user associations.
