100 ft upland buffer from MassDEP identified wetlands.

These data layers show the location and boundaries of regulated wetlands within the City of Boulder boundaries based upon field visits to each site. The mapping typically reflects conditions during the specific year and season when the field work was conducted. This data is the official current regulatory area dataset. Created 2017. Combined all previous wetland datasets into one. Query by Status an Category attributes. Status: Regulatory (currently regulated by the city), Non-Regulatory (outside city limits or not regulated by the City), Revised (not regulated - awaiting City Council acceptance), Proposed (wetland application submitted and pending acceptance) Category: Category A - High functioning wetland with 25-foot inner buffer and 25-foot outer buffer (50-feet total). Category B - Low functioning wetland with 25-foot total buffer. Wetland descriptions and evaluations are available on the City of Boulder Wetland Regulation webpage.

The Wetland Buffer Zone contains any land within 100 feet of Water Bodies and Waterways, Bank, or Vegetated Wetlands. This area is likely significant to public and private water supply, groundwater, erosion and sedimentation control, water pollution prevention, wildlife habitat, and recreation. As such, it is regulated by the Natural Resources Commission.

These data represent public waters and public ditches that require permanent vegetation buffers or alternative riparian water quality practices. The buffer map data comprise two geographical feature classes: one linear feature class for watercourses and one polygonal feature class for lakes, reservoirs and wetlands. The attribute for the buffer width requirement is derived from three different classification attributes: (1) the Minnesota DNR's Public Waters Inventory classification, (2) the DNR assigned shoreland classification, and (3) public open drainage system data (also referred to as open ditches) established under Minnesota Statute (M.S.) 103E and provided by local drainage authorities. The DNR Commissioner has validated the authenticity of this map for purposes described in M.S. 103F.48.

Public waters are all lakes, wetlands and watercourses that meet the criteria set forth in M.S. 103G.005, subd. 15 and are designated on public waters inventory maps. Public water wetlands without DNR shoreland classifications are excluded from the buffer map. The DNR coordinated with counties and watershed districts to identify public ditches that require a buffer.

The buffer protection map helps landowners identify buffer protection requirements, under Minnesota's Buffer Law. Public ditches require a 16.5-foot buffer and public waters require a 50-foot average buffer; public ditches that are also public watercourses require a 16.5-foot buffer unless the DNR assigned a specific shoreland classification, in which case a 50-foot average buffer is required. Local ordinances may require wider buffers. This map displays minimum standards and is not intended to affect existing local controls that are more restrictive than these requirements. Furthermore, the buffer map does not depict "other waters" to be addressed by local water plans and does not identify locations where local Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) have selected an alternate water quality practice.

Wetlands are areas where water is present at or near the surface of the soil during at least part of the year. Wetlands provide habitat for many species of plants and animals that are adapted to living in wet habitats. Wetlands form characteristic soils, absorb pollutants and excess nutrients from aquatic systems, help buffer the effects of high flows, and recharge groundwater. Data on the distribution and type of wetland play an important role in land use planning and several federal and state laws require that wetlands be considered during the planning process.The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) was designed to assist land managers in wetland conservation efforts.

This dataset represents wetlands included in Vermont's Significant Wetlands Inventory. The State of Vermont protects wetlands which provide significant functions and values and also protects a buffer zone directly adjacent to significant wetlands. Wetlands in Vermont are classified as Class I, II, or III based on the significance of the functions and values they provide. Class I and Class II wetlands provide significant functions and values and are protected by the Vermont Wetland Rules. Any activity within a Class I or II wetland or buffer zone which is not exempt or considered an "allowed use" under the Vermont Wetland Rules requires a permit.Background: National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) maps were used by the State of Vermont, Agency of Natural resources as a means of creating this data layer in conjunction with the VSWI. The NWI and VSWI were joined by a union, to create the new 2010 Vermont Significant Wetland Inventory data layer, representing Vermont's regulatory wetlands. The VSWI prior to 2010 was created by hand digitizing nearly two-thirds of Vermont's wetlands from RF 24000 scale NWI mylars. The remainder of the state was scanned from RF 24000 or RF 25000 scale mylars. These mylars were created by transfering wetland polygon boundaries from RF 62500 scale NWI mylars to RF 24000 scale base maps.

As one of the plain wetland systems in northern China, Baiyangdian Wetland plays a key role in ensuring the water resources security and good ecological environment of Xiong'an New Area. Understanding the current situation of Baiyangdian Wetland ecosystem is also of great significance for the construction of the New Area and future scientific planning. Based on the 10-meter spatial resolution sentinel-2B image provided by ESA in September 2017, combined with Google Earth high resolution satellite image (resolution 0.23m), the wetland ecosystem network distribution map and river network distribution map of in Baiyangdian basin in 2017 were drawn by artificial visual interpretation and machine automatic classification, which can provide reference for the wetland connectivity (including hydrological connectivity and landscape connectivity) in Baiyangdian basin. The spatial distribution data set of Baiyangdian Wetland includes vector data and raster data: (1) Baiyangdian basin boundary data (.shp); Baiyangdian basin river channel data (. shp); (2) Baiyangdian basin land use / cover classification data (including the classification data of Baiyangdian basin and the river 3 km buffer) (.tif); Baiyangdian basin constructed wetland and natural wetland distribution map (. shp); Baiyangdian basin slope map (. tif). The boundary of Baiyangdian basin in this dataset comes from the basic geographic information map of Baiyangdian basin provided by Zhou Wei and others. The DEM is the GDEM digital elevation data with 30m resolution. The original image data of wetland remote sensing classification comes from the sentinel-2B remote sensing image on September 20, 2017 provided by ESA. This data set uses the second, third, fourth and eighth bands of the 10m resolution in the image. The preprocessing operations such as radiometric calibration, mosaic and mosaic are carried out in SNAP and ArcGIS 10.2 software, and the supervised classification is carried out in ENVI software. The data used for river channel extraction is based on Google Earth high resolution satellite images. The research and development steps of this dataset include: preprocessing sentinel-2B image, establishing wetland classification system and selecting samples, drawing the latest wetland ecosystem network distribution map of Baiyangdian basin by support vector machine classification; based on Google Earth high-resolution satellite image (resolution 0.23m), this paper uses LocaSpaceViewer software to identify and extract river channels by manual visual interpretation. For the river channels with embankment, identify and draw along the embankment; for the river channels without embankment, distinguish according to the spectral difference between the river channels and the surrounding land use types and empirical knowledge, mark the uncertain areas, and conduct field investigation in the later stage, which can ensure that the identified river channels have been extracted. The identified river channels include the main river channel, each classified river channel, abandoned river channel, etc., and all rivers are continuous. It can effectively identify the channel and ensure the accuracy of extraction. According to the river network map of Baiyangdian basin obtained by manual visual interpretation, the total length of the river in Baiyangdian basin is about 2440 km, and the total area is 514 km2. Among them, there are 177 km2 river channels in mountainous area, with a length of 866 km, distributed in northeast-southwest direction, mostly at the junction of forest land and cultivated land; there are 337 km2 river channels in plain area, with a length of 1574 km. The Baiyangdian basin is divided into eight land use / cover types: river, flood plain, lake, marsh, ditch, cultivated land, forest land and construction land. The remote sensing monitoring results show that the wetland area of Baiyangdian basin accounted for 13.90% in 2017. Among all the wetland types, the area of marsh is the largest, followed by the area of flood plain, ditch accounts for about 1%, and the proportion of lake and river is less than 0.5%. Combined with the land use / cover classification map and the distribution of slope and elevation, it can be seen that nearly 60% of the area of forest land is distributed in 10 ° to 30 ° mountain area, and the rest of the land use / cover types are mainly distributed in 0 ° to 2 ° area. The elevation statistics show that nearly 80% of the lakes and large reservoirs are distributed in the height of 100 m to 300 m, the distribution of marsh is relatively uniform, mainly in the higher altitude area of 20 m to 300 m, the types of construction land, flood area and cultivated land are mainly concentrated in the area of 20 m to 100 m, and rivers and ditches are mainly concentrated in the area of 0 m to 100 m. Based on the classification results of land use / cover within the river, it can be found that the main land use type is wetland. Specifically, the types of marsh, flood area and lake are the most, while the types of ditch and river are less. With the increase of the buffer area, the proportion of non-wetland type gradually increased, while the proportion of wetland type gradually decreased. The main wetland types in 1-3km buffer zone on both sides of the river are marsh and flood zone. It is worth noting that nearly one third of the River belongs to cultivated land, that is, the river occupation is serious. In terms of area, about 1 / 3 rivers and 3 / 4 lakes are distributed in the river course. Most of the water bodies in the river course are controlled by human beings, but the marsh area in the river course only accounts for about 3% of the marsh area in the whole river course. In this study, 8 types of land features including river, flood plain, lake, marsh, ditch, cultivated land, forest land and construction land were selected. The total number of samples was 5199, of which 67% was used for supervised classification and 33% for accuracy verification of confusion matrix. The overall accuracy of support vector machine (SVM) classification results in Baiyangdian basin is 84.25%, and kappa coefficient is 0.82. River occupation will not only directly reduce the connectivity of wetlands in the basin, but also cause some environmental and economic problems such as water pollution. However, if the connectivity of wetlands is reduced, the ecological and environmental functions of wetlands will be destroyed, which will pose a great threat to the water security of the basin. Taking Baiyangdian basin as a whole, improving the connectivity of wetlands and enhancing the ecological and environmental functions of wetlands in the basin will help to improve the water ecological and environmental security of Xiong'an New Area and Baiyangdian basin.

Provincially Significant Wetlands (ROP15_Wetlands) are a component of Map 4 (Greenlands Network) of the Regional Official Plan (ROP), as adopted by Regional Council on June 16, 2009 and approved by the Ontario Municipal Board on June 18, 2015. Wetlands are lands that are seasonally or permanently flooded by shallow water, as well as lands where the water table is close to the surface. In either case, the presence of abundant water has caused the formation of hydric soils and has favoured the dominance of either hydrophytic or water tolerant plants. This dataset identifies wetlands in the Regional of Waterloo that have been classified as "Provincially Significant" by the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) based on their hydrological, biological and social assets.The Wetlands shown in this dataset include "Provincially Significant" wetlands within a 500m buffer of the Region of Waterloo boundaries. Where only a potion of an "Provincially Significant" wetland falls within the 500m buffer, the entire wetland was included in the Wetlands dataset.

Hurricane Sandy directly hit the Atlantic shoreline of New Jersey during several astronomical high tide cycles in late October, 2012. The eastern seaboard areas are subject to sea level rise and increased severity and frequency of storm events, prompting habitat and land use planning changes. Wetland Aquatic Research Center (WARC) has conducted detailed mapping of marine and estuarine wetlands and deepwater habitats, including beaches and tide flats, and upland land use/land cover, using specially-acquired aerial imagery flown at 1-meter resolution.These efforts will assist the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) continuing endeavors to map the barrier islands adhering to Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) guidelines. Mapped areas consist of selected federal lands including, National Park Service areas, USFWS National Wildlife Refuges, and selected CBRA Units, including barrier islands and marshes in New York and New Jersey. These vital wetland areas are important for migratory waterfowl and neotropical bird habitats, wildlife food chain support and nurseries for shellfish and finfish populations. Coastal wetlands also play an important function as storm surge buffers. This project includes mapping of dominant estuarine wetland plant species useful for wetland functional analysis and wildlife evaluation and management concerns. It also aims to integrate with and offer updated databases pertinent to: USFWS NWR and NWI programs, NOAA tide flats and beaches data, FEMA flood zone data, Natural Heritage Endangered and Threated Species, watershed management, and state and local land use planning.
