4/20/23, 1:46 PM IPaC:Explore Location resources <br /> Wetland information is not available at this time <br /> This can happen when the National Wetlands Inventory(NWI) map service is unavailable, or <br /> for very large projects that intersect many wetland areas. Try again, or visit the NWI map to <br /> view wetlands at this location. <br /> Data limitations <br /> The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level <br /> information on the location, type and size of these resources.The maps are prepared from the analysis of <br /> high altitude imagery.Wetlands are identified based on vegetation,visible hydrology and geography.A <br /> margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery;thus, detailed on-the-ground inspection of any particular <br /> site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis. <br /> The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery,the experience of the image <br /> analysts,the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work <br /> conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any <br /> mapping problems. <br /> Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work.There <br /> may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted <br /> on the map and the actual conditions on site. <br /> Data exclusions <br /> Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of <br /> aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands.These habitats include seagrasses or <br /> submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and <br /> nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities(coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also <br /> been excluded from the inventory.These habitats, because of their depth,go undetected by aerial <br /> imagery. <br /> Data precautions <br /> Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe <br /> wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory.There is no attempt, in either the design or <br /> products of this inventory,to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local <br /> government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. <br /> Persons intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should <br /> seek the advice of appropriate Federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory <br /> programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities. <br /> https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/LNE5CWJ4CVF7TO2167UH5XMZZ4/resources 12/12 <br />
