Pursuant to §7.1 of the Vermont Wetland Rules (VWR), the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) has submitted a petition to the Vermont Natural Resources Board (NRB) to approve revisions to the Vermont Significant Wetland Inventory (VSWI) Maps. The proposed revisions more accurately depict wetland boundaries of currently mapped wetlands, including contiguous wetlands already protected under the VWR; and other significant wetlands that have been identified since the original maps were adopted in 1990.
The proposed revision includes data layers from the updated National Wetland Inventory maps by the National Wetland Inventory of the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW), on which the original VSWI maps were based; town resource inventories; National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) hydric soils maps; and map corrections as documented by ANR Wetland Section staff ecologists.
