Wetlands that are currently mapped or officially proposed for addition to the wetland maps and currently regulated under the New York State Freshwater Wetlands Act outside the Adirondack Park. They do not show ALL wetlands that may be present in an area. There may be additional wetlands on a site that may be protected under local or federal law. This map information is also available as paper maps or as digital data.DEC occasionally amends the regulatory maps to correct errors, such as inaccurate boundaries or wetlands that are missing from the maps. These amendments are conducted through a formal process that includes public notice and an opportunity to comment on the accuracy of the amendment. When official notice of the amendment has been placed, the area proposed for addition becomes regulated and the proposed amendment changes will be included on the website. When new maps are completed, they are filed in the offices of local government clerks. At that time, the boundaries on this website are also updated.Around every state-protected wetland is an “adjacent area” that is also subject to regulation in order to help better protect the wetland against surrounding disturbance. This adjacent area is a minimum of 100 feet, but has been extended for a limited number of particularly sensitive wetlands.The map displayed in this application shows a “Check Zone”, which is an area surrounding a wetland, as depicted on the map, that may also contain wetlands. DEC strongly suggests that if you are considering buying land or undertaking a project within this “check zone” that you request a more precise delineation to determine where the actual wetland boundary may be. To request a delineation, please contact your Regional DEC Office.There are a number of reasons why the boundary may be different from those actually drawn on the map:The mapping is intended to show the approximate location of the actual wetland boundary. The official regulatory maps are drawn at a scale (usually 1" = 2000') that does not establish an exact wetland boundary.When you zoom in on a wetland on the computer, you are attempting to look at the wetland boundary more precisely than the scale at which the wetland was mapped.Wetlands change over time and some maps may have been created over 35 years ago. The actual wetland boundaries may have changed since that time.Wetland classifications: Wetlands are classified from Class I (which provide the most benefits) to Class IV (which provide fewer benefits). The classification is based on the work that wetlands do, such as storing flood water and providing wildlife habitat. The system for classifying wetlands is contained in the New York State wetlands Classification System . Information about how any individual wetland was classified is contained in program files at the regional DEC office in which the wetland is located. Information on how wetlands are mapped can be found at DEC's Freshwater Wetlands Mapping pages https://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/5124.html Not all activities in wetlands are regulated. There are many exempt activities that landowners may undertake without permits, however, if you are not sure, please contact your regional DEC office to help you determine if a permit is required.For additional information on NYS Freshwater Wetlands, see DEC's Freshwater Wetlands pages https://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/4937.html For information on wetlands inside the Adirondack Park , please contact the Adirondack Park Agency https://www.apa.ny.gov/ .

This feature class/shapefile represents electric power substations primarily associated with electric power transmission. In this layer, substations are considered facilities and equipment that switch, transform, or regulate electric power at voltages equal to, or greater than, 69 kilovolts. Substations with a maximum operating voltage less than 69 kilovolts may be included, depending on the availability of authoritative sources, but coverage of these features should not be considered complete. The Substations feature class/shapefile includes taps, a location where power on a transmission line is tapped by another transmission line. The following updates have been made since the previous release: 6,359 features added.
