The updated version of this metric, now called “Project Adjacency,” considers the location of proposed projects in relation to both existing DMS projects and other similarly protected lands at the USGS catchment scale and at the HUC12 sub-watershed level.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:&amp;quot;Avenir Next&amp;quot;, Avenir, &amp;quot;Helvetica Neue&amp;quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0px 0px 1rem; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'&gt;&lt;span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:11pt;'&gt;&lt;span style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; line-height:16.8667px;'&gt;This layer was created using USGS catchments and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://www.ncnhp.org/' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'&gt;&lt;span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:11pt;'&gt;&lt;span style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; line-height:16.8667px;'&gt; North Carolina Natural Heritage Program&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:11pt;'&gt;&lt;span style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; line-height:16.8667px;'&gt; (NHP) Managed Areas (MA) data.

This data will initially be released in phases, coinciding at first with RFP issuances, and as procedures are refined, eventually available for the entire state. DMS watershed planning will conduct at minimum a yearly audit of this dataset for newly added or updated protected GAP 1 + 2 land data. All submittals will be assessed individually by the technical scoring team and additional contexts or data may be considered during the scoring process, which may impact final scores.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);
