dc.description.abstract |
A user-friendly, turnkey method was developed using GIS (geographic
information system)-based screening and ranking procedures to aid in the identification
of sites with high potential for wetland mitigation in the Mill Creek, Yellow Creek, and
Meander Creek watersheds. The procedures use well established, publicly available data
sets, including soil type, land cover, waterways, and topography overlaid in digital format
so that the watershed study area can be analyzed spatially. A GIS database for wetlands
and related factors in the Mill Creek, Yellow Creek, and Meander Creek watersheds was
created. Application of the ranking screening technique yielded several large "Target
Areas" in the Mill Creek and Meander Creek watersheds with high potential for wetland
mitigation. It is recommended that the AWARE (Alliance for Watershed Action and
Riparian Easements) Wetland Mitigation Committee use the ranking procedure
developed in this study to identify and evaluate numerous sites within the three
watersheds worthy of further investigation for potential wetland mitigation. This
information can serve as a starting point for approaching landowners to discuss the
acquisition of land parcels for wetland mitigation. The screening and ranking procedures
may contribute to the development of an effective Wetland Mitigation Plan as established
under the objectives of the AWARE Watershed Action Plan. |
