Description: The national easement geospatial dataset is an aggregate layer of conservation easements received from each state, used to identify, monitor, and enhance the spatial accuracy of restoration program polygons. The dataset is a national layer of conservation easement polygons (or centroids derived from the polygons) that represents where a voluntary, legally binding agreement between landowners and the USDA is located. This agreement limits certain types of uses or prevents development from taking place on a piece of property now and in the future, for the stated purpose of protecting the property's ecological or open-space agricultural values. However, these spatial easement boundaries are not an exact representation of the legal easement boundary and should not be used for any purposes beyond general planning.Collecting the easement geospatial data is required as part of the easement monitoring and management responsibilities to protect the Federal investment. As a responsible Federal agency, NRCS must be able to identify where the Federal interest is located and ensure easement compliance. The national database is updated monthly.These data are prepared for use by the Natural Resources Conservation Service for USDA Service Center personnel to administer agency programs. Contract numbers and any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) are removed when serving these maps to the public.For all new easements, the source should be a legal survey or precision GPS. Legal survey includes coordinate geometry (COGO). Older easements were frequently digitized from Digital Orthophotography Quarter Quads (DOQQ) (1:12,000) or NAIP Imagery (1:24,000). For other programs, data capture can be from 1:2,400 to 1:12,000. No overlaps of easement polygons are allowed, enforced by topology rule.Easement boundary areas and easement point layers are available. The point centroid layer is generated by feature to point from the easement polygons. The location of the resulting point is the average of the input multipoint's x&y values. This centroid becomes the pivotal point for imagery association.Please visit: Natural Resources Conservation Service at https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/national/programs/easements for more information.Format: vector areas and points – ESRI File GeoDataBase

Description: The DNR Lands data consists of mapped information that represent lands owned by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. In some cases, DNR-owned lands include potential/planned acquisition areas (project boundaries) that are not actually in State ownership at this time. This coverage was created from clipping the state wide coverage for the area of Worcester County only. This data set has been updated by the WRGIS to reflect the sales made to the State of MD for the Cheapeake Properties that were formally in the privately owned conservation lands data. Dave Wilson from the MCPBP informed the WRGIS verbally that the Chesapeake Properties had been purchased by the State. Worcester County DRP has migrated this data to "line up" spatially with the Worcester County vector parcel layer. Last updated by Technical Services Division, April 2010. This data set was udated to reflect the current State owned lands data based on the downloaded data from DNR 8/24/16

Copyright Text: Data from individual county and state records were used in production of DNR Lands. Specific Project boundary maps, subdivision plats and deed plots were used to create boundary polygons.
Description: This data set consists of all Rural Legacy conservation easements purchased via the Rural Legacy Program (RLP) since its inception in 1997. The easements are perpetual; most are held by Worcester County. In some cases, federal FRPP funding has matched RLP funds for easement purchase. Worcester County has two Rural Legacy Areas (RLAs): Coastal Bays RLA and Dividing Creek RLA. The purpose of the program is to preserve large, contiguous tracts of land and to enhance natural resource, agricultural, forestry and environmental protection while supporting a sustainable land base for natural resource based industries.
Description: The Worcester County Agriculture Districts coverage is a digital representation of the established agriculture districts and purchased and donated easements within the County. The boundaries were digitized from a list,provided by Worcester County DRPs, with tax map and parcel # information. The parcels were digitized utilizing the digital tax maps provided in the MD Property View soft ware package provided by the MD Office of Planning. The districts are created in conjunction with the MD Agriculture Land Preservation Foundation (MALPF). The easements are held by MDA. This dataset is a combination of three files Worcester Co. Ag. easement data (agdist_1_03) and the MD DNR data, wo_ag_ease1of2, and wo_ag_ease 2of2. The WRGIS received these two file from the state. One data file created from the three. *SEE THE META DATA FILES FOR THE STATE DATA*** file names - wo_ag_ease1of2.met and wo_ag_ease_2of2.met

Description: This is a polygon feature class representing the Forest Conservation Mitigation Retention Areas within Worcester County. These areas constist of existing forest land. The property owners of the land have set aside their land in a permanent protected easement and are required to keep the easements in forest in perpetuity. These mitigation easements are located on privately owned land and are retention areas. There are times when obtaining compliance with Forest Conservation Laws are difficult within a "subject site" for development. The law provides a method for a developer to obtain a credit from an off-site mitigation area, provided that the "subject site" and the "mitigation area" are located in the same watershed. These Forest Conservation Mitigation Retention Areas are the "off-site" locations used to obtain the credit. For further information/requirements for these Forest Mitigation Retention Areas contact the Department of Development Review and Permitting, Worcester County Government Center. 410.632.1200. (ext 1146) Jenelle Gerthoffer is the current forest Conservatio Specialist for this program at this time
Description: This data set represents forest conservaton easements within Worcester County. Currently, the Department of Development Review and Permitting maintains this dataset. Features were compiled into this data set using the following sources: COGO, tax map reference, GPS in the field, or CAD file from surveyor.
