MD DNR, Nontidal Wetlands of Special State Concern
In Maryland certain wetlands with rare, threatened, endangered species or unique Habitat receive special attention. The Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) Title 26, Subtitle 23, Chapter 06, Sections 01 & 02 identifies
these Wetlands of Special State Concern (WSSC)and
affords them certain protections including a 100 foot buffer
from development. The Maryland Department of the
Environment is responsible for identifying and regulating
these wetlands. In general, the US Fish and Wildlife
Service's National Wetlands Inventory wetlands provide the
basis for identifying these special wetlands. Additional
information, determined from field inspections, is used to
identify and classify these areas. |
