Slide35 : Determining Past to Present Trends Analysis Methodology Overlay Overlayed 1981 NWI wetlands mapping with 1993 DNR wetlands mapping. Matrix Compared differences between the 1981 and 1993 wetlands data. (*See matrix on following slide. ) Trends Compared results of overlay analysis with county-wide published trends. Trends Projected past to present wetland losses to the future time frame Conclusion that cumulative effects to wetlands will occur but may be less than historic trends based upon regulations MD 5 Land Use Note - Please refer to the MD 5 example in Module 4 1981 - 1989 Charles County Trends (USFWS) 1981 National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) wetlands mapping 1993 Department of Natural Resources (DNR) wetlands mapping Resource Mapping Published Trends MD 5 - Hughesville Transportation Improvement Project Wetlands - Integrating Overlay, Trends and Matrix Analyses Data Sources


Slide36 : MD 5 - Hughesville Transportation Improvement Project Wetlands - Possible Analysis Following SHA SCEA Guidelines


Slide37 : MD 5 - Hughesville Transportation Improvement Project Natural Environmental Resources - Wetlands


Slide38 : MD 5 - Hughesville Transportation Improvement Project Proposed Charles County Development (Near Future 1-5 yrs) NRHP eligible sites identified within the project’s direct impact study area NRHP listed sites MD Inventory of Historic Properties (MIHP) sites. Analysis Methodology Overlay Overlay “NRHP” listed/ eligible and “MIHP” sites with proposed development (including the proposed project action) within the SCEA geographical boundary. Conclusion that cumulative effects to historic sites will occur but will be minimized based upon Federal and State regulations. MD 5 Land Use Note - Please refer to the MD 5 example in Module 4. Documented coordination with Office of Preservation Review which identified no readily available data regarding past loss of cultural resources within the SCEA geographical boundary. Past to Present Present to Future Historic Properties - Overlay Analysis Data Sources Land Use Resources
