This includes undeveloped and natural areas. The red to deep red land uses offer the greatest risk of high suspended particulate concentrations in runoff from the area. Please click on the map for a larger view. The map at left shows wetlands and the relative risk to each for receiving suspended particulate pollution. This analysis is based upon the method and results described above.
Blue areas indicate land uses for which there are insufficient data to analyze.
These are wetlands that are surrounded by natural areas, preserves, or vacant land. The scale of suspended particulate pollution risk corresponds to a gradient of color from white to deep red. Wetlands that are white to light red in color have lower risks for receiving particulate pollutants. Wetlands that are red to deep red have the highest risk. Please click on the map for a larger view.
