WETID | The wetland identification code of the wetland. When a wetland contains included uplands, water bodies, tidal wetlands or other features, the polygon of the non-wetland feature is coded with UPL, WAT, TID or OTH, respectively, in columns 8 - 10 of this field and with the wetlands identification code of the surrounding wetland in the first 7 columns. Only the wetland identification code is a valid value for arcs. Wetlands with an extended adjacent area have an asterisk (*) directly following the wetland identification code as part of WETID. Found in PAT and AAT. | Unique ID |
CLASS | The regulatory class of the wetland as derived from the wetlands classification sheets. Values are 1, 2, 3, and 4 for Class I, II, III, and IV wetlands, respectively. A value of 0 is used for non-wetland features. A value of 9 is used for wetlands that do not have a class. Only non-zero values for class are valid for arcs. Found in PAT and AAT. | coded values |
REGU-ACRES | The total regulatory size in acres of the wetland. This total includes all polygons associated with the wetland such as included uplands or open water. This is the official regulatory wetland size as specified in the Freshwater Wetlands Act (ECL Section 24-0107(1)(c)). If more than one wetland in the county has the same wetland ID, this item will contain, incorrectly, the total area of all wetlands with the same wetland ID. Found in PAT. | calculated value |
WETL-ACRES | The total number of wetland acres in the wetland. This value is the sum of only the wetland polygons belonging to a wetland ID; it excludes any included uplands or open water bodies. This is an ecologically based total size, in contrast to the regulatory total given in REGU-ACRES. Found in PAT. | calculated value |
REGION-ACRES | The total number of regulated wetland acres as determined by DEC regional office staff. This item has a value only if DEC regional staff have determined a value for the size of the wetland that they consider more accurate than the value determined by the geographic information system. Regional value may be determined from wetland maps at scales larger than 1 to 24,000, from surveys, or from other means. This item may be coded as 0 for some or all of the wetlands in a county coverage if regional staff have not determined a value. Where REGION-ACRES exists, it should be considered the correct value to be used in place of REGU-ACRES. Found in PAT. | calculated value |
POLY-ACRES | The number of acres in the individual polygon. | calculated value |
#_PARCELS | The number of separate wetland polygons, or separate areas of wetland, making up the regulated wetland. | calculated value |
