Description: This feature class combines the Wetland_DNR_Py and Wetland_Special_State_DNR_Py (Wetlands of Special State Concern) from SDE for the purpose of building a composite buffer system around all of the county's wetlands.
Description: This feature class is derived from the Hydro_Area_2017_Py dataset. Where a body of water overlaps a stream/river from the Hydro_Line_2017_Ln feature class, that polygon is taken as a representation of the stream/river's actual area, which allows for the calculation of a more accurate stream/river buffer. Each polygon is described by the Environmental Strategy Area (ESA) it is in, which determines the stream/river's minimum buffer requirement. For streams/rivers in ESA 4, which is the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area, the CBCA_DES field describes the overlay zone the stream/river is in, which also affects the minimum buffer requirement.

Description: This feature class shows approximations of stream and wetland buffers as they are outlined in Subtitles 5B and 24 of the Prince George's County Code. Each buffer is described by the Environmental Strategy Area (ESA) it is in, the feature it applies to (stream or wetland), and its minimum required distance. For buffers in ESA 4, the CBCA_TYPE field indicates which Chesapeake Bay Critical Area overlay the buffer is in, which affects the minimum buffer requirements.

Description: This feature class describes Prince George's County's Environmental Strategy Areas (ESAs), which guide stream and wetland buffer requirements. Areas 1, 2, and 3 coincide with the 2002 General Plan Tiers, where ESA 1 is the Developed Tier, ESA 2 is the Developing Tier, and ESA 3 is the Rural Tier. ESA 4 is the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Overlay Zone (CBCA). ESA 4 is further subdivided into three CBCA zones -- Resource Conservation, Limited Development, and Intense Development -- which also have implications for stream buffer requirements.
