Soils Inland Wetland
The State of Connecticut defines inland wetlands based on soils. The Connecticut Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Act defines wetland soils to include any of the soil types designated as poorly drained, very poorly drained, alluvial, or floodplain by the National Cooperative Soil Survey, as may be periodically amended, of the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture.Map units dominated by Connecticut inland wetland soils may have inclusions of non-wetland soils, and non-wetland map units may have inclusions of Connecticut inland wetland soils. On site investigation is necessary to determine the presence or absence of wetland soils in a particular area.This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the mostdetailed level of soil geographic data developed by the NationalCooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizingmaps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct baseand digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotelysensed and other information.This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data andcomputerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey areaextent format and include a detailed, field verified inventoryof soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatablepattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown atthe scale mapped. The soil map units are linked to attributes in theNational Soil Information System relational database, which givesthe proportionate extent of the component soils and their properties.
