Consists of only the 50-foot-wide new permanent maintained easement for the proposed pipeline facilities. Acreages were calculated using polygon analysis and therefore totals may not always equate to a straight length times width calculation.

Open areas consist of agricultural fields including hay fields and pasture and other undeveloped, un-forested areas defined as “open” in Resource Report 8.

Aquatic areas consist of wetland and waterbody distance and acreages measured between edges of buffers (indicated by reduced TWS width) on each side of the wetland or stream.

Developed areas consist of lands associated with roads, railroads, residential, and industrial/other land use categories as defined in Resource Report 8.
