WATERSHED SURVEY SITE INFORMATION
AND RATINGS

EXPLANATION OF SITE EVALUATION RATINGS

   BACK CONTENTS NEXT   
 

Impact of Site

High: Direct discharge into the Marsh or a water body with obvious signs of pollution.
Medium: Direct discharge into the Marsh or a water body with no obvious signs of pollution, or discharge into a buffer with obvious signs of pollution.
Low: Discharges into a buffer with no obvious signs of pollution.
None: No apparent discharge from the site.
 

Technical Level to Install

High: Requires an engineered design to correct the situation, such as would be required for a stormwater treatment system.
Medium: Requires a construction contractor with the necessary expertise and equipment to correct the situation, such as would be required for installing rip rap.
Low: Landowner would be capable of correcting the situation using their own design and equipment, such as could be done by planting vegetated buffers.
None: Does not require any technical expertise to correct a situation, such as picking up after dogs.
 

Cost

High: Applies to projects requiring engineered designs and considerable earthmoving and installation of structures.
Medium: Applies to projects with relatively limited earthmoving required, such as for reshaping ditches.
Low: Applies to projects that could be conducted with hand labor, such as planting buffers.
None: Applies to situations where an activity or ceasing an activity will have no added cost.
