Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>In 2015, the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (MDOT SHA) received an NPDES MS4 permit (No. 11-DP-3313) from the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) to control storm-drain-system pollutant discharges in MS4-designated areas (see map below). The permit requires that we use restoration practices to treat 20% of existing MDOT SHA impervious surfaces and address stormwater wasteload allocations (WLAs) established under US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-approved Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL).</SPAN></P></DIV>
Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>The purpose of the Rural Legacy Program is to protect Maryland's best remaining rural landscapes and natural areas through the purchase of land or conservation easements. In a grass root approach, local government and land trusts (sponsors) apply to have places that are significant to the community and the state designated as Rural Legacy Areas. The Rural Legacy Areas file is a digital, polygon layer showing Marylands designated Rural Legacy areas. The file was compiled by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources using data supplied by Rural Legacy Area sponsors. Once a Rural Legacy area is designated, Rural Legacy sponsors can then apply for Rural Legacy grants for land or conservation easements within the Rural Legacy boundaries.</SPAN></P></DIV>
Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>This dataset provides a digital geospatial representation of regulated facility outfalls using data derived from various source data. The process by which this data set has been developed has been guided by Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) and is the result of multiple geoprocesses. It is important to note that point locations are approximate and many do not represent exact geographic locations of outfalls, rather the parcel that they are located in. It is also important to note that in some cases, due to the way the data was processed, outfalls and facilities may have the same coordinates, leading to points being stacked.</SPAN></P></DIV>

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>Stormwater Management Facilities (SWMFAC) are structural best management practices that temporarily store or treat stormwater runoff to reduce flooding, remove pollutants, and provide other amenities. Stormwater BMPs are impoundment areas that treat stormwater runoff to reduce flooding, remove pollutants, and provide other benefits such as wildlife attraction. Pollutant removal can be accomplished through retaining permanent pools of water, detaining water temporarily and then releasing it slowly, infiltrating runoff into the ground, filtering the water through a medium into the ground, or combining multiple treatments. Stormwater management facilities are represented as polygons in the database.</SPAN></P></DIV>
