Description: Prioritized Catchments scored on 6 weighted metrics: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sediment loads estimated by CAST at the HUC 12 scale, average stream length per parcel, stream bank volume lost, buffer restoration opportunity area, and percent of streams impaired. See individual layers for more information. The opportunity score represents the level of opportunity for restoration in a given catchment, where higher opportunity should be higher priority. Scores are further characterized into Tiers 1-5, where Tier 1 and Tier 2 catchments are higher priority for restoration. 2019.
