<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>This dataset consists of a digital geospatial representation of all identified Tier II segments in the State of Maryland. Based on data collected between 1995-2105, this dataset currently contains information for 253 designated Tier II stream segments. Main segment breakpoints were determined using the 100,000:1 National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). The final designated Tier II segments are the merged sub segments that make up the 24,000:1 NHD meeting the 100,000:1 breakpoints. Tier II stream segments generally terminate at confluences, impoundment outfalls, and tidal boundaries. </SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
