Hi,

There are some minor updates I'd like to make to the About text on the mapper to reflect the new riparian data. See text below for the first paragraph in the About text. The text with changes are shown below in bold

The Utah Geological Survey (UGS) is part of an ongoing effort to develop a comprehensive, statewide wetland mapping program with the goal of updating spatial data for wetland resources across the state. All Utah wetlands are mapped to National Wetland Inventory (NWI) standards developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; however, mapping is not meant to be used as the basis for a jurisdictional wetland delineation. Riparian spatial data are also available for parts of the state where integrated riparian-wetland mapping has occurred. This map contains the most up-to-date NWI wetland and riparian data for the state as well as additional information on wetland resources in the state, including links to reports from wetland field assessment studies and distributional data for sensitive amphibian species. See Database Contents for more information on the data in this map.
