Duncan Island high ground included in error #60

Open LauraBrophy opened 5 years ago

LauraBrophy commented 5 years ago

On Duncan Island, near the homesite on the WRP acreage, high ground above the 50% exceedance line is included in the Aquatic Setting and Biotic Component mapping. It should be excluded due to its elevation.

This is not a “small area” that would be included because it represents vegetation interference; it’s a high natural levee. Similar high natural levee surfaces to the east were excluded from the Aquatic Setting and Biotic Component mapping.
