The LWI Study Area dataset is part of the Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) Local Wetlands Inventory (LWI) LWI_Statewide dataset. The study area defines the boundary(ies) of the area investigated for the development of the LWI. |
| accessInformation:
|
Local Wetlands Inventories received and approved by DSL dating from 1992 through 2019 were digitized and standardized by DSL, Institute for Natural Resources, and Oregon State University Libraries and Press. DSL combined the individual standardized LWI datasets into an LWI_Statewide dataset. New LWIs are added to the LWI_Statewide dataset upon approval by DSL. Individual LWIs are developed by consultants for local governments. Find full reports, citations, maps, and individual LWI GIS datasets on the DSL LWI web page.
The digitizing and standardization of LWI GIS datasets approved by the Oregon Department of State Lands prior to 2018 has been funded wholly or in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under assistance agreement number CD-01J37701-02 to the Oregon Department of State Lands. The contents of this LWI dataset do not necessarily reflect the views and policies of the Environmental Protection Agency, nor does mention of trade names or commercial products constitute endorsement or recommendation for use. |
