An Approach to Conserving Maine's Natural Space for Plants, Animals, and People
Water Resources & Riparian HabitatsWater Resources & Riparian HabitatsPrimary Map 1Primary Map 1
This map is nonregulatory and is intended for planning purposes onlyOrlandOrland
This m ap depicts riparian areas associated with m ajor surface water features and im portant public water resources. This m ap does not depict all stream s or wetlands known to occur on the landscape and should not be used as a substitute for on the ground surveys. This m ap should be used as a planning reference only and is intended to illustrate the natural hydrologic connections between surface water features. P rotecting riparian habitats protects water quality, m aintains habitat connections, and safegards im portant econom ic resources including recreational and com m ercial fisheries.
LEGEND
Shoreland ZoningMaine’s Mandatory Shoreland Zoning Act is intended to protect water quality, conserve wildlife habitat, and preserve the natural beauty of Maine’s shoreline areas. Successful im plem entation requires local awareness of and appreciation for surface water resources and effective enforcem ent of setback and buffer requirem ents. At a m inim um , Maine’s shoreland zones include all land within: • 250 feet of the high-water line of any pond over 10 acres, any river that drains at least 25 square m iles, and all tidal waters and saltwater m arshes; • 250 feet of a freshwater wetland over 10 acres (ex cept “forested” wetlands); and • 75 feet of a stream that is either an outlet stream of a great pond, or located below the confluence of two perennial stream s as depicted on a U SGS topographic m ap.Sh o reland zo n in g enco urages to w n s to p ro vide g reater p ro tectio n to th eir lo cal water reso urces by ap p lyin g sh o reland zo n e p ro tectio n s to additio n al reso urce typ es such as sm aller stream s and wetlands, and rare terrestrial features.

A watershed includes all of the land that drains to a com m onwaterbody. The areas within the watershed are linked eco-logically by the water, sedim ent, nutrients, and pollutants that flow through them . For the purpose of m apping"hydrological units," watersheds are often grouped into larger drainages or divided into sm aller ones dpending on the m ap's scale. Drainage divides (shown on m ain m ap as yellow lines), are the sm allest hydrological units and generally drain into sm all ponds, wetlands, or stream s. These units are grouped into subwatersheds (H U 12) and are repre-sented on the inset m ap above by the yellow-brown outlines.

NWI Wetlands - National W etlands Inventory (NW I) uses aerial photographs to approx im ate wetland locations. NW I data is not a com prehensive m apping of wetland resources and typically under represents the presence of wetlands on the landscape. The presence of wetlands needs to be determ ined in the field prior to conducting activities that could result in wetland disturbance.Riparian Habitat - depicted using com m on regulatory zones including a 250-foot-wide strip around Great P onds (ponds >10 acres), rivers, coastline, and wetlands >10 acres and a 75-foot-wide strip around stream s. R iparian areas depicted on this m ap m ay already be affected by ex isting land uses.
Drainage divides - These are the sm allest hydrologic units m apped in Maine. They contain watershed boundaries for m ost ponds and rivers in Maine.
Brook Trout Habitat - Stream s and ponds, buffered to 100 feet, where wild Brook Trout populations have been docum ented, or m anaged to enhance local fisheries.
Developed- Im pervious surfaces including buildings and roads
Shellfish Growing Areas - The Maine Departm ent of Marine R esources m aps growing areas for econom ically im portant shellfish resources. This m ap depicts softshell and hard clam resources in order to illustrate the relation of these resources to stream s and shoreline areas vital to their conservation.

&% Public Water Supply WellsSource protection area - Buffers that represent source water protection areasfor wells and surface water intakes that serve the public water supply. Their size is proportional to population served and/or by the type of water supply system . These buffers range from 300 to 2,500 feet in radius.
Aquifers - flow of at least 10 gallons per m inute

P recipitation is the source of all water. Surface water and ground water are related. Drinking water can com e from either source. Ground contam inants can affect both.The relationship between ground water and surface water is part of the hydrologic cycle. Precipitation that falls from the atm osphere as rain or snow reaches the land surface and recharges rivers, lakes, wetlands, and other surface bodies of water directly through overland runoff. Surface water also seeps into the ground through infiltration and eventually reaches the ground water; or through evaporation, returns to the atm osphere. W ater evaporates from leaves and stem s of plants through transpiration.
