This version was most recently updated inAugust 2023 and is consistent with Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) Section 26.08.02.08 as of January 2019 and August 2023. This Geodatabase includes4 feature classes: Existiing Desinated Use Classes, the Rivers and Streams, Impoundments, and Tidal Waters. All feature classes provide a geospatial representation of Maryland\u2019s surface water bodies and provide the use classes (and therefore designated uses) assigned to each water body (e.g., line or polygon) in the COMAR 26.08.02.08. Though this data set is the best visual representation of the use classes described in COMAR, when any discrepancies occur between this geodatabase and COMAR, always default to COMAR. \n", "summary": "Designated Use Classes for Rivers and Stream, Lakes and Resevoirs and Tidal Waters", "title": "MarylandsUseClasses", "tags": [ "Surface Water; Water Quality; Integrated Report; MDE" ], "type": "Map Service", "typeKeywords": [ "Data", "Service", "Map Service", "ArcGIS Server" ], "thumbnail": "thumbnail/{AFC12113-0B51-4D53-943A-2AA9773F480B}.png", "url": "https://mdewin64.mde.state.md.us:6443/arcgis/services/MDE_Water_Quality/MDE_UseClasses/MapServer", "extent": [ [ -79.4868947526183, 37.8856797804637 ], [ -74.9852128599962, 39.7230277542802 ] ], "spatialReference": "WGS_1984_Web_Mercator_Auxiliary_Sphere", "accessInformation": "MDE, WSA", "licenseInfo": "Acknowledgement of the Maryland Department of the Environment, Water and Science Administration as a data source would be appreciated in products developed from these data, and such acknowledgement as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected by users of this data.
