Measure & Locate

Measure and Locate is a blank graph you can use for gathering information about your site. Select the Measure and Locate form so that you can print it and include it in your Project Folder. Use the red "Back" arrow at top to return to this page.

Place the following items on your Measure and Locate graph:

House and outbuildings Patio/deck Property lines Shoreline Existing beach/access area/dock

Identify and Locate:

Water level history - ordinary high water (OHW) and record high/low water lines Shoreline zones (aquatic, transitional, and upland) Soil type (sand, clay, loam) in aquatic, transitional, and upland zones Soil moisture (areas excessively wet or excessively dry) Existing vegetation (trees, shrubs, grasses, wildflowers, invasive species) Exposure: sunny and shady areas Potential buffer setback (25' from shore) Slopes, drainage patterns, eroding areas

NOTE: Also map other natural or semi-natural areas that abut your property - these are "connecting" areas.

The Measure and Locate form is an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) file that requires Adobe's free Acrobat Reader 5.0 or newer to open. If you do not have Acrobat Reader installed or are having trouble opening the form, click the button at right to "run" the Acrobat Reader 5.05 installer program from it's current location on this CD.
