NRI/Forest Stand Delineation (File Geodatabase)

Natural Resource Inventory/Forest Stand Delineations (NRI/FSDs) and Forest Conservation Plan Exemptions (FCPEs) are intended to document and map the locations of all existing environmental on-site features, including but not limited to topography, wetlands, floodplains, streams, and specimen trees. The difference between an NRI/FSD and an FCP Exemption is the way the plans are used in our planning process. NRI/FSDs must be approved before a Forest Conservation Plan application can be submitted. FCP Exemptions, once confirmed, exempt the applicant from having to submit a Forest Conservation Plan as part of future applications. For FCP Exemptions, applicants must identify which section of Forest Conservation Law 22-5A they believe they are exempt under. For both NRI/FSDs and FCP Exemptions there are three possible levels of detail required: Full NRI/FSDs: Required where forest exists on the property and is impacted by the proposed activity. Full NRI/FSDs must include a forest stand delineation and thorough description of the forest characteristics. Simplified NRI: Appropriate where no forest exists on the property, and therefore does not need to include a forest stand delineation or description of forest characteristics. Existing Conditions Plan: Simplified plan showing only basic site details in addition to extent of disturbance proposed. Applicants must receive permission from Montgomery Planning Staff to submit an Existing Conditions Plan.
