In Maryland certain wetlands with rare - threatened - endangered species or unique habitat receive special attention. The Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) Title 26 - Subtitle 23 - Chapter 06 - Sections 01 & 02 identifies these Wetlands of Special State Concern (WSSC) and affords them certain protections including a 100 foot buffer from development. The Maryland Department of the Environment is responsible for identifying and regulating these wetlands. In general - the US Fish and Wildlife Service's National Wetlands Inventory wetlands provide the basis for identifying these special wetlands. Additional information - determined from field inspections - is used to identify and classify these areas.
