Abstract: A Significant Vernal Pool (SVP) is defined as a Significant Wildlife Habitat under Maine’s Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA). This act designates the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW) as the authority responsible for mapping and rating these habitats. This GIS dataset includes all Significant Vernal Pools currently mapped. This GIS dataset depicts the 250-foot critical terrestrial habitat areas surrounding the Significant Vernal Pool (SVP) or Potentially Significant Vernal Pool (PSVP) depression. These vernal pools were mapped and surveyed in the field by wetland consultants, Maine Department of Environmental Protection staff and Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife biologists.Please refer to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection's website for more information onSignificant Wildlife Habitat: Significant Vernal Pool Habitat

Use Constraints: This GIS dataset is provided by the Maine Department of
Inland Fisheries and Wildlife for identifying Significant Wildlife Habitat
areas protected under Maine’s Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA). It does
not include areas that do not meet the NRPA definition and is not intended to
be a comprehensive representation of any specific habitat. Users are
responsible for using this GIS dataset as intended. Do not use this GIS dataset
at scales below 1:6,000. To ensure that this GIS dataset is the most current
version available, access it directly from the Maine Office of GIS (MEGIS) or
from an MDIFW webservice.
Providing public access to wildlife habitat data is not
intended as a substitute for consultation with MDIFW staff regarding permit
applications or environmental reviews.
Identifying Significant Vernal Pools as Significant Wildlife
Habitats (SWHs) pursuant to the Maine Natural Resources Protection Act (38 M.R.S., §480-B(10)) and SWH Rules
(06-096 CMR Ch. 335, 09-137, CMR Ch. 10) is the only use that is
endorsed by MDIFW; other uses may or may not be valid.
