Maps of Water Use Categories 2 1 U D (B) Boundary Line Designations The following boundary line designations describe those points along the coastline where one water use type changes to another. Each mapped boundary is coded by letter on each quadrangle map to a verbal description as listed below. Except where otherwise noted, the water use classifications along any shoreline reach and between any two boundary line designations run parallel to the general coastal trend and extend 500 feet seaward from the mean high water mark. All water areas within the bounds of channel markers as depicted on U.S. Department of Commerce Nautical Charts #13221 and #13205 (1978) are considered navigation channels, and are classified as type 3, 4, 5, or 6 waters, as appropriate. Legend Water use category Type 1 Conservation areas (Section 200.1) Type 2 Low-intensity use (Section 200.2) Type 3 High-intensity boating (Section 200.3) Type 4 Multipurpose waters (Section 200.4) Type 5 Commercial and Recreational harbors (Section 200.5) Type 6 Industrial waterfronts and Commercial navigation channels (Section 200.6) Boundary between water use categories Coastal wetland in Type 3, 4, 5,and 6 waters designated for preservation (Section 210.3) Boundary of barrier islands (Section 210.2 and Table 4) D developed barrier M moderately developed barrier U undeveloped barrier Erosion-prone area requiring additional setbacks for selected structures (Section 140) (A) 75-foot setback (B) 120-foot setback (C) 150-foot setback (D) 180-foot setback Watershed of poorly-flushed estuaries where the review of proposed subdivisions is required (Section 320) Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Program Rev.
