Jurisdictional wetlands are those wetlands protected by the Clean Water Act. They must have

a minimum of one positive wetland indicator from each parameter (i.e., vegetation, soil, and

hydrology). The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requires a permit to fill or dredge jurisdictional

wetlands. [COE]

181. WIND ROSE. A circular diagram showing, for a specific location, the percentage of the time

the wind is from each compass direction. A wind rose for use in assessing consequences of

airborne releases also shows the frequency of different wind speeds for each compass

direction. [Derived from GLM]

182. X-RAYS. Penetrating electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength much shorter than that

of visible light. X-rays are identical to gamma rays, but originate outside the nucleus, either

when the inner orbital electrons of an excited atom return to their normal state or when a metal

target is bombarded with high-speed electrons. [Derived from HPRH, NCRP 65]
