Some classes at this level are not well-represented statewide, in many cases because they are from a site-based source, and therefore are most appropriately used at the site scale. The SITE level is not appropriate for statewide analyses. b The reflects the classification level where we have reasonable confidence in the statewide distribution of that class. This level is recommended for statewide analysis. Subclasses of this level which may appear in the Name field are not well-represented statewide.
