SLOPE

Polygon data showing slope in eight classses. Derived from 30 meter Digital Elevation 
Models. 

This data is very general and should not be relied on for site-specific analysis.

_______________________________________________

Slope class is indicated by a series of classes in increments of 5% by the item GRID_CODE.

GRID_CODE

0	Flat to 2.5%
5	2.5 to 7.5%
10	7.5 to 12.5%
15	12.5 to 15.5%
.
.
.
170	167.5 to 172.5%


----------------------
Percent slope is an expression of the steepness of slope. It indicates the 
vertical rise in elevation per unit of horizontal distance. For example: 30% slope 
indicates a 30 foot rise in elevation for every 100 feet of horizontal distance.
