Slope

The map below shows Slope. Slope is the rate of change in elevation for land.

Blue regions (less than 0.5% slope) are so flat that extra steps might need to be taken to prevent ponding of water after storm events.

Green regions are ideal, with a slight slope that will allow for water runoff with minimal erosion.

Yellow and red regions have up to 5% slope, which might require some remediation for building to exist.

Black regions have over 5% slope. These areas would be less ideal for development because of the costs associated with managing erosion and providing road access.
