A biodiversity sensitivity map produced for a utility company's service area

This is an example of the maps Exelon has produced for the biodiversity sensitivity in its service areas. The Delmarva Power Service Area, outlined in black, covers Delaware and eastern Maryland, though this map also includes characterization for Exelon service areas outside of Delmarva. Factors contributing to high sensitivity (in orange and red tones) in certain areas of Delmarva include the presence of forests and wetlands, water stress and high species abundance in high sensitivity areas.
