Tompkins County steep-slope & wetlands.
Tompkins County is gorge country: Ithaca's waterfalls, Cayuga Lake's steep east and west shores, and hillside neighborhoods where municipalities actively regulate steep-slope development. Parcel-level slope numbers are a routine part of planning-board submissions here.
