(b) The appendices shall contain the following maps:

1. A soils map showing the soil group classifications that apply to the property, based on information obtained from the National Resource Conservation Service's Web Soil Survey at http://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov no more than one year prior to the date the plan is submitted for review;

2.

(4) The uses being made of the land at the time the plan is prepared and submitted for review; and

(5) Any existing or proposed access route, constructed or maintained for forest management, that crosses a waterbody, waterway, wetland, transition area associated with the wetland, flood hazard area, and/or riparian zone.

(c) Each map shall:

1. Have a label that provides:
i. A brief title indicating the type of information being displayed;

ii. The owner's name;

iii. The street address of the property, if available; the block and lot number of the property's primary lot; and the county and municipality in which that lot is located;

iv. The date the map was prepared;

v. An arrow designating the north direction; and

vi. The source from which the map is derived (tax map, land survey, deed, aerial photography);

2. Include a legend that explains the meaning of each of the symbols appearing on the map and gives the scale of the map;

3. Be clear and legible, and at a scale appropriate to distinguish the relevant information;

4. Delineate the boundary of the property, taken from the most recent tax map of the taxing district in which the property is located or other such reliable source; and
