A73 Key: South Lanarkshire SNH Carbon and Peatland Data 2019 A70 Class 1 - Nationally important carbon-rich soils, deep peat and priority peatland habitat. Areas likely to be of high conservation value

existing 400kV Class 2 - Nationally important carbon-rich overhead line soils, deep peat and priority peatland habitat. Areas of potentially high conservation value and restoration potential Crawfordjohn Class 3 - Dominant vegetation cover is not Abington priority peatland habitat but is associated with wet and acidic type. Occaional peatland habitats can be found. Most soils are carbon- rich soils, with some areas of deep peat

Class 4 - Area unlikely to be associated with peatland habitats or wet and acidic type. South Lanarkshire Crawford M74 Area unlikely to include carbon-rich soils

B740 B797 Class 5 - Soil information takes precedence over vegetation data. No peatland habitat recorded. May also include areas of bare existing soil. Soils are carbon-rich and deep peat Elvanfoot substation Elvanfoot proposed NLEI wind farm B7040 ! substation Leadhills
