For the sake of analysis, let us assume that all the undesignated wetland sites would be designated for protection. If this were true it would reduce the buildable industrial land supply by 179.5 acres. This represents a 5% reduction in the overall su I of industrial land leavin pp Y ~ g 3,420,5 acres of inventoried industrial land unaffected by these refinement plan amendments.
