Stress zones relating to coastal erosion and land movements (ZEMT)
The mapping of areas of constraint relating to coastal erosion as well as the mapping of areas of constraint relating to coastal erosion and land movements (ZEMT) locate the parts of territory where the standards relating to coastal erosion and land movements, prescribed by the Government of Quebec, must apply.
Coastal erosion constraint areas include only one type of zone, zone E. This type of zone extends inland from a georeferenced coastline. Essentially, this constraint zone corresponds to the plots of land that must be governed, due to the setback that the coast could suffer as a result of coastal erosion.
ZEMTs include protective bands where different interventions must be regulated. These constraint zones correspond to the land plots that must be governed, due to the retreat that the coast could suffer under the effect of coastal erosion and/or that could be carried away by a ground movement or reached by the debris of a ground movement generated by coastal erosion.
It should be noted that this mapping delimits the areas exposed only to coastal hazards and that the rest of the territory is not the subject of this mapping.
These areas are intended to be integrated into the land use and development plan of regional county municipalities (MRCs) for land use planning and land use control, in accordance with the requirements of the Land Use Planning Act (A 19.1, art. 5).
The Ministry of Internal Security (MSI), in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility, are the producers of the ZEMT mapping.
The ZEMT data set consists of three elements:
* ZENT;
* linear cartographic elements relating to ZEMTs;
* ZEMT mapping index.
## #AVERTISSEMENT
Since the production of ZEMT maps takes several years, their interpretation is sometimes based on images or data acquired several years ago. Therefore, discrepancies may exist between the ZEMT lines and the positioning of these lines on recent aerial images.
The areas were delineated according to the conditions existing during the mapping. Their level of precision depends on the level of the basic data and the scale used.
Despite the quality of the work carried out, the Ministry of Homeland Security cannot guarantee the absence of errors in the data.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
