<a id="pl.41.1"></a><var>41.1</var>(2) "bluff line" means a line delineating the top of a slope connecting the points <br/>
<a id="pl.41.2"></a><var>41.2</var>at which the slope becomes less than 18 percent. More than one bluff line may be <br/>

<a id="pl.41.4"></a><var>41.4</var>(3) "base of the bluff" means a line delineating the bottom of a slope connecting <br/>
<a id="pl.41.5"></a><var>41.5</var>the points at which the slope becomes 18 percent or greater. More than one bluff base <br/>

<a id="pl.41.7"></a><var>41.7</var>(4) "steep slopes" means 12 percent to 18 percent slopes. Steep slopes are natural <br/>
<a id="pl.41.8"></a><var>41.8</var>topographic features with an average slope of 12 to 18 percent measured over a horizontal <br/>
<a id="pl.41.9"></a><var>41.9</var>distance of 50 feet or more; and<br/>
<a id="pl.41.10"></a><var>41.10</var>(5) "very steep slopes" means slopes 18 percent or greater. Very steep slopes are <br/>
<a id="pl.41.11"></a><var>41.11</var>natural topographic features with an average slope of 18 percent or greater, measured over <br/>
<a id="pl.41.12"></a><var>41.12</var>a horizontal distance of 50 feet or more.<br/>
<a id="pl.41.13"></a><var>41.13</var>    Subd. 5. <b>Application.</b> The standards established under this section shall be used:<br/>

<a id="pl.46.17"></a><var>46.17</var>Metropolitan Council shall work with the Center for Changing Landscapes to ensure that <br/>
<a id="pl.46.18"></a><var>46.18</var>all the information currently available on their Web sites is incorporated into the newly <br/>
