Status: | Completed |
Publication Date: | 2016 |
Abstract: |
This data set contains vector lines representing coastal hydrography features that are not captured in the HYDROP polygon data layer. The features found in the HYDROL data layer are breakwaters, docks, groins, jetties, and piers. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for Maine and New Hampshire. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the HYDROP (Hydrography Polygons), ESIL (ESI Shoreline Types - Lines), ESIP (ESI Shoreline Types - Polygons) data layer for additional shoreline/hydrography information. |
Purpose: |
The ESI data are intended to provide baseline environmental data for oil spill planning and response. The Clean Water Act with amendments by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires response plans for immediate and effective protection of sensitive resources. The ESI data may be appropriate for many other coastal management efforts, though the original intent should be kept in mind. |

Maintenance Note: |
Data content is considered static once published. However, if issues with the Geodatabase linkages or table contents are identified, the Geodatabase and/or the associated Map Document may be updated. Assure most current data is being used by downloading from https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esi_download and/or comparing modification dates provided at this site. |
Data Presentation Form: | Map (digital) |
Entity Attribute Overview: |
In addition to the geographic data layers, an associated data table, SOURCES, is used to store the source data information in the ESI data structure. The geographic data layer containing resource information (in this case, HYDROL) is linked to the SOURCES table using SOURCE_ID. See the Browse_Graphic section for a link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the way these tables relate to the geographic data layers and other attribute tables in the ESI data structure. |

Distribution Liability: |
Although these data have been processed and used successfully on a computer system at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), no warranty, expressed or implied, is made by NOAA regarding the utility of the data on any other system, nor shall the act of distribution constitute any such warranty. NOAA warrants the delivery of this product in computer-readable format. If problems are encountered in downloading the ESI data or with file corruption, contact NOAA (see Distributor). These data represent a snapshot in time and temporal changes may have occurred. The data are not intended to include all biological or human-use resources present in an area; they focus on species and resources particularly sensitive to oiling. In the event of a spill, they should be used for a first assessment only. The data providers are the experts with regard to individual resources. They should be contacted to confirm if more current data exist or if in-depth information is needed about a particular resource. |

Data Use Constraints: |
DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. Management boundaries are not to be considered legal boundaries. Edges may have been altered for cartographic processes. Note that the ESI database should not be used to the exclusion of other pertinent data or information held by state or federal agencies or other organizations. Likewise, information contained in the database cannot be used in place of consultations with environmental, natural resource, and cultural resource agencies, or in place of field surveys. Recognize that the information contained in the ESI database represents known concentration areas or occurrences of natural, cultural, and human-use resources, but does not necessarily represent the full distribution or range of each species or resource. This is particularly important to recognize when considering potential impacts to protected resources, such as endangered species, wetlands, etc. Besides the above warnings, there are no use constraints on these data. Acknowledgment of the originators, publishers, contributors, and sources listed would be appreciated in products derived from these data. |

Data Quality
Accuracy: |
A multi-stage error checking process is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. The process includes a standardized data entry methodology, data review by in-house and external resource experts, a final Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) process, and multiple automated logical consistency checks. Quantitative data (such as densities, counts, abundances, or concentrations) provided by resource experts for inclusion in the data set may vary widely in attribute accuracy, depending upon the methodology used to collect and compile such data. For a more detailed evaluation of source data attribute accuracy, contact the sources listed in the Lineage section. |
---|---|
Horizontal Positional Accuracy: |
The hydrography data set was developed from pre-existing digital data and reflects the positional accuracy of these original data. The horizontal positional accuracy of the 1:24,000 USGS topographic quads should conform to National Map Accuracy Standards at scales of 1:24,000. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original source data and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set. |
Completeness Report: |
These data represent linear hydrography for Maine and New Hampshire. See also the HYDROP (Hydrography Polygons), ESIL (ESI Shoreline Types - Lines), ESIP (ESI Shoreline Types - Polygons) data layer for additional shoreline/hydrography information. |
Conceptual Consistency: |
A multi-stage error checking process, described in the above Attribute Accuracy Report, is used to verify both attribute accuracy and logical consistency throughout data production. This process includes multiple automated logical consistency checks that test the files for missing or duplicate data, rules for proper coding, GIS topological consistencies, and SQL SERVER(R) to ArcGIS(R) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, before the final Geodatabase and metadata are created. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to several consistency checks, and processed into the final delivery format. |

Process Steps
Process Step 1
Description: |
The shoreline and classifications were fully updated using the sources and methods described below. The shoreline and intertidal habitats were delineated using a mapped sequence of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and high resolution digital orthophotography datasets. The LiDAR data was obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic LiDAR: LiDAR for the North East program (2011) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Topographic LiDAR: Cumberland and York Counties, Maine program (2006).The base shoreline was compiled at Mean Higher High Water (MHHW) first by LiDAR extraction, then refined within a Geographic Information System (GIS) utilizing high resolution digital orthophotos. After the shoreline was delineated, digital ortho-imagery from various sources was used to classify shoreline segments using the nationally, standardized ESI scale (see below). Imagery from the Maine Office of Geographic Information Systems (2014), USDA-FSA Aerial Photography Field Office (2014), and the Piscataqua Region Estuaries Partnership (2013), as well as various imagery sources for Google Earth and Bing Maps (2014) was used during the classification phase. Imagery was produced by Woolpert as part of the ESI data collection effort; however, schedules dictated that shoreline classification must occur prior to the completion of imagery collection and processing. Therefore, the new imagery was not used for the shoreline classification.Shoreline features of 10 meters (m) or greater in length were classified. In addition, wetland polygon datasets originally created by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory (NWI) were modified and updated to be used in conjunction with the ESI shoreline. The data was visually reviewed and classified against the aerial imagery and adjusted where necessary to allow for proper classification. All classifications were determined by the specifications outlined in the Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines version 3.0 (2002). Where necessary, multiple types were described for each shoreline segment. GIS quality control measures were implemented to ensure that all data met the required specifications. |
