40526 P_Rico_mgt Data Set Published / External 46683 Puerto Rico, 2000 Project Completed 2001-06 This data set comprises the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) and Reach Sensitivity Index (RSI) data for Puerto Rico. ESI data characterize estuarine environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. Most rivers and streams can be readily subdivided into clear-cut segments, or reaches (RSI), that have very distinct and uniform characteristics within that reach of the stream. The definition of reach type is usually based on whatever the intended use of the reach classification might be. In this project, stream reaches are defined as those segments where similar spill-response modes and potential ecological and/or socioeconomic impacts from the spill are to be anticipated. However defined, the boundary of the reach is usually marked by an abrupt change in the morphology of the stream, a change commonly, but not always, brought about by an alteration in the stream's gradient. This data set contains polygonal data for human-use resources. The ESI and RSI data were collected, mapped, and digitized to provide 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. 2072 Prepared by Research Planning, Inc., Columbia, South Carolina for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration, Hazardous Materials Response Division, Seattle, Washington, United States Environmental Protection Agency, United States Coast Guard, Puerto Rico Departamento de Recursos Naturales y Ambientales, and United States Department of the Interior.

Archaeological/Historical Site: Location of archaeological and historic sites for coastal and inland areas. These resources include known archaeological sites documented in the master site file for Puerto Rico, and most National Register listed and potentially eligible historic sites. The exact location and extent of these sites are not represented on the maps due to their sensitivity to disturbance and vandalism. Instead, sites are depicted on the maps with an icon placed in the general vicinity of the site (or group of sites). This information was provided by the Puerto Rico State Historic Preservation Office. For more specific site information and guidance during planning and response operations, please contact the State Historic Preservation Officer at 787/721-3737. NOTE: For these data, the Archaeological/Historical sites have been deleted from the digital data at the request of the data providers. Designated Critical Habitat: Areas managed or regulated by the USFWS (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service) or NMFS (National Marine Fishery Service) as critical habitat for federally listed threatened and endangered species, under authority of the U.S. Endangered Species Act, as amended. The species involved, responsible agency, and contact information are provided on the data tables for each map. Forest: Areas managed by the DRNA (Departamento de Recursos Naturales y Ambientales) Division de Manejo Bosques Estatales as Commonwealth Forests, or the USFS (U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service) as National Forests. Forest names, the managing authority, and contact information are provided on the data tables for each map. National Estuarine Research Reserve: Areas jointly managed by NOAA and DRNA as National Estuarine Research Reserves. Site names and contact information are provided on the data tables for each map. National Park: Areas managed by the National Park Service, including national parks, national historic sites, national monuments, etc. Site names and contact information are provided on the data tables for each map. Wildlife Refuge/Natural Reserve: Areas managed by the USFWS as National Wildlife Refuges or the DRNA Division de Reservas Naturales y Refugios de Vida Silvestre as Natural Reserves and Wildlife Refuges.

The software packages used to develop the atlas are Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO(r) (version 8.0.2) and ORACLE(r) RDBMS (version 8.0.5.0.0). The hardware configuration is Hewlett Packard workstations (models 715/50 and 712/80i with 4 X-terminals) with UNIX operating system (HP-UX Release A.10.20). The following files are included in the data set: benthic.e00, birds.e00, bio_lut.e00, biofile.e00, biores.e00, breed.e00, breed_dt.e00, esi.e00, fish.e00, fishl.e00, habitats.e00, hydro.e00, index.e00, invert.e00, invertl.e00, karst.e00, mgt.e00, m_mammal.e00, reptiles.e00, seasonal.e00, shelfbnd.e00, soc_dat.e00, soc_lut.e00, socecon.e00, sources.e00, species.e00, stations.e00, status.e00, t_mammal.e00, wetlands.e00. The attribute accuracy is estimated to be "good" given the years of ESI experience, the data input methodology, the quality control review sessions, and the digital logical consistency checks. The majority of management area data came from existing digital sources. See the Lineage section (below) for specific information on each source. For the few management areas not covered by existing sources, hard copy boundary information was transferred to USGS 1:20,000 and 1:30,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized. Human-Use Resources: Several human-use, or socioeconomic, features are included in ESI/RSI atlases. Entity points and complete chains (arcs) are digitized into the data layer SOCECON and managed area polygonal data (GT-polygons) are stored in the MGT data layer. Both data sets are linked to the data table SOC_DAT using the SOC_LUT lookup table and the items HUNUM and ID. HUNUM is a unique reference number concatenated with the atlas number (for Puerto Rico this is 66). ID is a unique combination of the atlas number (66), an element specific number (MGT = 11) and a unique record number. The TYPE item for polygons may contain the following values: Designated Critical Habitat, CH; Forest, FO; National Park, NP; Marine Sanctuary, MS; Wildlife Refuge, WR. The table SOC_DAT contains the human-use number (HUNUM), feature type (TYPE), name of the facility (NAME), owner/manager or contact person (CONTACT), telephone number (PHONE), geographic source (G_SOURCE), and attribute source (A_SOURCE). Detailed contact information is only included for select management features, where available. Source information is included for all features. The human-use resources were obtained in either digital format or in hardcopy format on 1:20,000 and 1:30,000 scale topographic quadrangles. Under this project, new digital data sources are imported, projected, checked for quality control, and integrated into the spatial data structure (for selected resources). The data are checked using both digital and on-screen procedures. To finalize the data checking process, each data layer is checked using a standardized form by two GIS personnel (a technician and the GIS manager), and each attribute database is checked using several programs that test the files for missing or duplicate data, rules for proper coding, GIS topological consistencies (such as dangles, unnecessary nodes, etc.), and ORACLE(r) to ARC/INFO(r) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, where the data are written to CD-ROM and the metadata are written. ESI data are processed into multiple formats to make them useful to a wider community of GIS/mapping users. Distribution formats include ARC export, MOSS and Shape files, and MARPLOT map folders. An ArcView ESI project and ESI_Viewer product are also included on the CDs for ease of use of the ESI data. The database files are distributed both in the NOAA standard relational database format (see NOAA Technical Memorandum NOS ORCA 115) and in a simplified desktop flat file format. This metadata document includes information on both of these database formats. The section Spatial_Data_Organization_Information refers to the source files in ARC export format only.

The reviewed maps were updated on the computer, checked once again, and plotted at final map scale. A team of specialists reviewed the entire series of maps, checked all data, and made final edits. The data were merged to form the study-wide layers that are described in the document. The data merging included a final quality control check where topological consistency, rules for geography, and database to geography were checked and validated for all relationships. 2001-06-01T00:00:00 44701 Entity gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:40526 Tyler Christensen 2017-04-05T14:52:17 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2026-07-09T18:26:03 2018-02-08 Office of Response and Restoration ORR 1002 Public No No 2018-02-08 1 Year 2019-02-08
