| Abstract: |
This data set contains vector point data for: access sites, airports, archaeological sites, boat ramps, coast guard stations, ferries, heliports, historical sites, marinas, recreational fishing, and water intakes; and vector lines for roads and state boundaries in Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. 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. The entirety of the ESI Human-Use data layers consists of: SOCECON Lines, Points, and MGT Polygons. |
| 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. |

| Entity Attribute Overview: |
In addition to the geographic data layers, two associated data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES, are used to store the complex socioeconomic data in the ESI data structure. The geographic data layer(s) containing socioeconomic data resource information (in this case, SOCECON_LINES, and SOCECON_POINTS) is linked to the Socioeconomic Resources table (SOC_DAT) using HUNUM. HUNUM is a unique reference number concatenated with the atlas number (for Delaware Bay, the number is 212). SOC_DAT and the associated data tables are described in detail in this document. 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. |

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: |
Spatial components for the human-use data layers can come from expert interviews and digital sources. Most of the spatial components of the human-use data layers are developed from pre-existing digital sources and reflect the positional accuracy of these original data. Some of the spatial components of the human-use data layers are compiled on digital base maps with a scale of 1:24,000 or larger. 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 a synthesis of expert knowledge and available hardcopy reports and digital data for human-use or management features. It contains vector points depicting access sites, airports, archaeological sites, boat ramps, coast guard stations, ferries, heliports, historical sites, marinas, recreational fishing, and water intakes; and vector lines for roads and state boundaries These data do not necessarily represent all human-use sites in Delaware/New Jersey/Pennsylvania. 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. The entirety of the ESI Human-Use data layers consists of: SOCECON Points, Lines and MANAGEMENT Polygons. |
| 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 mapping extent was dependent upon information availability and location of mapped coastal habitats and shorelines. The main sources of data used to depict human-use resources for this data layer were digital data sets provided by the following agencies: Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC), New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) Division of Fish and Wildlife (F&W) Bureaus of Marine Fisheries and Shellfisheries (BMF & BSF), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA), United States Coast Guard (USCG), NJDEP, Natural and Historic Resources Historic Preservation Office (HPO), Delaware State Historic Preservation Office, and the National Park Service (NPS). |

| Email Address: | orr.esi@noaa.gov |
Process Step 2
| Description: |
Access Sites: Access site data was provided by NJDEP and indicates beach and river access locations. Airports/Heliports: Information on the locations of airports and heliports was downloaded from the National Transportation Atlas Databases maintained by the FAA. Archaeological/Historic sites: National Park Service (NPS) National Register of Historic Places data (2007) was used for all three states to depict historic sites. Delaware archaeological/historic sites: DE archaeological and historic site data was provided by the DE Division of Historical and Cultural Affairs. Four data sets were provided for inclusion in the ESI: DE National Historic Landmarks, DE State Historic Register Districts, DE National Register dataset, and DE National Historic Properties. All archaeological site points from the pre-processed data sets were buffered and offset prior to plotting in the ESI to protect the sensitivity of the resources. New Jersey Archaeological/Historic sites: NJ archaeological and historic site data was provided by NJDEP Natural and Historic Resources Historic Preservation Office (HPO). NJ HPO provided a nj_stgrd layer, which included one added attribute from the version available at DEP's downloads page. The site_status field in the data set as provided, which is the NAME field in the ESI, indicates National Register eligibility status of the site(s) within the grid determining whether sites are one of three statuses: listed, eligible, or identified. 'Listed' sites are included in the NJ or National Registers of historic places; 'eligible' sites have been determined eligible for inclusion through federal or state processes as administered by the HPO; 'identified' sites have been identified through cultural resource survey or other documentation on file at the HPO. The centroid point of each grid cell was used for data display purposes in the ESI. Please note: This atlas was developed using NJDEP GIS digital data for archaeological and historic sites, but this secondary product has not been verified by NJDEP and is not state-authorized. Boat Ramps: Boat ramp location data was provided by NJDEP, PFBC, DNREC and NJ SeaGrant Consortium. Coast Guard: USCG locations are located in all 3 states. Location data was provided by the USCG. Ferries: Three ferries occur in the Area of Interest (AOI): Cape May - Lewes Ferry (between NJ and DE), Fort Mott - Fort Delaware Ferry (between NJ and DE), and the Riverlink Ferry (between NJ and PA). Ferry data was provided by the Delaware River and Bay Authority. Marinas: Marina location data was provided by PFBC, DNREC, and NJ SeaGrant Consortium. Recreational Fishing: Recreational fishing locations were provided by NJDEP DFW Bureau of Marine Fisheries and DNREC. Water Intake: Locations of drinking water intakes were provided by the DNREC. |

Process Step 3
| Description: |
The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the SOCECON data layer. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:45,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; 3) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the SOCECON data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. |
