Prepared by Research Planning, Inc., Columbia, South Carolina for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration, Emergency Response Division, Seattle, Washington.
This data set contains vector points representing airports, archaeological sites, beaches, facilities, heliports and platforms found in in coastal Louisiana and the lower Mississippi river. Location specific type and source information are stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. ESI data characterize the marine and coastal 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.
This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Louisiana and the lower Mississippi River. The entirety of the ESI Human-Use data layers consists of: PARKS-MANAGED AREAS Polygons; POLITICAL-JURISDICTIONAL Points; RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points; SOCECON Points.
The ESI 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.
This project was supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), Emergency Response Division (ERD), Seattle, Washington; and The Department of Homeland Security, United States Coast Guard Office of Incident Management and Preparedness, Washington, D.C.

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 digital data for airports, archaeological sites, beaches, facilities, heliports and platforms found in in coastal Louisiana and the lower Mississippi river. Polygon data should not be interpreted as "legal boundaries" and this content doesn't necessarily represent all features of the aforementioned types within the boundaries of the Louisiana-Lower Mississippi river ESI data.
This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for Louisiana and the lower Mississippi River. The entirety of the ESI Human-Use data layers consists of: PARKS-MANAGED AREAS Polygons; POLITICAL-JURISDICTIONAL Points; RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points; SOCECON Points.
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.
The following refers to the entirety of the ESI SOCECON data layers consisting of: PARKS-MANAGED AREAS Polygons; POLITICAL-JURISDICTIONAL Points; RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Polygons, Points; SOCECON Points.
Sources of data include digital datasets provided by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LDOTD), Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinator's Office (LOSCO), Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism (LCRT), and the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (LDHH). Airport / Heliport - Information on the locations of airports and heliports was downloaded from the National Transportation Atlas Databases maintained by the FAA. Archaeological Site - Presence of archaeological sites within a 30-second grid cell were provided by LCRT. Point locations depicted in the database mark the center of a grid cell containing an archaeological site, and may or may not coincide with the actual location of the site. Boat Ramps and Marinas - Locations of boat ramps and marinas were provided by LOSCO. Marinas were defined as any facility with fuel or a store. All other points were mapped as boat ramps. Additional boat ramps were digitized based on USACE navigation maps of the Mississippi River. Ports and commercial docks were mapped as facilities in the database. Shallow and deep draft port locations were obtained from LDOTD and locations of waterfront commercial and industrial facilities with docks were downloaded from the National Transportation Atlas Database. Ferry - Locations of ferry crossings were provided by LDOTD. Ferry landings are shown as points. The actual routes are not depicted. Lock and Dam - Locations of locks and dams were downloaded from the National Transportation Atlas Database. These data were compiled by the USACE. Water Intake - Locations of drinking water intakes were provided by the LDHH. Additional locations were digitized from the USACE 2007 navigation atlas. For locations digitized based on USACE 2007 atlas, Google Earth was used to guide the digitization. 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 1:24,000 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.
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 layers are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.
