66062 Data Set Published / External 66018 Endangered Species Act critical habitat Project 2018-10-31 Critical habitat includes the water, waterway bottom, and adjacent riparian zone of specified river reaches. Adjacent riparian zones are defined as those areas within a horizontal distance of 300 feet (91.4 m) from the normal line of high water of a stream channel (600 feet or 182.8 m, when both sides of the stream channel are included) or from the shoreline of a standing body of water. These data represent critical habitat designated (December 28, 1993, 58 FR 68543) under the Endangered Species Act for the Snake River sockeye salmon ESU. These river/stream (line) data should be used in conjunction with lake (polygon) data in the SalmonSockeye_SnakeRiverESU_19931228_poly feature class.

SOSNR_CH.gdb -> SOSNR (feature dataset) -> SOSNR_line (feature class) Data were developed as part of an effort to interpret and depict several salmonid critical habitat designations completed in the 1990s that relied on text-based descriptions but lacked GIS data. Habitat areas for Snake River sockeye were identified based on the following: 1) The regulatory definition of ESA critical habitat for this species found at 50 CFR 226.205(a) and the supporting final rule (58 FR 68543, December 28, 1993); 2) The USGS high resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) - downloaded February 2018; 3) Intrinsic Potential (IP) GIS data developed by the NMFS Northwest Fisheries Science Center; 4) National Elevation Dataset and Digital Topographic Maps; 5) Fish Passage Barriers data from StreamNet www.StreamNet.org; 6) NMFS recovery planning documents for the Snake River basin; 7) The professional judgment of biologists from the NMFS Interior Columbia Basin Office; 8) Maps and documentation found in the references below.

June 1994) Upstream extent notes. Used NHD flowlines to identify perennial* inlet creeks (including their perennial tributaries and any braided reaches) from their confluence with the nursery lake upstream to the first endpoint using the following criteria: (a) the first 20% gradient barrier calculated from DEM data (Tile 08 Idaho, National Elevation Dataset (NED), with a Horizontal Grid Spacing of 1/3 arc second, approx. 10 meters); or (b) the first impassable falls (based on StreamNet barrier data); or (c) the first confluence (intermittent or perennial) upstream of a reach classified as High IP for spring/summer Chinook; or (d) the end of the NHD reach. * The only exception to this was if an intermittent inlet creek had supplemental information indicating sockeye presence (e.g., the south inlet of Pettit Lake). 2018-10-31T00:00:00 2 SOSNR_line feature class (GCS_North_American_1983 wkid 4269) geographic transformation not necessary, saved as SOSNR_ch.shp (GCS_North_American_1983 wkid 4269).
