70483 Data Set Published / External 70474 Great Lakes - Lake Ontario ESI, 2023 Project Completed 2023-08 This feature class resides within the SOCECON Feature Data Set of the Lake Ontario 2023 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector points representing Navigational/Marine human-use resource data for the Lake Ontario System and adjacent lands and waters, specifically access locations, anchorages, boat ramps, lock and dam systems, and marinas for Lake Ontario. The study area includes the United States portion of Lake Ontario, covering the islands in New York: Association Island, Bass Island, Calf Island, Carl Island, Cherry Island, Eagle Island, Fox Island, Galloo Islands, Grenadier Island, Horse Island, Hoveys Island, Six Point Town, and Stony Island. Major Lake Ontario bays mapped include: Black River Bay, Blind Sodus Bay, Braddock Bay, Chaumont Bay, Guffin Bay, Irondequoit Bay, Henderson Bay, Little Sodus Bay, Mexico Bay, Port Bay, Sawyer Bay, and Sodus Bay. Object specific Type and Source information are stored in the related data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES (described below). These are stand-alone tables within the Geodatabase, designed to be used in conjunction with these spatial data layers. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for the Lake Ontario System. 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 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 purposes, though the original intent should be kept in mind. [THIS FIELD IS FOR INTERNAL NOTES AS NEEDED.

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. Map (digital) In addition to the geographic data layers and their associated attribute tables, two stand alone data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES, are used to store additional attribute information. The geographic data layers containing socioeconomic data resource information (in this case, NAV_MARINE_POINTS) are linked to the Socioeconomic Resources table (SOC_DAT) using HUNUM. HUNUM is a key numeric identifier, concatenated with the atlas number, making it unique across ESI atlas regions. The SOC_DAT and SOURCES data tables are described in detail in this document as Entities or "Child Items". 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. Environmental Sensitivity Index Guidelines, Version 4.0 (Petersen, J., et al. 2019) https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esi_guidelines 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. 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. 70501 Published / External Completed The NAV_MARINE_POINT table contains attribute information for the vector POINTS representing Navigational/marine areas, including access locations, anchorages, boat ramps, lock and dam systems, and marinas for Lake Ontario. The key field, HUNUM, links to the SOC_DAT table where attribute information for the vector POINTS in this data set are stored. A second field, TYPE, stores a 1-4 letter abbreviation of the mapped resource type. This field can be used to quickly identify feature types, and is used to symbolize the human use data layers. See the Entity_and_Attribute_Overview for a detailed description of how the primary attribute tables relate to the geographic data layers.

Useful for data collectors and users requiring more in depth information on the ESI process. The software packages used to develop the atlas are Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcGIS for Desktop(R), ArcPro(R), and SQL SERVER(R). The hardware configuration is PC's with Microsoft Windows Operating System. 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, check the sources listed in the Lineage section. These data represent a synthesis of digital data on human-use or management resources. These data do not necessarily represent all Navigational or marine points in Lake Ontario. For additional human-use information, see other feature class themes within the SOCECON Feature Data Set, including PARKS/MANAGED AREAS, POLITICAL/JURISDICTIONAL, SOCIOECONOMIC/OTHER, RESOURCE MANAGEMENT and/or NATURAL HAZARD. These data do not necessarily represent all socioeconomic features found in Lake Ontario. 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 a several consistency checks, and processed into the final delivery format.

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 1:42,000 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 NAV_MARINE_POINT data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2023-08-15T00:00:00 Position ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115 70501 Entity 70544 Entity 70545 Entity gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:70483 Katy Beckham 2023-08-15T14:48:41 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2026-07-09T18:26:06 2023-09-26 Office of Response and Restoration ORR 1002 Public No No 2021-11-18 1 Year 2022-11-18
