This feature class resides within the BIOLOGY Feature Data Set of the Great Lakes - St. Clair / Detroit River System - 2019 ESI Geodatabase. It contains vector polygons representing HERP data for the St. Clair / Detroit River System in southeastern Michigan.
The study area includes a small portion of southern Lake Huron at its outlet, the St. Clair River (which flows out of Lake Huron), Lake St. Clair, the Detroit River (which flows into Lake Erie), a small portion of western Lake Erie, and adjacent lands and waters. This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for reptiles and amphibians. Vector polygons in this data set represent reptile and amphibian distributions.
Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described in Entity Attribute Overview below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for the Great Lakes - St. Clair / Detroit River 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 efforts, though the original intent should be kept in mind.
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.

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, check the sources listed in the Lineage section.
Completeness Report
These data represent a synthesis of sources of data, e.g., expert knowledge, available hardcopy documents, survey data, maps, and digital data on Herpetofaunal distributions in the Great Lakes - St. Clair / Detroit River System. These data do not represent all Herpetofaunal occurrences in the St. Clair - Detroit River region.
The following list of species includes those for two distinct areas of the Great Lakes: the Straits of Mackinac in northern Michigan, and the St. Clair / Detroit River System in southeastern Michigan. This is because these two study areas were initially combined into a single ArcGIS geodatabase, before being separated for publication. Some species may be mapped in both study areas, but there may be other species that are mapped in one study area and not the other.
The following species are included in this data set, though not all occurrences may be mapped (Species_ID, Common Name, Scientific Name [n/a if not applicable]): 32, Spotted turtle, Clemmys guttata; 149, Blanding's turtle, Emydoidea blandingii; 150, Wood turtle, Glyptemys insculpta; 170, Eastern box turtle, Terrapene carolina carolina; 266, Small-mouthed salamander, Ambystoma texanum; 267, Eastern foxsnake, Pantherophis vulpinus; 268, Queensnake, Regina septemvittata; 269, Eastern massasauga, Sistrurus catenatus; 271, Mudpuppy, Necturus maculosus; 272, Sensitive herpetofauna, n/a.
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 complete 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.
Sources and Process Steps cited below in this metadata record include those used for two distinct areas of the Great Lakes: the Straits of Mackinac in northern Michigan, and the St. Clair / Detroit River System in southeastern Michigan. This is because these two study areas were initially combined into a single ArcGIS geodatabase, before being separated for publication. Some sources and process steps were used in both study areas, others may pertain to one study area and not the other. As a final procedural step to prepare the geodatabases for publication, the spatial data data corresponding to each respective area were clipped in ArcGIS according to the two distinct geographic study areas.
Two main sources of data were used to depict herpetofaunal distribution and seasonality for the HERP data layer: 1) personal interviews with resource experts from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR), and Herpetological Research and Management and 2) numerous published and unpublished reports and datasets. Reptiles and amphibians depicted in this atlas include state (S) and federally (F) threatened (T), endangered (E), and state special concern (C) species. Mudpuppies (SC) and eastern foxsnake (ST) were mapped according to expert knowledge. Eastern massasauga (FT, SC) were mapped using species-specific screening data from USFWS. Additional herpetofauna species (turtles, snakes, salamanders) were mapped from survey and inferred-extent data provided by MNFI and DNR. Michigan HerpAtlas data were used to show general distributions of priority species. All T, E, and C species were selected from the HerpAtlas data, and all selected points were buffered by 3 miles and merged into non-overlapping polygons. Species names were generalized to “Sensitive herpetofauna”. More specific species information from the HerpAtlas can be obtained by contacting David Mifsud from Herpetological Research and Management.

The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the HERP 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 1:50,000 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 HERP data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.
