    Contributors:

    Summary: The ODS maintains a database that includes detailed information about each dam for operational purposes. Most of the location information was derived from historic data and has been ground-truthed against inspection and ownership reports that are maintained by the ODS. The locations of some dams have not been confirmed. These are pending verification and can be identified through the field 'LocStatus.’Dams regulated by the ODS in accordance with regulation CMR 302 10.00 are listed as ‘Office of Dam Safety’ in the field ‘RegAuth’.Please report any data errors or inconsistencies to the Office of Dam Safety (dam.safety@state.ma.us) or DCR-GIS (chandreyee.lahiri@state.ma.us)

  18. Title: California Coastal Trail, San Mateo County Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment Project, 2012

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile represents sections of the California Coastal Trail in the San Mateo County Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment Project area. Data from the National Park Service (Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Point Reyes National Seashore), the California Department of Parks and Recreation (Coastal State Park Units), the California Coastal Commission (SB908), and Coastwalk (2008 alignment) were used to create this dataset. Starting with the SB908 and Coastwalk 2008 the alignment of the trail was reviewed by staff at the Conservancy for accuracy and to make sure that newly completed projects were included. Once the route was reviewed data was used from NPS, CDPR, and 1m images to digitize the new alignment. Where the CCT was already established by NPS or CDPR their alignment for the route was followed. This alignment of the CCT was created to update the SB908 (2002) alignment and the Coastwalk (2008) alignments to include new sections of the CCT. The new data is also intended to be significantly more accurate.Goal 1: Update the alignment (2012)Goal 2: Make the data usable at larger scales in web mapping applications.Goal 3: Only display the existing route available to the public.

  19. Title: Commercial Waterway Network, Great Lakes Region 2019

    Contributors:

    Summary: The National Waterway Network is comprised of a link database and a node database. Links are line strings, which consist of beginning and end points (nodes) with intermediate vertices (shape points). Links represent either actual shipping lanes (i.e., channels, Intracoastal Waterways, sealanes, rivers) or serve as representative paths in open water (where no defined shipping paths exist). Nodes may represent physical entities such as river confluence's, ports/facilities, and intermodal terminals, USACE nodes, or may be inserted for analytical purposes (i.e., to facilitate routing). The NWN databases were developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Vanderbilt University, with input from the National Waterway GIS Design Committee (NWGISDC). The NWGISDC contains members from several agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), USDOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (VNTSC), Maritime Administration (MARAD), Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC), Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), U.S. Bureau of Census, U.S. Coast Guard, and the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). Several data sources were used to create the network. Therefore, network links vary in scale. The majority of the inland links are at 1:100,000 scale(derived from 1:100,000 scale Digital Line Graph files). Off-shore links were derived from variable scale NOAA Navigational Charts. Therefore, the off-shore links vary in scale, with larger scale NOAA charts used in harbor/bay/port areas, and smaller scale NOAA charts used in open waters. All links in the USACE (non geo-coded) Waterway Link Network are represented in the NWN. The USACE network was used as a base for the NWN; 'USACE links' form a contiguous subset within the NWN, and can be extracted through queries on the 'link number' (linknum) field in the link database (where linknum<1000000). Additional (non- USACE) links and nodes were added to the USACE network to more realistically represent shipping patterns. Approximately 200 USACE ports are geo-coded in the node database, including the top 150 ports. ORNL initially developed databases for the inland waterways; Vanderbilt constructed databases for the off-shore waterways. ORNL then merged the inland and off-shore databases to form a continuous national network. Vanderbilt revised the inland waterway network through use of USGS Digital Line Graph (DLG) files. Vanderbilt, ORNL, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Waterborne Commerce Statistics Center (WCSC) are continuously enhancing and performing validation tasks to improve the accuracy of the NWN.

  20. Title: Fish Spawning Locations, Great Lakes Region 2019

    Contributors:

    Summary: The atlas contains information on all of the commercially and recreationally important species that use the tributaries, littoral and open-water areas of the Great Lakes as spawning and nursery habitats. Close to 9500 geo-referenced data records (occurrences of fish species) were imported into ArcView GIS. The 139 fish taxa reported in the Atlas had to be grouped into fewer broad categories to produce meaningful distribution maps. We chose three functional classification schemes. Jude and Pappas (1992) used Correspondence Analysis to partition fish species associated with the open water of each of the five Great Lakes and nine coastal wetlands. Three species complexes were suggested: a Great Lakes taxocene; a transitional taxocene, which utilized open water, near-shore, and wetlands; and a wetland taxocene. We chose this as one of the classification schemes because we are particularly interested in identifying the distribution pattern of fish with coastal wetlands; for clarity sake, we have renamed these taxocenes coastal, intermediate and open-water, respectively. For comparison, we also used Coker et al.??s (2001) classification based on temperature preferenda (5 classes) and Balon??s (1975) reproductive guild classification (32 guilds).
