  8. Title: Anadromous Stream Restoration Projects (Points): Russian River, California, 1981-2002

    Contributors:

    Summary: This point shapefile contains the locations of completed projects (for which final reports have been received) funded through the California Department of Fish and Game's Fisheries Restoration Grants Program (FRGP). The shapefile was created by heads-up digitizing. Locations were taken from representations of stream habitat restoration projects marked on maps included in the paper documentation of the projects. Approximately 12% of projects sites (455/3850) could not be placed at specific locations.Line locations were originally digitized using two different methods. Instream locations were digitized by referencing them directly to the place along the stream in which the work was done. Locations that were not along streams were heads-up digitized. These two different shapefiles were merged into a single line shapefile for the purposes of this data release. See Supplimental Information for more details. This point dataset describes the geographic areas where restoration projects were completed through the California Department of Fish and Game's Fisheries Restoration Grants Program (FRGP), and is intended to be a comprehensive repository for anadromous stream restoration projects throughout California.

  10. Title: Waterbody Reach: Russian River Basin, California, 1999-2002

    Contributors:

    Summary: The polygon features were selected based on their spatial location within the extent of the Russian River basin and contains reach codes for networked features and isolated lakes, flow direction, names, stream level, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined to represent waterbodies. This dataset describes the lakes of the Russian River basin and is intended for hydrography analysis and planning. Circuit Rider Productions and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (2002). Waterbody Reach: Russian River Basin, California, 1999-2002. Circuit Rider Productions. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/mg798hj5833 The accuracy of the attributes of the Digital Line Graph data is estimated to be 98.5 percent. One or more of the following methods were used to test attribute accuracy: - manual comparison of the source with hardcopy plots. - symbolized display of the digital line graph on an interactive computer graphic system. - Selected attributes that could not be visually verified on plots or on screen were interactively queried and verified on screen. In addition, software validated feature types and characteristics against a master set of types and characteristics, checked that combinations of types and characteristics were valid, and that types and characteristics were valid for the delineation of the feature. Feature types, characteristics, and other attributes conform to the Standards for National Hydrography Dataset (USGS, 1999) as of the date they were loaded into the database. All names on reaches were validated against a March 1999 extract from the Geographic Names Information System. The entry and identifier for the names match those in the Geographic Names Information System. Features found on the ground may have been eliminated or generalized on the source graphic because of scale and legibility constraints. In general, streams longer than one mile (approximately 1.6 kilometers) were collected. Most streams that flow from a lake were collected regardless of their length. Only definite channels were collected so not all swamp/marsh features have stream/rivers delineated through them. Lake/ponds having an area greater than 6 acres (approximately 2.4 hectares) were collected. This layer is presented in the WGS84 coordinate system for web display purposes.

  11. Title: Flood Data: Russian River Basin, California, (Q3) 1996

    Contributors:

    Summary: This polygon shapefile represents the portion of the Federal Emergenecy Management Q3 Flood Data Management maps within the Russian River basin region of California. Flood Data are derived from the 1:24000 Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMS) published by FEMA. This layer can be used for watershed analysis and planning in the Russian River region of California. The FIRM is the basis for floodplain management, mitigation, and insurance activities for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Insurance applications include enforcement of the mandatory purchase requirement of the Flood Disaster Protection Act Specifications for the digitizing of FIRMs to create the Q3 Flood Data are consistent with those requirements for mapping at a scale of 1:24000. Horizontal control of Q3 Flood Data was established using USGS quadrangle maps at 1:24000 or other standard scales. Users should assess the horizontal positional sources and the requirements of their application. With increased frequency, large-scale spatial data sets are becoming widely available for computer-based geographic information systems. Q3 Flood Data may be used in combination with other digital spatial data, however, users should be aware that scalar enlargements do not enhance the relative accuracy of the Q3 Flood Data (i.e. 1:24000).

  12. Title: Juvenile Salmonid Abundance Monitoring: Green Valley Creek, Russian River, California, 1991-2001

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile represents the juvenile salmonid abundance monitoring that was conducted in Green Valley Creek (a tributary of the Russian River) to evaluate spawning success, fry or fingerling production, and juvenile survivorship as part of a larger study examining the potential effects of reclaimed water discharged to Santa Rosa Creek by the Santa Rosa Subregional Reclamation System. Provides temporal data on fish and other aquatic species abundance in multiple Russian River tributaries. Circuit Rider Productions and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (2002). Juvenile Salmonid Abundance Monitoring: Green Valley Creek, Russian River, California, 1991-2001. Circuit Rider Productions. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/nn779jf6103 Juvenile abundance monitoring was conducted within "index zones". Each stream was divided into upper, middle and lower reaches, based on elevation, average gradient, and distance from the Russian River, and an index zone was select from surveys within each reach. Index zones were established during the first study year and surveyed for habitat condition. Each index zone was broken down into habitat unit types (pool, riffle, glide), in which a unit is defined as a continuous portion of the stream of variable length, within which only one habitat type is present or is dominant. Juvenile abundance monitoring was conducted in selected units rather than the entire index zone. However, mapping is at the scale of index zone, with data for individual units included. Fish were sampled in selected units within each index zone by repeated passes through the unit with a beach seine. All fish and other species (invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles, mammals) captured were identified to species, and the salmonids (steelhead or coho) were measured (fork length). Monitoring was conducted at the beginning (July) and end (October-November) of the summer dry period to enable estimation of percent retention within the sampling area over this critical time period, as well as inferences regarding spawning success and juvenile growth rate. Mapping was conducted at the scale of index zone rather than habitat unit. Data for habitat zone is presented here without spatial data as supplemental information.

  13. Title: 10 Meter Contours: Russian River Basin, California

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile contains contours that were derived from a mosiac of 10 meter digital elevation models for the extent of the Russian River basin, located in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties, California. This layer can be used for watershed analysis and planning in the Russian River region of California. Circuit Rider Productions and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (2002) 10 Meter Contours: Russian River Basin, California. Circuit Rider Productions. The 7.5-minute digital elevation model (DEM) data are digital representations of cartographic information in a raster form. The DEMs consist of an array of elevations for ground positions at regularly spaced intervals. The data are produced in 7.5- by 7.5-minute blocks from either digitized cartographic map contour overlays of a scanned National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) photographs. The DEM data are stored as profiles with a 10- or 30-meter square grid spacing along and between each profile. Approximate file sizes are 9.9 megabytes for a 10-meter resolution and 1.1 megabytes for a 30-meter horizontal resolution. Data profiles for this product do not always have the same number of elevations because of the variable angle between true north and grid north in the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection coordinate system. The DEM data for 7.5-minute units correspond to the USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle map series for all of the United States and its territories except Alaska.

  15. Title: 1000 Meter Resolution Bathymetry Grid of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ): Russian River Basin, California, 1998

    Contributors:

    Summary: Eez1000 is a 1000 meter resolution statewide bathymetric dataset that generally covers the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), an area extending 200 nautical miles from all United States possessions and trust territories. The data was adapted from isobath values ranging from 200 meters to 4800 meters below sea level; therefore nearshore depictions ARE NOT ACCURATE and "flatten out" between 200 meter depths and the coastline. The data is intended only for general portrayals of offshore features and depths. The Department of Fish and Game (DFG), Technical Services Branch (TSB) GIS Unit received the source data in the form of a line contour coverage (known as DFG's eezbath) from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The contour data was converted to a TIN (triangulated irregular network) using ArcView 3D Analyst and then converted to a grid. The contour data was previously reprojected by TSB to Albers conic equal-area using standard Teale Data Center parameters. Some minor aesthetic editing was performed on peripheral areas using the ARC/INFO Grid EXPAND function. The image version was created using the ARC/INFO GRIDIMAGE function. Please see the attached metadata file "eezbatcall.doc" or the DFG coverage metadata "eezbath.txt" for further source data information.

  18. Title: Evolutionary Significant Unit Boundaries, Chinook Salmon: Russian River, California, 2002

    Contributors:

    Summary: This line shapefile of evolutionary significant unit boundaries was compiled from various sources based on written descriptions in National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) status reviews (available upon request) and mapping provided by NMFS. An Evolutionary significant unit, or ESU, of Pacific salmon is considered to be a "distinct population segment" and thus a "species" under the Endangered Species Act. Initial boundaries were derived from USGS 1:250,000 scale hydrologic unit boundaries. Drainage basin delineation from blockages was based on 1:100,000 stream hydrography and/or and available digital topography(1:250,000). Species do not necessarily inhabit all drainages or river reaches depicted. This dataset includes evolutionary significant unit (ESU) polygons depicting major basins within the current known range of each ESU, and were modified based on migration blockages and known fish distribution.
