- Description:
- Abstract:
- This data set contains vector lines and polygons
representing coastal hydrography used in the creation of the Environmental
Sensitivity Index (ESI) for North Carolina. The HYDRO data layer contains
all annotation used in producing the atlas. The annotation features are
categorized into three subclasses in order to simplify the mapping and
quality control procedures: GEOG for geographic features, SOC for
socioeconomic features, and HYDRO for water features. This data set
comprises a portion of the ESI data for North Carolina. ESI data
characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their
sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three
main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and
human-use resources.
- Purpose:
- The ESI data were collected, mapped, and digitized
to provide 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.

- Use_Constraints:
- DO NOT USE MAPS FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES. Besides the
above warning, there are no use constraints on these data. Note that the ESI
database should not be used to the exclusion of other pertinent data or
information held by state or federal agencies or other organizations.
Likewise, information contained in the database cannot be used in place of
consultations with environmental, natural resource, and cultural resource
agencies, or in place of field surveys. Recognize that the information
contained in the ESI database represents known concentration areas or
occurrences of natural, cultural, and human-use resources, but does not
necessarily represent the full distribution or range of each species or
resource. This is particularly important to recognize when considering
potential impacts to protected resources, such as endangered species,
wetlands, etc. Acknowledgment of the originators, publishers, contributors,
and sources listed would be appreciated in products derived from these data.

- Data_Quality_Information:
- Attribute_Accuracy:
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
- 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,
hardcopy 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, contact the sources listed in the Lineage section.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- 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 (such as dangles, unnecessary nodes, etc.), and SQL
SERVER(R) to ARC/INFO(R) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS
manager, where the data are written to CD/DVD and the metadata are
written. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to
a number of quality and consistency checks.
- Completeness_Report:
- These data represent linear and polygonal
hydrography for North Carolina.
- Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- The hydrography data set was developed from
pre-existing digital data and reflects the positional accuracy of
these original data. The horizontal positional accuracy of the
1:24,000 USGS topographic quads should conform to National Map
Accuracy Standards at scales of 1:24,000. See the Lineage and
Process_Description sections for more information on the original
source data and how these data were integrated or manipulated to
create the final data set.

- Process_Step:
- Process_Description:
- The shoreline was derived primarily from digital
coastline data originating from the 1996 atlas, Sensitivity of Coastal
Environments and Wildlife to Spilled Oil: North Carolina. These data
were supplemented with updated data from the North Carolina Department
of Environment and Natural Resources and the NOAA Coastal Services
Center. In some cases, gross shoreline changes were digitized using
Google Earth Pro and oblique overflight photography taken by Research
Planning, Inc. during the shoreline survey segment of this project.
The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled to create the
HYDRO data layer. Depending on the type of source data, four general
approaches are used for compiling the data layer: 1) hardcopy maps are
digitized at their source scale; 2) digital data layers are evaluated
and used "as is" or integrated with the other data sources; 3)
overflight classifications are digitized from the scanned and
registered hardcopy field maps; and/or 4) classifications are
interpreted from oblique GPS-referenced photography or video taken
during the overflights. After the initial shoreline classification,
these data are edgematched and checked for logical consistency errors.
Review maps are plotted at 1:24,000 scale for verification of
polygonal and linear attributes. See the Lineage section for
additional information on the type of source data for this data layer.
The compiled ESI, biology, and human-use data are plotted onto
hardcopy draft maps. Following the delivery of draft maps to the
participating resource experts, a second set of interviews are
conducted to review the maps. If necessary, edits to the HYDRO data
layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts,
and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created.

- In addition to the geographic data layers, the
relational attribute or data table, SOURCES, is used to store the source
data information in the ESI data structure. The geographic data layer
containing resource information (in this case, HYDRO) is linked to the
SOURCES table using the SOURCE_ID. See the Browse_Graphic section for a
link to the entity-relationship diagram, which describes the
relationships between attribute tables in the ESI data structure.
