- Description:
-
- Abstract:
- This data set comprises the Environmental Sensitivity
Index (ESI) data for Prince William Sound, Alaska. ESI data
characterize estuarine 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. This data set
contains human-use resource data.
- 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.

- Native_Data_Set_Environment:
- The software packages used to develop the atlas are
Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO(r) (version
8.0.2) and ORACLE(r) RDBMS (version 8.0.5.0.0). The hardware
configuration is Hewlett Packard workstations (models 715/50
and 712/80i with 4 X-terminals) with UNIX operating system
(HP-UX Release A.10.20). The following files are included in
the data set: bio_lut.e00, biofile.e00, biores.e00, birds.e00,
breed.e00, breed_dt.e00, esi.e00, fish.e00, fishl.e00,
hydro.e00, index.e00, invert.e00, m_mammal.e00, m_mampt.e00,
nests.e00, seasonal.e00, soc_dat.e00, soc_lut.e00, socecon.e00,
sources.e00, species.e00, status.e00.
- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy:
-
- Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
- The attribute accuracy is estimated to be "good" given
the years of ESI experience, the data-input methodology, the
quality control review sessions, and the digital logical
consistency checks.
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
- The human-use resources were obtained in either digital
format or in hardcopy format on 1:63,360 and 1:250,000 scale
maps. Under this project, new digital data sources were
imported, projected, checked for quality control, and
integrated into the spatial data structure (for selected
resources). The data were checked using both digital and
on-screen procedures. To finalize the data checking process,
each coverage is checked using a standardized form by two GIS
personnel (a technician and the GIS manager), and each
attribute database is checked using several programs that test
the files for missing or duplicate data, rules for proper
coding, GIS topological consistencies (such as dangles,
unnecessary nodes, etc.), and ORACLE(r) to ARC/INFO(r)
consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, where
the data are written to tape and the metadata are written. ESI
data are processed into multiple formats to make them useful to
a wider community of GIS/mapping users. Distribution formats
include ARC export, MOSS and Shape files, and MARPLOT map
folders. An ArcView ESI project and ESI_Viewer product are also
included on the CDs for ease of use of the ESI data. The
database files are distributed both in the NOAA standard
relational database format (see NOAA Technical Memorandum NOS
ORCA 115) and in a simplified desktop flat file format. This
metadata document includes information on both of these
database formats. The section
Spatial_Data_Organization_Information refers to the source
files in ARC export format only.
- Completeness_Report:
- Several human-use, or socioeconomic, features are included
in ESI atlases. Entity points are digitized into the data layer
SOCECON. The data set is linked to the data table SOC_DAT using
the SOC_LUT lookup table and the items HUNUM and ID. HUNUM is a
unique reference number concatenated with the atlas number (for
Prince William Sound this is 59). ID is a concatenation of
atlas number (59), element number (SOCECON = 10), and a unique
record number. The TYPE item for entity points may contain the
following values: Airport, A; Aquaculture, AQ; Hatchery, S (for
this atlas only); Marine/Anchorage, M. The table SOC_DAT
contains the human-use number (HUNUM), feature type (TYPE),
name of the facility (NAME), owner/manager or contact person
(CONTACT), telephone number (PHONE), geographic source
(G_SOURCE), and attribute source (A_SOURCE). Detailed contact
information is only included for select management features,
where available. Source information is included for all
features.
- Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
-
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- The ESI data use USGS 1:63,360 topographic
quadrangles as the basemap. It is estimated that the ESI
shoreline classification has a minimum mapping unit of
100 feet.

- Process_Description:
- All the digital data were checked using both digital
and on-screen procedures, plotted, checked by the
biological expert, edited to remove any errors, and
plotted for review by the regional specialists. The
reviewed maps were updated on the computer, checked once
again, and plotted at final map scale. A team of
specialists reviewed the entire series of maps, checked
all data, and made final edits. The data were merged to
form the study-wide layers that are described in the
document. The data merging included a final quality
control check where topological consistency, rules for
geography, and database to geography were checked and
validated for all relationships.

- Attribute_Definition:
- The human-use features depicted on the maps are those
that could be impacted by an oil spill or could provide
access for response operations. TYPE identifies a point
with a socioeconomic, or human-use, feature. This
attribute allows direct access to the type of feature
instead of linking to the more detailed SOC_DAT table.
