- Description:
- Abstract:
- This data set contains data for Area Contingency
Plan (ACP) sensitive sites in Southern California. Vector points in this
data set represent sites identified as sensitive for biological and/or
human-use resources that should be prioritized for protection during spill
response activities. This data set comprises a portion of the ESI data for
Southern California. 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.

- Native_Data_Set_Environment:
- The software packages used to develop the atlas are
Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO(R) (version 9.3) and SQL
SERVER(R) (version 2000). The hardware configuration is PC's with Windows
Operating System (2000/XP/2003). The Spatial_Data_Organization Information
section refers only to the source files in the ARC export format. The
following files are included in the data set: acp.e00, birds.e00, esi.e00,
fish.e00, fishl.e00, habitats.e00, hydro.e00, index.e00, invert.e00,
m_mammal.e00, mgt.e00, nests.e00, reptiles.e00, socecon.e00, and
t_mammal.e00. Associated relational and desktop data tables provided in Arc
export and text format are bio_lut.e00, biofile.e00, biores.e00, breed.e00,
breed_dt.e00, seasonal.e00, soc_dat.e00, soc_lut.e00, sources.e00,

- 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 the Los Angeles / Long Beach
and San Diego Oil Spill Contingency Plans.
- Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
- Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
- The ACP data set was developed from pre-existing
digital data and reflects the positional accuracy of these original
data. 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.

- Although these data have been processed successfully
on a computer system at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made by NOAA
regarding the utility of the data on any other system, nor shall the act
of distribution constitute any such warranty. NOAA warrants the delivery

- Custom_Order_Process:
- Contact NOAA for distribution options (see
Distributor). ESI data are processed into multiple formats to make them
useful to the widest community of GIS/mapping users. Distribution formats
include Geodatabase; ARC export, MOSS, and Shape files; and MARPLOT map
folders. An ArcMap .mxd file, an ArcView 3.x ESI project, and an
ESI_Viewer product for use with the MARPLOT data are also included on the
distribution CDs/DVDs 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.
