The final rule for this designation can be found in the Federal Register at 74 FR 29300 (June 19, 2009).Critical habitat for Atlantic salmon (Gulf of Maine DPS) includes the stream channels within the designated stream reaches, and includes a lateral extent as defined by the ordinary high-water line (33 CFR 329.11). In areas where the ordinary high-water line has not been defined, the lateral extent will be defined by the bankfull elevation. Bankfull elevation is the level at which water begins to leave the channel and move into the floodplain and is reached at a discharge which generally has a recurrence interval of 1 to 2 years on an annual flood series. Critical habitat in estuaries is defined by the perimeter of the water body as displayed on standard 1:24,000 scale topographic maps or the elevation of extreme high water, whichever is greater.Watershed boundaries provide a standard level of detail that is an acceptable unit to describe salmon habitat, and the watershed level 5 (HUC 10s) are nationally recognized by the USGS to spatially relate any dataset that contains these codes. This spatial data file was modified from NMFS’s “agency-official” species critical habitat data to aid in the ESA/FIFRA section 7 pesticide consultation process. For example, existing data were adapted to incorporate associated watersheds where applicable, based on the USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset HUC-12 data (https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography/watershed-boundary-dataset). The modifications to the NMFS critical habitat spatial data make the data more compatible for future analyses with EPA’s Use Data Layers (UDLs). The following “Description” is from the original, “agency-official” data that was used to make this HUC-based map. Most of the metadata record for this species matches the “agency-official” record; however, NMFS added a new "Citation", "File Identifier", “Credits”, “Point of Contact”, and “Lineage Process Step” that are unique to this HUC-based critical habitat data.

The source data for WBDME6_A was developed by delineating boundary lines on a USGS base of 1:24000 scale topographic quadrangles prior to digitization. Digital Raster Graphic (DRGs) images of the 1:24000 quadrangles are used to edit the data set. SUBWATERSHED polygons were delineated on mylar and attributed with hydrologic unit area (HUA) code and alphanumeric name. Source polygons were digitally attributed in ArcEdit by NRCS and "dissolved" on the HUC_12 attribute to produce the current Level 6 (12-digit) SUBWATERSHED vector coverage. 1998-06-01T00:00:00 As described above, this species’ HUC-based critical habitat dataset was modified from the polygon-based species “agency-official” NMFS critical habitat data. This HUC-based critical habitat file represents the HUC-12 watersheds (USGS Watershed Boundary Dataset; https://www.usgs.gov/national-hydrography/watershed-boundary-dataset) that intersect with the “agency-official” critical habitat polygon-based data. The data were reviewed and revised to add any additional HUC-12 watersheds that were determined to have hydrologic connectivity to the critical habitat. 2023-12-15T00:00:00 NMFS Office Of Protected Resources 301-713-2332 processor Source Contribution: (24k) USGS 1:24,000 scale quadrangles (24k) USGS 1:24,000 scale quadrangles U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) originator Source Contribution: (DRG) Digital Raster Graphics (DRG) Digital Raster Graphics U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) originator Source Contribution: Statewide ArcInfo coverage of very small watershed polygons. medrdvd Maine Office of Geographic Information Systems (MEGIS) originator Source Contribution: Statewide digital hydrologic unit boundary layer of Level 6 (12-digit) SUBWATERSHEDs. wbdme6_a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) originator
