The official NMFS critical habitat (SalmonSockeye_SnakeRiverESU_19931228) for this sockeye salmon is comprised of both lake (polygon) data and river/stream (line) data; together the polygons and lines represent the entire final critical habitat designation.Critical habitat includes the water, waterway bottom, and adjacent riparian zone of specified river reaches. Adjacent riparian zones are defined as those areas within a horizontal distance of 300 feet (91.4 m) from the normal line of high water of a stream channel (600 feet or 182.8 m, when both sides of the stream channel are included) or from the shoreline of a standing body of water. 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.

SOSNR_CH.gdb -> SOSNR (feature dataset) -> SOSNR_line (feature class) Data were developed as part of an effort to interpret and depict several salmonid critical habitat designations completed in the 1990s that relied on text-based descriptions but lacked GIS data. Habitat areas for Snake River sockeye were identified based on the following: 1) The regulatory definition of ESA critical habitat for this species found at 50 CFR 226.205(a) and the supporting final rule (58 FR 68543, December 28, 1993); 2) The USGS high resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) - downloaded February 2018; 3) Intrinsic Potential (IP) GIS data developed by the NMFS Northwest Fisheries Science Center; 4) National Elevation Dataset and Digital Topographic Maps; 5) Fish Passage Barriers data from StreamNet www.StreamNet.org; 6) NMFS recovery planning documents for the Snake River basin; 7) The professional judgment of biologists from the NMFS Interior Columbia Basin Office; 8) Maps and documentation found in the references below.

Used NHD flowlines to identify perennial* inlet creeks (including their perennial tributaries and any braided reaches) from their confluence with the nursery lake upstream to the first endpoint using the following criteria: (a) the first 20% gradient barrier calculated from DEM data (Tile 08 Idaho, National Elevation Dataset (NED), with a Horizontal Grid Spacing of 1/3 arc second, approx. 10 meters); or (b) the first impassable falls (based on StreamNet barrier data); or (c) the first confluence (intermittent or perennial) upstream of a reach classified as High IP for spring/summer Chinook; or (d) the end of the NHD reach. * The only exception to this was if an intermittent inlet creek had supplemental information indicating sockeye presence (e.g., the south inlet of Pettit Lake). 2018-10-31T00:00:00 SOSNR_line feature class (GCS_North_American_1983 wkid 4269) geographic transformation not necessary, saved as SOSNR_ch.shp (GCS_North_American_1983 wkid 4269).

During standardization, geometry was not edited. Attributes were edited. Metadata was edited and populated using the final rule and metadata from the source SOSNR_CH.gdb -> SOSNR (feature dataset) -> SOSNR_line (feature class) (GCS_North_American_1983 wkid 4269).

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 line-based and 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. 2023-03-30T00:00:00 NMFS Office Of Protected Resources 301-713-2332 processor Source Contribution: National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) - NHDFlowline feature class National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) United States Geological Survey originator
