This data set contains sensitive biological resource data for federally and/or state endangered and threatened plants, rare state plants, and sensitive ecological communities in North Carolina. Vector polygons (HABITAT POLYS) and points (HABITAT POINTS) in this data set represent federally and/or state endangered and threatened plant, rare state plant, and sensitive ecological community occurrences. Species-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information are stored in associated data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for North Carolina. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. The ESI data are intended to provide baseline 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. The ESI data may be appropriate for many other coastal management efforts, though the original intent should be kept in mind. This project was supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R), Emergency Response Division (ERD), Seattle, Washington. completed ESI Program Manager 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115 orr.esi@noaa.gov pointOfContact ESI Program Manager 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle WA 98115 orr.esi@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded Data content is considered static once published.

Management boundaries are not to be considered legal boundaries. Edges may have been altered for cartographic processes. 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. Besides the above warnings, there are no use constraints on these data.

NOAA warrants the delivery of this product in computer-readable format. If problems are encountered in downloading the ESI data or with file corruption, contact NOAA (see Distributor). These data represent a snapshot in time and temporal changes may have occurred. The data are not intended to include all biological or human-use resources present in an area; they focus on species and resources particularly sensitive to oiling. In the event of a spill, they should be used for a first assessment only. The data providers are the experts with regard to individual resources. They should be contacted to confirm if more current data exist or if in-depth information is needed about a particular resource. unclassified NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA/NMFS/EDM 40428 https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inportserve/waf/noaa/nos/orr/dmp/pdf/40428.pdf WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link NOAA Data Management Plan (DMP) NOAA Data Management Plan for this record on InPort. information crossReference vector textTable eng; US biota environment The software package used to develop the atlas is Environmental Systems Research Institute's ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2(R).

The process includes a standardized data entry methodology, 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. Horizontal Positional Accuracy Spatial components for the biological data layers can come from expert interviews, hardcopy, or digital sources. Some of the spatial components of the biological data layers may have been developed using regional experts who estimate concentration areas. It is difficult to estimate the positional accuracy of such data, except to state that they are compiled on digital base maps with a scale of 1:24,000 or larger. Some of the spatial components of the biological data sets are developed from pre-existing digital or hardcopy sources and reflect the positional accuracy of these original data. Note that biological resource data by their very nature are considered "fuzzy", and this should be understood when considering the positional accuracy of vector digital objects representing these resources. 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.

Conceptual Consistency 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, and SQL SERVER(R) to ArcGIS(R) consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, before the final Geodatabase and metadata are created. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to several consistency checks, and processed into the final delivery format. Threatened, endangered, and rare plants and rare plant communities were mapped primarily with data from NCNHP and were given the mapping qualifier of "Vulnerable Occurrence". Critically imperiled, imperiled, and vulnerable wetland and upland plant community types were generalized as "Rare Upland Community" or "Rare Wetland Community". Wetland habitats with a high degree (greater than 60%) of overlap with the ESI wetland polygons were not included to reduce redundancy in the atlas. Plant and natural community records mapped with low or very low accuracy, as well as historical and obscure records, were also excluded. The only exception to this was that all seabeach amaranth and Virginia jointvetch (both species are state/federally threatened) were mapped regardless of location accuracy or historical status. These annual species have seedbanks and could become reestablished in historical areas under certain environmental conditions. The concentration field indicates whether the location is "Current" or "Historical". Plants with data sensitivities were masked as "Endangered Plant" and locations were buffered. Small, isolated plant polygons (less than 500 m2) were converted to points (HABITAT POINTS) so that they would be more visible in the atlas. All plant and natural community features were clipped to land except for aquatic plants blue waterhyssop and Carolina grasswort. Shoreline seapurslane, narrowleaf evening-primrose, and seabeach amaranth distributions that closely followed the shoreline were modified to correspond with the ESI shoreline. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. The ESI, biology, and human-use data are compiled into the standard ESI digital data format. A second set of interviews with participating resource experts are conducted to review the compiled data. If necessary, edits to the HABITAT POLYS and HABITAT POINTS data layers are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts and digital data are created. 2016-11-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Source Contribution: VECTOR DIGITAL DATA NATURAL HERITAGE ELEMENT OCCURRENCES 2016-04-08 publication NORTH CAROLINA NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM, DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY 2016
