This data set was prepared by Concurrent Technologies Corporation, Bremerton, Washington, and Sound GIS, Seattle, Washington with support from Research Planning, Inc., Columbia, South Carolina, for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration, Hazardous Materials Response Division, Seattle, Washington. This data set contains points that represent the following sensitive human-use socioeconomic sites in Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington: access locations, airports, aquaculture sites, archaeological sites, artificial reefs, beaches, boat ramps, U.S. Coast Guard stations, dive sites, spill response equipment storage sites, ferry terminals, hatcheries, hazardous waste sites, locks and dams, marinas, and parks. Also included are lines that represent the international boundary, bridges, and ferry routes. Location-specific type and source information is stored in relational data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer.This data set comprises a portion of the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington. 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. See also the MGT (Management Area Polygons) data layer, part of the larger Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca ESI database, for additional human-use information. 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. This project was funded by Navy Region Northwest and was supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service, Office of Response and Restoration, Hazardous Materials Response Division, 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 notPlanned Environmental Monitoring theme NOS Topic Category Coastal Zone Management Coastal resources ESI Human use resources Oil spill planning Sensitivity maps Socioeconomic resources Wildlife theme Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington place DOC/NOAA/NOS/ORR > Office of Response and Restoration, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

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. Horizontal Positional Accuracy Spatial components for the human-use data layers can come from expert interviews, hardcopy, or digital sources. Most of the spatial components of the human-use data layers are developed from pre-existing digital or hardcopy sources and reflect the positional accuracy of these original data. Some of the spatial components of the human-use data layers are compiled on hardcopy base maps with a scale of 1:24,000. See the Lineage and Process_Description sections for more information on the original data source and how these data were integrated or manipulated to create the final data set. Completeness Report These data represent a synthesis of expert knowledge and available hardcopy reports and digital data on socioeconomic resources. These data do not necessarily represent all human-use sites in Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington. See also the MGT (Management Area Polygons) data layer, part of the larger Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca ESI database, for additional human-use information. 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 (such as dangles, unnecessary node, 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-ROM and the metadata are written. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to a number of quality and consistency checks. ACCESS LOCATIONS: Three sources of data were used to depict locations where the shoreline can be accessed by foot or by vehicle: (1) Washington State Department of Ecology BEACH database (Ecology), (2) Lummi Indian Business Council, and (3) a local resource manager. From Ecology's BEACH database, we extracted points depicting access locations. Approximately 79% of these points were repositioned to ensure that the locations more closely matched their actual position on land. The positions used in this database were identified using the HYDRO layer and 1-meter black-and-white digital orthophotographs. Not all access points identified in the BEACH database were included. Access points provided by the Lummi Indian Business Council were repositioned to fall within the land portion of the HYDRO layer. Four additional access points were provided by a local resource expert. These points were collected on, and digitized off of, hardcopy base maps with a scale of 1:24,000. AIRPORTS: Digital points representing non-military airports were provided by Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). AQUACULTURE SITES: Digital points representing aquaculture sites (net pens) were acquired from the StreamNet website. ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES: Local resource managers provided locations of archaeological sites on hardcopy 1:24,000 scale base maps. These data were digitized off of the hardcopy maps to produce point features. ARTIFICIAL REEFS: Geographic coordinates for artificial reefs were provided by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife via personal communication. The latitude and longitude coordinates were used to generate digital point features. BEACHES: Three sources of data were used to depict locations of recreational beaches: (1) Washington State Department of Ecology BEACH database (Ecology), (2) Lummi Indian Business Council, (3) local resource experts. Approximately 88% of points included from Ecology's BEACH database were repositioned to ensure that each location more closely matched its actual position on land. The positions used in this database were identified using the HYDRO layer and 1-meter black-and-white digital orthophotographs. Not all beaches identified in the BEACH database were included. Beach points provided by the Lummi Indian Business Council were repositioned to fall within the land portion of the HYDRO layer. Four additional beach points were collected from local resource experts using hardcopy base maps with a scale of 1:24,000. These points were digitized off of the hardcopy maps. BOAT RAMPS: Four sources of data were used to depict locations of boat ramps: (1) Washington State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (IAC), (2) Washington State Department of Ecology BEACH database (Ecology), (3) Lummi Indian Business Council, and (4) local resource experts. Digital points provided by the IAC and Ecology's BEACH database were repositioned to ensure that each location more closely matched its actual position on land. The positions used in this database were identified using the HYDRO layer and 1-meter black-and-white digital orthophotographs. Not all boat ramps identified in both datasets were included. Digital points provided by Lummi Indian Business Council were repositioned to fall within the land portion of the HYDRO layer, where necessary. Additional boat ramp points were provided by local resource experts using hardcopy base maps with a scale of 1:24,000. These points were digitized off of the hardcopy maps. BRIDGES: Digital lines were provided by Washington State Department of Transportation. Due to cartographic limitations, not all bridges identified in the original dataset were included. 2006-03-01T00:00:00 COAST GUARD STATIONS: Digital points representing U.S. Coast Guard stations were provided by the Portland Sector of the U.S. Coast Guard. DIVING SITES: Geographic coordinates for diving sites were collected from three locally well-known diving information websites. The latitude and longitude coordinates were used to generate digital point features. Many of the points represent land-based dive site entry locations. EQUIPMENT: Two sources of digital data points were used to depict locations of storage for, or availability of, spill response equipment: (1) Regional Response Team Northwest Area Committee and (2) Lummi Indian Business Council. Additional boat ramp points were provided by a local resource expert using hardcopy base maps with a scale of 1:24,000. FERRY ROUTES: Digital lines representing paths of ferry travel were provided by Washington State Department of Transportation. FERRY TERMINALS: Digital points representing ferry docking areas/terminals were provided by Washington State Department of Transportation and Washington State Department of Ecology (BEACH database). HATCHERIES: Two sources of digital data points were used to depict locations of hatcheries: (1) StreamNet website and (2) Lummi Indian Business Council. HAZARDOUS WASTE: Digital points representing Federal (Superfund) Cleanup Sites (FCS) were provided by Washington State Department of Ecology. All spatial duplicates were removed. INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY: The line that marks the boundary between the United States (Washington) and Canada (British Columbia) was provided by Washington Department of Natural Resources. LOCKS AND DAMS: Digital points representing locks and/or dams were provided by the StreamNet website. Only those dams associated with streams were included. LOG STORAGE: Local resource managers provided locations of log storage sites on hardcopy 1:24,000 scale base maps. These data were digitized off of the hardcopy maps to produce point features. MARINAS: Four sources of data were used to depict locations of marinas: (1) Washington State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (IAC), (2) Washington State Department of Ecology BEACH database (Ecology), (3) Lummi Indian Business Council, and (4) a local resource expert. Digital points provided by the IAC and Ecology's BEACH database were repositioned to ensure that each location more closely matched its actual position on land. The positions used in this database were identified using the HYDRO layer and 1-meter black-and-white digital orthophotographs. Not all marinas identified in both datasets were included. Digital points provided by Lummi Indian Business Council were repositioned to fall within the land portion of the HYDRO layer, where necessary. These points were digitized off of the hardcopy maps. PARKS: Digital points representing parks were provided by Washington State Department of Ecology (BEACH database). 2006-03-01T00:00:00 The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the SOCECON data layer. Depending on the type of source data, three general approaches are used for compiling the data layer: (1) information gathered during initial interviews and from hardcopy sources are compiled onto U.S. Geological Survey 1:24,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; (2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; (3) digital data layers are evaluated and used "as is" or integrated with the hardcopy data sources. See the Lineage section for additional information on the type of source data for this data layer. 2006-03-01T00:00:00 The compiled ESI, biology, and human-use data are plotted onto hardcopy draft maps. Following the delivery of draft maps to the participating resource experts, a second set of interviews is conducted to review the maps. If necessary, edits to the SOCECON data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2006-05-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: SOCECON LINES INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: DOWNLOADABLE DATA ALO.AQUATIC_BOUNDARY 2004-01-01 publication WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES 2004-01-01 publication DEAN, TOM AND RAYNA HOLTZ, BIANCA PERLA (VASHON ISLAND LAND TRUST) 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES 2004-01-01 publication MORRIS, TED (PARK MANAGER, BIRCH BAY STATE PARK) 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES 2004-01-01 publication MCBEE, STEVE (PARK MANAGER, DASH POINT STATE PARK) 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES 2004-01-01 publication JOHNSON, ROY (PARK RANGER, CAMANO ISLAND STATE PARK) 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES 2004-01-01 publication HINTON, DOUG (PARK MANAGER, DOSEWALLIPS STATE PARK) 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES 2004-01-01 publication HARTT, JACK (PARK MANAGER, DECEPTION PASS STATE PARK) 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES 2004-01-01 publication HAGEMAN, KEN (PARK MANAGER, FORT CASEY STATE PARK) 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES AND LOG STORAGE 2004-01-01 publication MILLER, JOHN (ENGINEERING FIELD ACTIVITY NORTHWEST [EFA NW]) POULSBO, WA 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION BEACHES, ACCESS POINTS, AND BOAT RAMP 2004-01-01 publication SCHMITT, JOE (CLALLAM COUNTY MARINE RESOURCES COMMITTEE [MRC]) 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: HARD-COPY TEXT | Type of Source Media: EMAIL BOAT-ACCESS ARTIFICIAL REEF LOCATIONS 2005-01-01 publication WASHINGTON DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE 2005 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: EMAIL 100000 DAM FACILITIES 2005-01-01 publication STREAMNET 2002 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: WEBSITE | Type of Source Media: online DIVING THE NORTHWEST: DIVE SITE REVIEWS 2005-01-01 publication DIVE SITE REVIEWS 2005 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online 100000 FACILITY/SITES (FEDERAL SUPERFUND CLEANUP SITES) 2003-01-01 publication WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY 1996 2006 Source Contribution: SOCECON LINES INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: DOWNLOADABLE DATA 24000 FERRY ROUTES OF WASHINGTON STATE 1999-01-01 publication WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 1999 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: CD-ROM GIS DATA: LUMMI NATION 2004 2004-01-01 publication LUMMI INDIAN BUSINESS COUNCIL 2004 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION INDIAN ISLAND ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES 2004-01-01 publication KALINA, WILLIAM B.
