This data set contains the following human-use resource data for Northern California: access areas, airports, aquaculture sites, beaches, boat ramps, Coast Guard areas, commercial/recreational fishing areas, essential habitats, historical sites, hoists, marinas, staging areas, subsistence areas, wash overs, and water intakes. Vector points and lines in this data set represent the human-use locations. 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 Northern 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. See also the MGT (Management Area Polygons) data layer, part of the larger Northern California 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.

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. See also the MGT (Management Area Polygons) data layer, part of the larger Northern California ESI database, for additional human-use information. These data do not necessarily represent all human-use sites in Northern California. 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 nodes, etc.), and SQL SERVER\xAE to ARC/INFO\xAE consistencies. A final review is made by the GIS manager, where the data are written to CD or 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. Three main sources of data were used to depict human-use resources for this data layer: 1) personal interviews with resource experts from the California Department of Fish & Game (CDF&G), Calfornia State Parks (CSP), National Park Service (NPS); 2) published reports, and 3) digital socioeconomic layers provided by CDF&G. Bridges were located using U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Maps. State borders were taken from the 1994 Northern California ESI Atlas. 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 USGS 1:24,000 topographic quadrangles and digitized; 2) hardcopy maps are digitized at their source scale; and/or 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. 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. 2008-12-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: HARDCOPY TEXT | Type of Source Media: online 2005 SECTOR SAN FRANCISCO AREA ACP 1 NORTH COAST; VOLUME 2: MENDOCINO COUNTY SECTION 9814 2005-01-01 publication U.S. COAST GUARD (USCG) SECTOR SAN FRANCISCO 2005 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: HARDCOPY TEXT | Type of Source Media: online 2005 SECTOR SAN FRANCISCO-ACP 1 NORTH COAST: HUMBOLDT BAY SECTION 9813 2005-01-01 publication USCG SECTOR SAN FRANCISCO 2005 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online AIRPORTS 1997-01-01 publication TEALE GIS SOLUTIONS GROUP 1997 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online ALTERNATIVE B.2 OF THE PACIFIC COAST GROUNDFISH ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT (EFH) DRAFT EIS (ESTUARIES HAPC) 2005-01-01 publication TERRALOGIC GIS, INC. 2005 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: HARDCOPY TEXT | Type of Source Media: online ALTERNATIVE B.4 OF THE PACIFIC COAST GROUNDFISH EFH DRAFT EIS (SEAGRASS HAPC) 2005-01-01 publication TERRALOGIC GIS, INC. 2005 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online ALTERNATIVE B.6 OF THE PACIFIC GROUNDFISH EFH DRAFT EIS (ROCKY REEFS HAPC) 2005-01-01 publication TERRALOGIC GIS, INC. 2005 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: spreadsheet | Type of Source Media: EMAIL AQUACULTURE SITES 2007-01-01 publication MOORE, T.
