This data set contains human-use resource data for access points, aquaculture sites, airports, artificial reefs, boat ramps, coast guard stations, heliports, historical sites, lock and dam sites, marinas, and water intakes for the Upper Coast of Texas. Vector points and lines in this data set represent human-use site locations. Location-specific type and source information are 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 ESI data for the Upper Coast of Texas. 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 Upper Coast of Texas 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 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; and Texas General Land Office (TGLO), Austin, Texas. 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 https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/esimaps/gisdata/TX_UpperCoast_2013_datafig.jpg Depicts the relationships between spatial data layers and attribute data tables for the Upper Coast of Texas ESI data.

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 source data 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 Upper Coast of Texas ESI database, for additional human-use information. These data do not necessarily represent all human-use sites in the Upper Coast of Texas. 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(R) to ARC/INFO(R) consistencies. After the data are delivered to NOAA, they are again subjected to a number of quality and consistency checks. In the process of checking for topological and database consistencies, new IDs and RARNUMs or HUNUMs are also generated. The new IDs are a combination of atlas number, element number, and record number. In addition, the value used to represent the element is modified to reflect the type of feature being mapped. In the case of an element that is normally represented by a point or polygon, a value of 20 is added to the standard element value for mapping of linear features. In the case where an element usually mapped as a polygon is represented by a point, a value of 30 is added to the regular element value. The RARNUMs are also modified to include the atlas number, so multiple atlases can be combined and RARNUMs remain unique. RARNUMs are redefined on an element basis, so "resource at risk" groupings will contain only a single element. HUNUMs are also modified to include the atlas number. Three main sources of data were used to depict human-use resources for this data layer: 1) personal interviews with resource experts from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD); 2) numerous published and unpublished reports from TPWD; and 3) digital data sets provided by Texas General Land Office (TGLO), Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), TPWD, United States Geological Survey (USGS), Texas Historical Commission (THC), Hook-N-Line, Inc., Google, Inc., and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). 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. 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 SOCECON data layer are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2013-07-01T00:00:00 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc 24000 AQUACULTURE SITES 2005-01-01 publication TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE/TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (TGLO)/(TDA) 2005 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc ARTIFICIAL REEFS 1993-01-01 publication TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE (TGLO) 1993 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc 24000 BEACH ACCESS POINTS 2008-01-01 publication TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE (TGLO) 2008 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc 24000 BOAT RAMPS 2011-01-01 publication TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE (TGLO) 1996 2011 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: document | Type of Source Media: EMAIL BOAT-ACCESS SITE LIST FOR HIGH-USE AREA 2013 - GALVESTON BAY 2013-01-01 publication TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT (TPWD) 2013 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: document | Type of Source Media: EMAIL BOAT-ACCESS SITE LIST FOR HIGH-USE AREA 2013 - MATAGORDA BAY 2013-01-01 publication TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT (TPWD) 2013 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc F102 Boat Fishing Electronic GPS SD Card for the Galveston Bay Area 2009-01-01 publication HOOK-N-LINE, INC. http://www.hooknline.com/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2009 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: map | Type of Source Media: online GOOGLE MAPS 2013-01-01 publication GOOGLE, INC. http://maps.google.com WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2013 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc 24000 MARINAS 2008-01-01 publication TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE (TGLO) 1997 2008 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online NATIONAL HYDROGRAPHY DATASET 2012-01-01 publication UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY (USGS) http://nhd.usgs.gov/data.html WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2012 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online NATIONAL REGISTER PROPERTIES 2009-01-01 publication TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION (THC) ftp://ftp.thc.state.tx.us/GIS/National_Register/Properties/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2009 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION ATLAS DATABASES - AIRPORTS 2011-01-01 publication FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (AERONAUTICAL INFORMATION SERVICES, ATA-100) http://www.bts.gov/programs/geographic_information_services/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information 2011 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY SURFACE INTAKES 2012-01-01 publication TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (TCEQ) 2012 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: online STATE HISTORIC SITES 2008-01-01 publication TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION (THC) 2008 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: EXPERT KNOWLEDGE | Type of Source Media: PERSONAL COMMUNICATION TEXAS LOCKS AND DAMS 2012-01-01 publication UNITED STATES ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS (USACE) 2012 Source Contribution: SOCECON INFORMATION | Source Geospatial Form: vector digital data | Type of Source Media: disc U.S. COAST GUARD (USCG) STATIONS IN TEXAS COASTAL COUNTIES 1994-01-01 publication TEXAS GENERAL LAND OFFICE (TGLO) 1994
