These feature classes reside within the SOCECON Feature Data Set of the Lake Ontario 2023 ESI Geodatabase. They contain vector polygons and points representing Resource management human-use resource data for Lake Ontario and adjacent lands and waters. Vector polygons in this data set represent Designated Critical Habitats and essential habitats and vector points represent aquaculture sites, artificial reefs, recreational fishing locations, and water intakes for Lake Ontario. The study area includes the United States portion of Lake Ontario, covering the islands in New York: Association Island, Bass Island, Calf Island, Carl Island, Cherry Island, Eagle Island, Fox Island, Galloo Islands, Grenadier Island, Horse Island, Hoveys Island, Six Point Town, and Stony Island. Major Lake Ontario bays mapped include: Black River Bay, Blind Sodus Bay, Braddock Bay, Chaumont Bay, Guffin Bay, Irondequoit Bay, Henderson Bay, Little Sodus Bay, Mexico Bay, Port Bay, Sawyer Bay, and Sodus Bay. Object specific Type and Source information are stored in the related data tables, SOC_DAT and SOURCES (described below). These are stand-alone tables within the Geodatabase, designed to be used in conjunction with these spatial data layers. This data set is a portion of the ESI data for the Lake Ontario System. 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 purposes, 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.

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, check the sources listed in the Lineage section. Completeness Report These data represent a synthesis of multiple sources of data (e.g. expert knowledge, digital data, hardcopy documents and maps) specific to Resource management. For additional human-use information, see other feature class themes within the SOCECON Feature Data Set, including PARKS/MANAGED AREAS, POLITICAL/JURISDICTIONAL, SOCIOECONOMIC/OTHER, NAVIGATIONAL/MARINE and/or NATURAL HAZARD. These data do not necessarily represent all socioeconomic features found in Lake Ontario. 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 a several consistency checks, and processed into the final delivery format. The main sources of data used to depict human-use resources for the RESOURCE_POLY data layer were digital datasets as well as expert knowledge from resource experts. Designated Critical Habitat for piping plover (Charadrius melodus) was provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Significant habitats needed to support key life stages of ecological communities or species were provided by resource experts representing the New York Natural Heritage Program. 2023-08-15T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor The main source of data used to depict human-use resources for the RESOURCE_POINT data layer was through digital datasets. Managed aquaculture sites were provided by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Artificial reef data were provided by the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Framework. Recreational fishing sites were provided by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation showing locations of top streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds for fishing in New York State. Water intakes were provided by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Bureau of Water Resource Management. 2023-08-15T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor The above digital and/or hardcopy sources were compiled by the project biologist to create the RESOURCE_POLY and RESOURCE_POINT data layers. These data were developed as RESOURCE_POINTS and RESOURCE_POLYS within the Lake Ontario 2023 ESI study region, following ESI Guidelines. Additional data are contained in the joined table SOC_DAT using HUNUM as a unique ID, and in SOURCES using SOURCE_ID as a unique ID. 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 1:42,000 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 RESOURCE_POLY and RESOURCE_POINT data layers are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2023-08-15T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Source Contribution: RESOURCE_POLY INFO; VECTOR DIGITAL DATA.
