The RESOURCE_POLY data set contains data for Designated Critical Habitat and essential habitats in Lake Michigan. 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 Lake Michigan. 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. 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. CREDIT: This project was funded by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC) LCDR Chris Duffy assisted in many aspects of the project’s completion. Nicolle Rutherford with NOAA’s Office of Response and Restoration (ORR), Emergency Response Division and Robb Wright with NOAA’s ORR, Assessment and Restoration Division, Spatial Data Branch reviewed and approved the final products. The biological and human-use data included on the maps were provided by numerous individuals and agencies.

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 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 1:42,000. 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 digital data on human-use or management resources. These data do not necessarily represent all Resource areas in Lake Michigan. 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 ESI 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. In the process of checking for topological and database consistencies, new ID's and RARNUM's or HUNUM's are also generated, while retaining the original RARNUM or HUNUM stored as MAPRAR and MAPHUN, respectively. The new ID's 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 RARNUM's are also modified to include the atlas number, so multiple atlases can be combined and RARNUM's remain unique. RARNUM's are redefined on an element basis, so "resources at risk" groupings will contain only a single element. HUNUM's are also modified to include the atlas number. The main sources of data that were used to depict human-use resources for the RESOURCE_POINT data layer are as follows: 1) Managed aquaculture sites were provided by theDr Steve Hussey with the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources; 2) Artificial reef data were provided by the Great Lakes Aquatic Habitat Framework; 3) Recreational fishing sites were provided by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MIDNR); and 4) Surface water intakes were provided by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). 2025-01-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Two main sources of data were used to depict management areas for the RESOURCE_POLY data layer. They are as follows: 1) Designated Critical Habitat for piping plover (Charadrius melodus) and Hine's Emerald Dragonfly (Somatochlora hineana) was provided by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; and 2) Significant habitats needed to support key life stages of ecological communities or species were provided by resource experts from the Michigan State University Extension, Michigan Natural Features Inventory (MNFI), the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (Critical Dunes), as well as the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (INDNR). 2025-05-01T00:00:00 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 _POINT data layers. 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 data layers are made based on the recommendations of the resource experts, and final hardcopy maps and digital data are created. 2025-05-01T00:00:00 ESI Program Manager orr.esi@noaa.gov processor Source Contribution: RESOURCE_POLY CRITICAL DUNE AREAS MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, GREAT LAKES, AND ENERGY https://gis-egle.hub.arcgis.com/datasets/5387cc084d644512a8efb57f9dc6b2c3_2/explore?location=44.819910%2C-86.045990%2C7.51 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Online Linkage Source Citation URL information originator 2025-02-04 Source Contribution: RESOURCE_POINT INFORMATION DNR MANAGED PROPERTIES WISCONSIN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (WIDNR) https://data-wi-dnr.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/wi-dnr::dnr-managed-properties/explore WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Online Linkage URL where the source data were originally accessed. information originator 2022-02-18 Source Contribution: RESOURCE_POINT INFORMATION FISHFARMS.XLSX MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT (MDARD) - DR STEVE HUSSEY originator 2020-12-17 Source Contribution: RESOURCE_POINT INFORMATION FISHING ACCESS SITES MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (MIDNR) https://gis-midnr.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/54c0daf0a62549d2a515b7b932a9228e_0/explore?location=44.400296%2C-85.902350%2C7.98 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Online Linkage URL where the source data were originally accessed. information originator 2020-12-16 Source Contribution: RESOURCE_POLY INDIANA NATURAL HERITAGE COMMUNITY DATA (ESSENTIAL HABITATS) INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (INDNR) originator 2024 Source Contribution: RESOURCE_POLY MICHIGAN NATURAL FEATURE INVENTORY DATA (ESSENTIAL HABITATS) MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY EXTENSION, MICHIGAN NATURAL FEATURES INVENTORY (MNFI) originator 2024 Source Contribution: RESOURCE_POINT INFORMATION REEF LOCATIONS GREAT LAKES AQUATIC HABITAT FRAMEWORK (GLAHF) https://hub.glahf.org/ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Online Linkage URL where the source data were originally accessed. information originator 2023-08-31 Source Contribution: RESOURCE_POINT INFORMATION SURFACE WATER INTAKES MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY (MDEQ) https://gisp.mcgi.state.mi.us/arcgis/rest/DEQ WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Online Linkage URL where the source data were originally accessed. information originator 2025-03-25 Source Contribution: RESOURCE_POLY USFWS CRITICAL HABITAT US FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE (USFWS) https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp/report/table/critical-habitat.html WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Online Linkage Source Citation URL information originator 2023-08-15
