Gray Fox Habitat Model for NSNF Connectivity - CDFW [ds1041]

This grid represents habitat suitability based on the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR) expert opinion habitat suitability rankings by habitat type. Habitat suitability rankings (ranging 0-100) for each combination of habitat type, size class (dbh) and cover class (density) were applied to the 30 m vegetation grid using CWHRs Bioview. These values were then averaged across grid cells to create a 270 m grid consistent with that used in the Maxent models for the project. The grid was then symbolized to represent low (0-50), medium (50-75) and high (75-100) habitat suitability. Models were reviewed by CDFW species experts; please review the use limitations.For more information see the project report at [https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=85358].

Black Swift Range - CWHR B279 [ds605]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 14 0;"><SPAN><SPAN>Vector datasets of CWHR range maps are one component of California Wildlife Habitat Relationships (CWHR), a comprehensive information system and predictive model for California's wildlife. The CWHR System was developed to support habitat conservation and management, land use planning, impact assessment, education, and research involving terrestrial vertebrates in California. CWHR contains information on life history, management status, geographic distribution, and habitat relationships for wildlife species known to occur regularly in California. Range maps represent the maximum, current geographic extent of each species within California. They were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000.

Elk Creek Seismic Waveforms 2011 (Part 8 of 19)

Coal bursts (damaging seismic events in underground coal mines) pose a substantial threat to operations and mine workers. The underground coal mines in Colorado’s North Fork Valley (NFV) have experienced many coal bursts, often with distinct characteristics from those of other US coal mining regions. To better understand these events and manage their associated risks, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health undertook a long-term monitoring campaign at the Elk Creek Mine in the NFV. The monitoring efforts included a seismic network composed of both surface and underground sensors, borehole pressure cells (BPCs), instrumented support Cans, convergence monitors, ground condition surveys, and several other data sources. This dataset consists of the event waveform files from the seismic network for the 983,379 events that were detected during the monitoring campaign. The waveforms are stored in HDF5 files that are broken up by week. Within the HDF5 files, the data are organized by station id, event time, and channel. The amplitudes are velocity in meters/second.

Acoustic Bird Survey - Terrestrial Species Stressor Monitoring [ds2824]

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Automated acoustic recorders were deployed at 331 sites across the Mojave Desert ecoregion and 263 sites across the Great Valley ecoregion between March and July of 2016 and 2017. At each survey location, an SM3-BAT bioacoustic recorder was deployed with both an SMM-A1 acoustic microphone and an SMM-U1 ultrasonic microphone (Wildlife Acoustics, Inc., Maynard, MA, USA, hereafter termed ARU). Automated recorders were cable locked to securely-placed T-posts, with microphones 2 meters above the ground, and were located within 10 meters of the site center at a relatively open spot not occupied by thick vegetation. The ARUs were programmed to record three 5-minute sessions each morning during the survey period, with the first session at 30 minutes before sunrise, the second at sunrise, and the third at 30 minutes after sunrise. The ARUs were also programmed to alternate between 7.5-minute audible acoustic recordings and 22.5-minute triggered, full-spectrum ultrasonic recordings from 30 minutes before sunset until 0400 the following morning, at which time the ultrasonic recordings ceased; the 7.5-minute acoustic recordings continued every 30 minutes until the 5-minute dawn chorus recordings began at 30 minutes before sunrise. Deployments lasted for seven consecutive days, on average. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>For the avian acoustic analysis, all birds were surveyed on the acoustic channel from the three 5-minute dawn chorus recordings collected from three mornings during the survey period, preferably from consecutive days. Recordings were reviewed, and bird species identified by song or call. To aid in bird identification, spectrograms were visually examined using Raven Pro software (v. 1.5; Cornell Lab of Ornithology Bioacoustics Research Program, Ithaca, NY, USA). Multispecies hierarchical occupancy models were then used to estimate 1) the probability a given bird species occurred within the area sampled by an acoustic recorder during the survey period, 2) the richness of bird species, and 3) community and species-specific responses to different ecological covariates. For each sampling location, each 5-minute acoustic recording (n = 9) was treated as a repeat survey at that particular site. Occurrence and detection probabilities were assumed to differ between years and among species, and were assumed to be influenced by ecological covariates (e.g., crop cover, forest cover, water availability). </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

2014 Georgiana Slough Floating Fish Guidance Structure Performance Evaluation - GSNPB-14_Legacy_Reports v2

In an effort to identify potential engineering approaches to reduce the percentage of salmonids that migrate from the Sacramento River into Georgiana Slough, DWR implemented a large-scale testing program in 2011 and 2012 to assess the effectiveness of a non-physical barrier design (i.e., a Bio-Acoustic Fish Fence, or BAFF). The experimental design of the 2011 and 2012 tests used acoustically tagged juvenile Chinook salmon and steelhead (2012 only), released upstream of the BAFF when the barrier was ‘On’ and ‘Off’ (i.e., in operation or not in operation, respectively), to determine the effectiveness of the barrier. In 2014, a physical barrier called a Floating Fish Guidance Structure (FFGS) was tested, with methods similar to those used during the testing of the BAFF barriers in 2011 and 2012. This report presents the results of the tests conducted in 2014 using the FFGS (2014 GSFFGS Study).

Each polygon represents the area in which a Plan is to be implemented. The boundaries were provided to DWR by the affiliated public agency and compiled into a single statewide data set. Spatial plan boundaries were provided by agencies to DWR either via shapefiles or PDFs. PDFs were georeferenced and turned into GIS layers by DWR employees. This feature class is for legacy purposes only and will not be changed nor updated. It needs to be memorialized for spatial coverage of Groundwater Management Plans prior to SGMA and because SGMA only requires medium and high priority basins to have a Groundwater Sustainability Plan. The Plans outlined in this shapefile by medium and high priority basins are in effect until SGMA goes into effect. Some low and very low priority basins will likely use the existing plans to get funding for future basin management (since it is only voluntary for them to provide a Plan under SGMA, but they already have one in place). The data set is considered complete because of its legacy status. However, anyone using the data set will notice boundary inconsistencies, agency plan overlaps, mismatches, and other topology errors. The data set is based on boundary estimations and in the cases of medium and high priority basins will be outdated with in implementation of SGMA.</span></p><p style='margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:1.5rem; font-family:&quot;Avenir Next W01&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next W00&quot;, &quot;Avenir Next&quot;, Avenir, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif; font-size:16px;'><span style='font-family:inherit;'>The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standard version 3.1, dated September 11, 2019.
