Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics Database: GRSA

Hydrographic and Impairment Statistics (HIS) is a National Park Service (NPS) Water Resources Division (WRD) project established to track certain goals created in response to the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). One water resources management goal established by the Department of the Interior under GRPA requires NPS to track the percent of its managed surface waters that are meeting Clean Water Act (CWA) water quality standards. This goal requires an accurate inventory that spatially quantifies the surface water hydrography that each bureau manages and a procedure to determine and track which waterbodies are or are not meeting water quality standards as outlined by Section 303(d) of the CWA. This project helps meet this DOI GRPA goal by inventorying and monitoring in a geographic information system for the NPS: (1) CWA 303(d) quality impaired waters and causes; and (2) hydrographic statistics based on the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). Hydrographic and 303(d) impairment statistics were evaluated based on a combination of 1:24,000 (NHD) and finer scale data (frequently provided by state GIS layers).

Wet meadow and fen mapping of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (geodatabase)

The Wet Meadows and Fens Geodatabase of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (SEKI) was produced over a three month period (late February through early May 2013). The resulting products are intended to:

(1) Identify and classify all target wetlands (wet meadows and fens) >0.5 hectare in the parks and provide an estimate of the proportion of each feature which is peat accumulating. Over 2300 polygons represent wetlands in three mapping classes: wet meadows, fen-meadow complexes, and fens.

(2) Identify locations of fens within park boundaries. More than 600 fen points identify locations where fens are known or presumed to occur. 

Mapped polygons are based on photo interpretation of Natural Color and Color Infrared NAIP aerial photography from 2005, 2009, 2010, and 2012. Ancillary data informing mapping decisions included: the SEKI Vegetation map, 7.5-minute USGS topographic maps, the National Wetlands Inventory Wetland Layer, the SEKI Rivers and Streams Layer, and 2012 spatial data depicting known fen locations produced by the SEKI Plant Ecology program.

Overall spatial accuracy of the resulting map products is equivalent to 1:24000 National Map Accuracy Standards. Overall classification accuracy was estimated to be 83% (90% CI = 78 – 89%) based on field assessments of 138 polygons. Revised mapping class and peat accumulation attributes based on accuracy assessment are included.

These geospatial data are provided in Esri File Geodatabase format containing: (1) a polygon feature class depicting wet meadow and fen delineations; and (2) a point feature class indicating the locations of fens within the park boundary. Detailed metadata are provided in XML format and basic metadata are provided in PDF format.

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Bandelier National Monument

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

The initial base map layers were developed using the 2 m resolution color aerial orthophotos, since they had the highest spatial resolution. The regions were designed on their shared physiography: Eastside, Westside, Riverside, USFS, and Tsankawi sub-units. The vegetation map was developed using a combination of automated digital processing (supervised classifications and image segmentation) and direct image interpretation of high-resolution color and color infrared aerial orthophotography in combination with satellite imagery (Landsat Thematic Mapper).

Imagery data for the Vegetation Mapping Inventory Project of Golden Spike National Historic Site

This reference contains the imagery data used in the completion of the baseline vegetation inventory project for the NPS park unit.  Orthophotos, raw imagery, and scanned aerial photos are common files held here.

For the vegetation mapping at GOSP, 1-m resolution, true color orthophotography flown in 2006 by the State of Utah served as the base imagery to guide mapping by field crews and support digital interpretation. This imagery had relatively low contrast, and did not show differences in herbaceous vegetation that would have been visible on infrared imagery. As a result, the final map was developed using 1-foot-resolution true color imagery also flown by the State of Utah. This imagery was of very high quality; individual bunchgrass clumps and snakeweed shrubs were clearly visible with magnification.

Vegetation and land use mapping units were interpreted to as detailed a level as possible from high-resolution, 9” x 9” stereo pairs of 1:12,000-scale true color aerial photography. A combination of methods was used to delineate and interpret vegetation polygons for the mapping component of the CEBR project area, including the use of ERDAS Imagine software facilitated by heads-up (on-screen) digitizing. The project used the program standard minimum mapping unit of 0.5 ha (1.24 acres) with few exceptions.
