Critical habitat includes the water, waterway bottom, and adjacent riparian zone of specified river reaches. Adjacent riparian zones are defined as those areas within a horizontal distance of 300 feet (91.4 m) from the normal line of high water of a stream channel (600 feet or 182.8 m, when both sides of the stream channel are included) or from the shoreline of a standing body of water.

Steelhead_LowerColumbiaRiverDPS_20050902

Critical habitat includes the stream channels within the designated stream reaches, and includes a lateral extent as defined by the ordinary high-water line (33 CFR 319.11). In areas where ordinary high-water line has not been defined, the lateral extent is defined by the bankfull elevation. Bankfull elevation is the level at which water begins to leave the channel and move into the floodplain and is reached at a discharge which generally has a recurrence interval of 1 to 2 years on the annual flood series. Critical habitat in lake areas is defined by the perimeter of the water body as displayed on standard 1:24,000 scale topographic maps or the elevation of ordinary high water, whichever is greater.See the final rule (70 FR 52630) for descriptions of areas excluded from this critical habitat designation. Excluded Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) lands were not clipped out of the data.

Critical habitat in bays and estuaries includes tidally influenced areas as defined by the elevation of mean higher high water (MHHW). The boundary between coastal marine areas and bays and estuaries is delineated by the COLREGS lines (33 CFR 80). Critical habitat in coastal marine areas is defined by the zone between the 60 fathom (fm) depth bathymetry line and the line on shore reached by mean lower low water (MLLW), or to the COLREGS lines.No areas were deemed ineligible for designation. No unoccupied areas were designated. 14 areas based on economic impacts and 5 areas based on national security impacts were excluded from this critical habitat designation and clipped out of the data.

National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS-2010)

<p>The National Mental Health Services Survey (N-MHSS) is an annual survey designed to collect statistical information on the numbers and characteristics of all known mental health treatment facilities within the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories. In every other year, beginning in 2014, the survey also collects statistical information on the numbers and demographic characteristics of persons served in these treatment facilities as of a specified survey reference date.<br />
The N-MHSS is the only source of national and State-level data on the mental health service delivery system reported by both publicly-operated and privately-operated specialty mental health treatment facilities, including: public psychiatric hospitals; private psychiatric hospitals, non-federal general hospitals with separate psychiatric units; U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers; residential treatment centers for children; residential treatment centers for adults; outpatient or day treatment or partial hospitalization mental health facilities; and multi-setting (non-hospital) mental health facilities.</p>
<p>The N-MHSS complements the information collected through SAMHSA's survey of substance abuse treatment facilities, the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS). Treatment facility Information from the N-MHSS is used to populate the mental health component of SAMHSA's online Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator. <a href="http://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/This">http://findtreatment.samhsa.gov/This</a> study has 1 Data Set.</p>

Non-floodplain wetlands are carbon-storage powerhouses

Carbon dynamics in wetlands are important to quantify as wetlands both store and release carbon, affecting global climate-change modeling and mitigation efforts. Non-floodplain wetlands (NFWs) are an abundant freshwater wetland type located outside of frequently flooded streams, rivers, and lake areas. Over half the world’s wetlands may be NFWs. We analyzed data from a multi-year sampling effort of nearly 2000 wetland sites in the conterminous-US (CONUS), sampled to be representative of nearly 38 Mha of CONUS wetlands. Wetlands were classified based on their hydrology and location as NFWs and other wetland types (e.g., associated with rivers, lakes, or estuaries). Wetlands were also classed and analyzed based on their relative condition (i.e., their health relative to other wetlands). Our results show that NFWs are carbon-storing powerhouses: on a per-hectare basis, they store 1.5x the soil carbon of other wetland types. When storage is summed across CONUS, NFWs in total store ~2.0x the total carbon of other wetlands. Wetland condition affects carbon dynamics: least impaired NFWs had 1.8x the carbon stored per-hectare than the most-disturbed NFWs. Waning protection of NFWs, leading to their alteration or destruction, could increase carbon releases to the atmosphere and negatively affect global climate change mitigation.

Headwater streams and catchments across the conterminous United States

Data available in Zenodo via doi: 10.5281/zenodo.16318572

Headwater streams play critical roles in hydrologic and biogeochemical processes and functions, yet their spatial distribution and land cover context remain poorly understood at continental scales. Building from a high-resolution conterminous United States (CONUS) hydrography network dataset, we quantified the spatial extent, density, and upstream catchment characteristics of headwater stream segments across the CONUS. We identified approximately 8.4 million kilometers of headwater streams – 77% of the total stream network is comprised of headwaters – nearly double the total length represented in prior estimates. Stream density varied fivefold across regions, from under 1 km•km-² in arid basins to over 5 km•km-² in humid, forested areas. Over 73% of the CONUS landmass drains from headwater streams. The majority of headwater stream length occurred in forested and cultivated catchments across the CONUS, while substantial regional differences were evident for headwater stream distribution in other land cover classes (e.g., wetlands, urban areas, shrublands, and herbaceous-dominated catchments). Our analysis provides the first continental-scale, high-resolution characterization of headwater streams, offering new insights and opportunities for hydrologic modeling, ecological assessments, and environmental policy.

Plain Language Summary:
Headwater streams—the small streams at the origins of rivers—are essential for clean water and healthy ecosystems. But because they’re small and often hidden, they've been hard to identify and delineate nationwide due to inconsistent data and definitions. This study combined existing data sets and added new analyses to consistently map headwater streams and the drainages across the conterminous United States (CONUS). Analysis of these data revealed that headwater streams are nearly twice as widespread as previously shown, totaling 8.4 million kilometers. We also found that most land drains to a headwaters stream, and most stream kilometers are headwaters. Human alteration of the landscape for agriculture and urbanization also reduces the prevalence of headwater streams. This is the first time headwater streams have been identified on available maps with such granularity and spatially explicit detail across the CONUS, offering a powerful new tool to guide conservation and policy.
