California Vegetation - WHR13 Types

<div>An accurate depiction of the spatial distribution of habitat types within California is required for a variety of legislatively-mandated government functions. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's CALFIRE Fire and Resource Assessment Program (FRAP), in cooperation with California Department of Fish and Wildlife VegCamp program and extensive use of USDA Forest Service Region 5 Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) data, has compiled the "best available" land cover data available for California into a single comprehensive statewide data set. The data span a period from approximately 1990+. Typically the most current, detailed and consistent data were collected for various regions of the state. Decision rules were developed that controlled which layers were given priority in areas of overlap.

Statewide Irrigation Systems Methods Survey

Beginning in 1991 and approximately every 5 - 10 years an irrigation questionnaire form is distributed by mail and online survey to California growers to update records on what types of irrigation systems are being used in California. The 1991, 2001, 2010, 2016, and 2021 surveys were distributed to growers who were randomly selected from a list of about 58,000 growers obtained from the [California Department of Food and Agriculture](https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/) (CDFA). All rice-only, non-irrigation, and livestock-only growers were excluded from the list.

In these surveys, growers were also asked to identify the main county in which they farmed and the acreages they had planted to each of 20 possible crop categories along with the associated irrigation method within that county.
SWAP Aquatic Targets - 2015 [ds2733]

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP) is designed to enhance CDFW conservation efforts. To this end, the plan establishes regions called “Provinces”, which are composed of spatially defined “Conservation Units”. Each Conservation Unit has “targets”, which are ecosystems or aquatic features which have distinct characteristics which are considered especially worth of focused conservation efforts. These Provinces, Conservation Units, and Targets are discussed in Chapter 5 of the 2015 SWAP Update, which can be found at https://wildlife.ca.gov/SWAP/Final. There are two distinct groups of conservation units. Terrestrial units represent those that protect terrestrial features, such as marshes, grasslands, or riparian habitats. Aquatic units protect aquatic features, such as fisheries or desert waters and are identified in another dataset. . This data set shows the spatial locations of Aquatic Conservation Units and identifies which Provinces they are associated with as well as where to find information about Conservation Targets within each Unit. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to determine if their project actually contains target habitat(s). That can be done by identifying the Province and Conservation Unit in which the project occurs and then reviewing Table 1 in the appropriate section of Chapter 5 of the SWAP 2015 document.To use this data set, locate your project and identify the chapter and page where the information about the Conservation Targets can be found. Click on the Chapter link and go to the appropriate page to identify the characteristics of the Conservation Targets and compare them to the characteristics of the vegetation on your site.

Release Notes

The following is a summary of the differences between the current release DSM2 FC.2023.01 and the previous release DSM2 v8.2.2:

- Updated cross-sections and channel lengths using the DSM2 GIS Reference Project, which used 2018 bathmetry,
and determined channel lengths using the CSDP centerline lengths (for more information, see Chapter 2 of the 2020 Annual Report at
https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/dsm2/resource/010599fd-6d3c-42a6-bade-37822d4aa486). 
- Added reservoirs to represent the Yolo Flyway, Decker Island, and Tule Red restoration areas
- Added channels to represent the Lindsey Slough restoration area.
- Added a channel to connect the two branches of Paradise Cut.
- Added channels to connect the Yolo Flyway, Decker Island, and Tule Red Restoration areas to the model grid. 
- Added layered reservoir input for all reservoirs.
- Added channels for the Yolo Toe Drain, aka Prospect Slough.
- Added Yolo Toe Drain inflow data as a boundary inflow.
- Removed low flows from Calaveras flow input (lower flows don't make it to the Delta).
  
This release contains time series inputs from the 2022 DSM2 historical release, with the following changes:
- removed lower flow values from Calaveras River inflow time series. These lower flows do not actually make it to the Delta.
- Added a time series for Yolo Toe Drain (aka Prospect Slough) inflow.

Medi-Cal Annual Renewals by County

This dataset includes information regarding annual Medi-Cal eligibility renewals conducted for beneficiaries by counties each month. The data is from the Statewide Automated Welfare System (SAWS), which determines Medi-Cal eligibility and conducts ongoing case management. The SAWS reports the number of renewals due and the renewals completed by the due date and within the renewals processing timeframe. This dataset is part of the public reporting requirements set forth in California Welfare and Institutions Code 14102.5(3) et seq.

Southern Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog Range (N CA DPS) - CWHR A044a [ds2848]

<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p style='margin:0 0 0 0;'><span><span>CWHR species range datasets represent the maximum current geographic extent of each species within California. Ranges were originally delineated at a scale of 1:5,000,000 by species-level experts more than 30 years ago and have gradually been revised at a scale of 1:1,000,000. Species occurrence data are used in defining species ranges, but range polygons may extend beyond the limits of extant occurrence data for a particular species. When drawing range boundaries, CDFW seeks to err on the side of commission rather than omission. This means that CDFW may include areas within a range based on expert knowledge or other available information, despite an absence of confirmed occurrences, which may be due to a lack of survey effort. The degree to which a range polygon is extended beyond occurrence data will vary among species, depending upon each species’ vagility, dispersal patterns, and other ecological and life history factors. The boundary line of a range polygon is drawn with consideration of these factors and is aligned with standardized boundaries including watersheds (NHD), ecoregions (USDA), or other ecologically meaningful delineations such as elevation contour lines. While CWHR ranges are meant to represent the current range, once an area has been designated as part of a species’ range in CWHR, it will remain part of the range even if there have been no documented occurrences within recent decades. An area is not removed from the range polygon unless experts indicate that it has not been occupied for a number of years after repeated surveys or is deemed no longer suitable and unlikely to be recolonized. It is important to note that range polygons typically contain areas in which a species is not expected to be found due to the patchy configuration of suitable habitat within a species’ range. In this regard, range polygons are coarse generalizations of where a species may be found.

DCSS Case Overview

This data table provides the basic information for California child support cases, such as number of cases per county, the number of cases where the child is currently receiving public assistance, number of cases where the child formerly received public assistance (but no longer does), and the number of cases where the child has never received public assistance.  The data is sorted by county and broken into the Current Public Assistance, Former Public Assistance and Never Assisted types, the table will also show the percentage of that county’s total caseload.
