Aquatic Rare Reptile Richness - ACE [ds2751]

For more information, see the Aquatic Rare Species Richness Factsheet at [https://nrm.dfg.ca.gov/FileHandler.ashx?DocumentID=150853]. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW) Areas of Conservation Emphasis (ACE) is a compilation and analysis of the best-available statewide spatial information in California on biodiversity, rarity and endemism, harvested species, significant habitats, connectivity and wildlife movement, climate vulnerability, climate refugia, and other relevant data (e.g., other conservation priorities such as those identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan (SWAP), stressors, land ownership). ACE addresses both terrestrial and aquatic data. The ACE model combines and analyzes terrestrial information in a 2.5 square mile hexagon grid and aquatic information at the HUC12 watershed level across the state to produce a series of maps for use in non-regulatory evaluation of conservation priorities in California. The model addresses as many of CDFWs statewide conservation and recreational mandates as feasible using high quality data sources. High value areas statewide and in each USDA Ecoregion were identified. The ACE maps and data can be viewed in the ACE online map viewer, or downloaded for use in ArcGIS.

Refuge Delivery Points - Central Valley Project Improvement Act [ds2638]

Data was compiled to provide a singular visual representation of delivery points used to complete water deliveries to CVPIA wetland habitat area. The data is intended to be used in conjunction with refuge conveyance data in order to evaluate whether potential new sources of refuge water supplies be utilized by refuges through existing conveyance contracts. Delivery points are considered by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Refuge Water Supply Program as the boundary of wetland habitat areas as described by section 3406(d) of the CVPIA.
Hexagon (HxGN) Imagery Extents California

Extent boundaries for sets of Hexagon (HxGN) imagery made available through State of California Department of Technology Agreement. Since some services provided by HxGN include multiple sets of imagery, this layer will help users determine where the sets are located geographically. To create this layer, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife subsetted seamline layers provided by Hexagon. This extent layer has no access constraints but per the Agreement, the imagery has the following constraints: "The following entities shall be allowed unlimited access licenses to the imagery provided under this contract: 2.1. All State Government Agencies, Public Entities, and Regents-level institutions including all University of California and California State University institutes. 2.2. All County-level governments. 2.3. All Municipal (city) governments. 2.4. All Public Safety Answering Points. 2.5. Any subcontractor or organization holding an active contract to conduct work on behalf of the entities identified in 2.1 through 2.4 above. 2.6. All federal or state recognized tribal organizations." Seamline layers with dates for the imagery are [available via separate download here].
CAL VTP Treatable Landscape

Appropriate areas within which to implement vegetation treatments as part of the CalVTP were identified by dividing the SRA into vegetation types from the California Wildlife Habitat Relationship (CWHR) system. Certain vegetation types were excluded because their wildfire risks are negligible (e.g., wet meadow, estuarine). Agricultural vegetation types were also excluded because this land is generally outside the SRA. Using this method, 20.3 million acres within the 31 million-acre SRA were identified that may be appropriate for vegetation treatments as part of the CalVTP. Throughout this PEIR, this area is called “treatable landscape” or "treatable areas". The proposed target of 250,000 annual acres of treatment would occur within the 20.3 million acres of treatable landscape. It is important to note that the treatable landscape represents areas suitable for CalVTP vegetation treatments, but projects will not necessarily occur in every location within the treatable landscape. The location and geographic extent of projects will be determined based on several factors, including environmental constraints and treatment objectives. Appendix PD-1 in the Draft PEIR provides a description of Treatable Landscape Modeling. Download the Draft CalVTP Draft PEIR here:: [Final Program Environmental Impact Report for the California Vegetation Treatment Program] This is a hosted tile layer with an associated tile layer package. This data represents treatable areas areas to be used in the CalVTP PEIR. The data is viewed in the "California State VTP EIR Treatable Areas - Web Map" which feeds into the "California Vegetation Treatment Program PEIR - Web App".
Cal VTP Proposed Projects Public View

This feature service contains proposed projects under the California Vegetation Treatment Program (CalVTP). This is to facilitate an open process for evaluating projects. The (CalVTP), developed by the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (Board), is a critical component of the state’s multi-faceted strategy to address California’s wildfire crisis. The CalVTP defines the vegetation treatment activities and associated environmental protections to reduce the risk of loss of lives and property, reduce fire suppression costs, restore ecosystems, and protect natural resources as well as other assets at risk from wildfire. The CalVTP supports the use of prescribed burning, mechanical treatments, hand crews, herbicides, and prescribed herbivory as tools to reduce hazardous vegetation around communities in the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), to construct fuel breaks, and to restore healthy ecological fire regimes. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) has the primary responsibility for implementing proposed CalVTP vegetation treatments, though many local, regional, and state agencies could also employ the CalVTP to implement vegetation treatments if their projects are within the scope of the CalVTP (see Final PEIR, Chapter 2, Program Description). The CalVTP will allow CAL FIRE, along with other agency partners, to expand their vegetation treatment activities to treat up to approximately 250,000 acres per year, contributing to the target of 500,000 annual acres of treatment on non-federal lands as expressed in Executive Order (EO) B-52-18. For more information, visit the [CalVTP Homepage and Storymap].

Partnerships and Consolidations

This layer has been created by consolidation reports tracked in the State Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS), by the SAFER units. Partnerships Layer Fields: * Regulating Agency - The agency responsible for regulating the system(s) involved. * County - The principal county served by the identified system. * System ID - The Public Water System ID (PWSID) of the inactivated or consolidated system, an identifier assigned by the state. * System Name - Name of the inactivated or consolidated system. * System Type - State classification of a system. Options include Non Public (NP), Non Community (NC), Non-Transient Non Community (NTNC), Transient Non-Community (TNC). Due to unrelated data practices, the classification is sometimes changed to Non Public after a system is inactivated. Therefore systems with an NP State Type may have previously been classified as a public system. * Connections - Number of physical connections to a water systems distribution infrastructure. * Population - Number of persons served by a water system. * Activity Date - The date a system actually began receiving water from the receiving/consolidating system, or became active as a new partnership. * Receiving System ID - The PWSID of the consolidating, now active system, an identifier assigned by the state. * Violations or Issues - Reasons identified by SAFER or the regulatory unit that caused a partnership or consolidation. * Notes - A created field used to capture information for unique or notable water system and domestic well partnerships. * Weblink - The link to a success story hosted on the State Water Boards website, if applicable. * Partnership Type - A categorization created by the SAFER unit to identify the type of partnership event. Options include; Domestic Wells Consolidation, Managerial Consolidation, Mandatory Consolidation, Mandatory Consolidation Resolved to Voluntarily Consolidate, Regionalization (multi-system consolidations), and Voluntary Consolidation. Data Notes: * Tracking of consolidations and partnerships began in 2016, so there may be some consolidations or partnership stories that have not been fully capture in the dataset. * The point locations of the water systems were created using a geocoder and based on the physical location of the water system as saved in SDWIS. When no physical location data was provided by SDWIS records, locations were researched using other water system records, public records, or the geocoder default based on a zipcode. * The layer is updated biannually.
