James Spinymussel Focus Area (Previous Version)

This federally listed endangered species extant range is Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina with the majority occurring in Virginia. Our goal is to further the recovery of this species through protection/restoration of habitat and improvement to water quality. The boundaries were defined by the intersection of the 8-digit HUCs and the counties where the species is known to occur; VDGIF and Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Natural Heritage (VDCR-DNH) databases were used to delineate known species occurrences.

Counties overlapping SFSR watershed

This dataset shows the counties that overlap the South Fork Shenandoah watershed to provide context for the locations of DuPont Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) restoration projects. The dataset was created as a geographic representation and should not be used for legal purposes or to show precise locations. It was created from U.S. Census [data] (tlgdb_2018_a_51_va.gdb).
SALS_Tool_final_patch_ranks_MARCH2020_in_FWSApproved

This tool identifies the suite of patches with potential to support Saltmarsh Sparrows in the near and long term within the FWS Approved boundaries. The patches are ranked according to a formula that assesses the relative importance of a variety of factors known to positively or negatively influence Saltmarsh Sparrow populations (see Influence Factors tab). Patches in darker green colors are assumed to provide higher quality habitat than patches in lighter green colors and indicate important areas to focus conservation attention. This prioritization does not factor current density or abundance of Saltmarsh Sparrows into the results. Rather, it ranks patches according to their suitability to provide high quality Sparrow habitat according to expert opinion. This app includes This map shows tidal complexes that have been identified as “Resilient Migration Space” by The Nature Conservancy. Complexes with resilience scores of Average or above (e.g., “Slightly Above Average,” “Above Average,” “Far Above Average”) for the 3.0-ft. and 6-ft. sea level rise scenarios are displayed along with a protected areas layer. If a migration space unit was associated with more than one tidal complex, the highest resilience score was assigned. Click for areas for more information.

USFWS Exposure-Zone Maps for Bald and Golden Eagles (19 Aug 2020)

Wind energy projects that pose a low risk to eagles are activities sited in areas where eagle abundance is known to be low. We defined low-exposure zones as areas where abundance is below a defined threshold such that: (1) we can confidently predict that eagles will be infrequently exposed to wind turbines in the area; and (2) Stage 2 (site-specific in-field) eagle use surveys are unlikely to yield information useful in generating a fatality prediction for the wind energy project. Although our focus is on low-exposure for wind energy projects, the general concept applies to other activities that may incidentally take eagles as well. Proposed wind energy projects that meet the low risk criteria have the option of skipping the required 2 years of site-specific surveys, and will be able to implement a simplified post-construction fatality monitoring protocol focused on confirming the low-risk characterization of the site. Operating wind energy projects that meet low-risk criteria that wish to obtain an eagle incidental take permit may also take advantage of aspects of the low-risk permit approach to expedite permitting. The low-exposure zone is indicated in green, non low-exposure in purple. Abundance thresholds were determined separately for bald and golden eagles, and maps are provided for each threshold combination we considered. Combinations include: bald eagle / golden eagle products at 20/30, 50/30, and 80/30 quantiles; and individual BAEA maps for the 20, 50, and 80th quantiles.
Healthy Streams, Farm Stewardship Program

In July 2017, a Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) settlement was approved by the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. The NRDAR trustees, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Commonwealth of Virginia, are working to fund and complete restoration projects that will benefit the same types of natural resources that were injured for the future enjoyment of the community. This dataset shows the general locations of DuPont NRDAR restoration projects related to the Healthy Streams, Farm Stewardship Program, targeting riparian areas along the South River, Middle River, and Christians Creek. The dataset was created as a geographic representation to indicate general location of pending and ongoing projects. This dataset should not be used for legal purposes or to show precise locations. The dataset was created to allow interested public to view potential restoration locations and as a way for the Trustees to share status updates for ongoing projects as they progress or change. It is a graphical representation and has limitations of accuracy. It was created from the National Hydrography Dataset (more information below). The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Local resolution NHD is being developed where partners and data exist. The NHD contains reach codes for networked features, flow direction, names, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined on waterbodies and the approximate shorelines of the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria established by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.
James Spinymussel Focus Area

This federally listed endangered species’ extant range is Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina with the majority occurring in Virginia. Our goal is to further the recovery of this species through protection/restoration of habitat and improvement to water quality. A number of non-governmental organizations, as well as state and local agencies, are interested in recovery of the species and enhancing water quality and habitat. We will support our partners to ensure completion of ongoing life history studies and focus on riparian and stream restoration, barrier removal (restore connectivity), livestock exclusion from streams, livestock watering and shelters, trapping of mammalian predators, and other projects that will improve or protect James spinymussel populations and its habitat. We will support modeling efforts to refine potential habitat, work with our partners to engage in outreach, and support survey, propagation, and augmentation efforts for this species.
Rappahannock River Valley NWR Focus Area

This area contains 100+ priority migratory bird species, several fisheries species of conservation concern, several federally listed species, and species of concern. The Rappahannock River is a spawning and nursery area for striped bass (Morone saxatilis), American shad (Alosa sapidissima), blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis), and alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus). It is also an important nursery area for American eel (Anguilla rostrata). Our goal is to assess the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals to fish and aquatic dependent and piscivorus species, such as bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) and wading birds, in support of the NWR. The priority area was mapped based upon NWR acquisition boundaries:   http://www.fws.gov/northeast/rappahannock/maps/Refuge_Ownership_Map.pdf.
