The data have been summarized from habitat unit level data collected by DFG from July 1993 into September of 1997. The database represents salmonid stream habitat surveys from 57 streams. Approximately 216 miles of streams were surveyed. The database helps identify and describe in-stream habitat available to anadromous salmonids within watersheds of the California San Francisco Bay, Central and South Coast Hydrologic Regions. Data were collected using standardized survey techniques according to the version of the "California Stream Habitat Restoration Manual" (see Flosi et al.) that was current in the year of survey. Field survey teams measured up to 60 parameters for selected habitat units. Stream surveys typically started at the downstream confluence and proceeded upstream to the "limit of anadromy" as assessed by the survey crew. WHAT EACH RECORD REPRESENTS Each of the 100 records in this dataset represents in-stream habitat unit level data summarized at the stream reach level. A habitat unit is the base level for the stream habitat surveys and is generally determined by the occurrence of riffle, run and pool sections along the stream. Stream reaches are determined by changes in stream channel type as described by Rosgen (1994). This database helps identify and describe instream habitat available to anadromous salmonids within the surveyed streams. The database is designed for use in conjunction with biological inventories and adult salmonid escapement surveys conducted later in the same year. The data were collected by Department of Fish and Game primarily to: 1) provide a useful source of information for evaluating, designing and monitoring stream habitat improvements for salmonids based on critical fish habitat needs and 2) aid in internal management decisions regarding stream restoration projects and potential. DATA LIMITATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS For analytical purposes, users should assume that data collection methods were similar enough between streams, years, and observers to allow comparison of relative values. Observer bias is presumed to be low to non-existent. Reach-level in-stream habitat data are designed for suitability assessment of salmonid habitat at local levels. They should not be used for large watershed-level assessment tasks as assessment at this level would require either complete stream sampling or a statistically derived sample design providing for assignment of measured parameters, within acceptable error limits, on a watershed-wide basis. In addition, the shapefile comprising these data is a visual representation of the data and have not been calibrated to existing stream data from U.S. Geological Survey quadrangle maps. Therefore, spatial errors should be expected. KNOWN CAVEATS OF THE DATA: A significant scaling error often occurs in these data. Some of this error could be from mapping fine-scale ground measurements to a coarser map scale. The average in-stream habitat unit is approximately 55 feet (17 m) long while 1:24,000 scale maps may be accurate to the nearest 90 feet (30 m). In most cases, distances measured at a fine scale will exceed measurements at a course scale (Mandelbrot, 1982). Due to this and other error sources, habitat units for some streams may not be accurately placed on the map. Uncertainty of this mapped habitat unit precision increases with distance upstream. In many cases, the scaling error caused the length of the stream as measured during surveys to exceed the apparent stream length mapped on 1:24,000 scale digital hydrography. In these instances, a scaling factor was applied automatically by the NCNCR 'Stream Habitat' application (contact Karen Wilson, KLWilson@dfg.ca.gov, for information on this program). Even after application of the scaling factor, instances of the length discrepancy exceeding 1000 feet were found in the data where the surveys covered several miles. During processing of the files in the application, a "log file" is created that records errors or problems in each file. The folder containing the log files can be searched using the term "A scaling factor is needed" to rapidly locate these files. Habitat conditions can change drastically both from year to year and within a season. Factors to consider when comparing between years or seasons include variable stream flows (especially flood events), temperatures and silt loads. Use caution when analyzing these data with other time-dependent data such as stream biological inventories and salmon carcass surveys. Streams of the California San Francisco Bay, Central and South Coast Hydrologic Regions (Calwater 2.2.1) were surveyed. In the San Francisco Bay Region, watersheds of the Napa River and Sonoma Creek in Napa and Sonoma counties respectively were surveyed. In the Central Coast Region, San Gregorio Creek and tributaries were surveyed in San Mateo County. Streams including tributaries surveyed in Santa Cruz County were: San Lorenzo River and Waddel, Scott, San Vicente, Soquel, and Aptos Creeks. This dataset consists of data collected in 1993, 1995, 1996 and 1997. The collection period ranged from June into October. DATA COMPILATION HISTORY The background describing development of salmonid stream habitat restoration projects and data is described in Flosi et al. (1998). A long-term decline in salmon and steelhead fisheries led to growing private and public interest in restoring salmonid stream habitat. By the late 1980's the department was leading major efforts in this area including development of this dataset. During the middle 1990's, Michael Byrne of DFG compiled these data and created routed hydrography using USGS 1:100,000 scale digital line graph hydrography and Arc Macro Language procedures to establish flow direction. Preliminary results and a detailed description of the process were published in a paper presented at the 1996 ESRI Users Conference (Michael Byrne, 1996). In the report he stated that "From Oregon to Sonoma County, 290 salmonid spawning streams (766 miles of stream) have been surveyed and georeferenced using this protocol". The work continued, but was not completed, especially in terms of editing for data quality. SPATIAL DATA CAPTURE METHODS: Initially, these files were in dBase IV (*.dbf) format. They had been processed using "HABITAT", a Department of Fish and Game DOS based program for entering, summarizing and analyzing data. The files have now been processed through an updated Visual Basic version of the "HABITAT" (NCNCR Stream Habitat, Version 2.0.11) and consolidated into one shapefile. Line events were routed in ArcGIS 9.2 using a 1:100,000 routed hydrography developed by California Department of Fish and Game in conjunction with the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission. The consolidated unit level file (not including South coast) contains 12,373 records and the reach summary file contains 100 records. The current data processing efforts are by Ron Rogers and Marcia Scavone of DFG's Biogeographic Data Branch with programming assistance from Karen Wilson of NCNCR. DFG employees and cooperators (such as Americorps and California Conservation Corps) who collected the data in the field are included in the records.

However, both spatial and content errors are possible and should be expected. The most common error, present on every stream, is spatial location. Fine-scale habitat data were collected on the ground and habitat units measured in the middle of the stream. In contrast, routing was conducted on 1:24,000 scale stream line work hand-digitized from U.S.G.S. 1:24,000 scale maps. Therefore, the location of any habitat unit will not match locations on the ground. Other commonly encountered errors include data range (e.g. percentages exceeding 100), data entry, and data processing. 1:24,000 routed hydrography Vector String 129 Custom 34.0 40.5 -120.0 0.0 0.0 -4000000.0 coordinate pair 0.000000003754707655900803 0.000000003754707655900803 meter D North American 1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 ds159 PCT_DECID Percent of total canopy cover contributed by deciduous trees.

California Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual, 1998. StrmAlias Stream names for tributaries not named on 24k USGS quad maps. Streams not named on the quad maps, even if named and well-known locally, can be difficult to locate in GIS. The name in this field will be either a locally-known name or a name constructed from 24k hydrography. The constructed name begins with the name of the stream that the unnamed tributary flows into (receiving stream). An "LB" or "RB" is added to the name if the unnamed tributary enters from the left bank or right bank, respectively, looking downstream. The distance in feet from the most downstream point (mouth) of the named stream to the confluence with the unnamed tributary completes the name (e.g. East Austin Creek RB 54730). For a series of unnamed tributaries, each new stream, working upstream, is assigned an "LB" or "RB" designation plus the distance from the confluence to the mouth of the receiving stream. For example "East Austin Creek RB 54730 RB 1334" is an East Austin Creek unnamed tributary entering from the right bank 54,730 feet from the mouth of East Austin Creek. In turn, that tributary has an unnamed tributary entering from the right bank 1,334 feet from its confluence with East Austin Creek. California Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual, 1998.
