U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) 20060210 Vector Digital Data Set (Polygon) Federal Register (71 FR 7118), February 10, 2006 http://ecos.fws.gov/docs/crithab/zip/FCH_Branchinecta_longiantenna_20050811.zip https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Data/BIOS These data identify, in general, the areas where final critical habitat for Longhorn fairy shrimp (Branchinecta longiantenna), a vernal pool crustacean, occur. Critical habitat are areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers the importance of these areas to the conservation of this species. Special protections and/or restrictions are possible in areas where federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required. Longhorn fairy shrimp is one of the 15 vernal pool species: Butte County meadowfoam (Limnanthes floccosa ssp. californica), Colusa grass (Neostapfia colusana), Conservancy fairy shrimp (Branchinecta conservatio), Contra Costa goldfields (Lasthenia conjugens), Greene's tuctoria (Tuctoria greenei), hairy orcutt grass (Orcuttia pilosa), Hoover's spurge (Chamaesyce hooveri), longhorn fairy shrimp (Branchinecta longiantenna), Sacramento Orcutt grass (Orcuttia viscida), San Joaquin Valley Orcutt grass (Orcuttia inaequalis), slender Orcutt grass (Orcuttia tenuis), Solano grass (Tuctoria mucronata), succulent owl's-clover (Castilleja campestris ssp. succulenta), vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi), and vernal pool tadpole shrimp (Lepidurus packardi). 20060210 publication date Complete As needed -121.705457 -119.876712 37.825335 35.251598 ISO 19115 Topic Categories biota environment None Final Rule Critical habitat Longhorn fairy shrimp U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Branchinecta longiantenna vernal pool None Merced County San Luis Obispo County Alameda County California Contra Costa County CA None Disclaimer: The State makes no claims, promises, or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or adequacy of these data and expressly disclaims liability for errors and omissions in these data.

Inherent in any data set used to develop graphical representations, are limitations of accuracy as determined by, among others, the source, scale and resolution of the data.

In addition, the USFWS shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of the data described and/or contained herein. Graphical representations provided by the use of this data do not represent a legal description of the critical habitat boundary. The user is referred to the critical habitat textual description in the appropriate final rule for this species as published in the Federal Register. These data are to be used only in the context of the definition and purpose of critical habitat. This primarily relates to Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act.

This data is believed to be logically consistent though no tests were performed. Contains the critical habitat polygons as described in the Federal Register; no generalization was performed and no data was intentionally omitted. Polyline and polygon item values were checked by the analyst against the source material for omissions and correctness. A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has either not been conducted, or is not applicable. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 20050101 hardcopy 20050101 publication date 70FR46924 Used as a reference to define boundaries of critical habitat. Process Description: We (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists) identified the critical habitat areas by using many spatial data layers derived from a variety of Federal, State, and local agencies, and from private organizations and individuals. We identified the general vernal pool areas on which to focus our critical habitat designations based on discussions with local species experts and information in our files. To identify where vernal pool species and habitats occur we evaluated GIS data of vernal pool habitats by Holland (1998 and 2002), and species occurrences information from the 2001 California Natural Diversity Database (CNDDB 2001), University of California Riverside species database (UCR 2000), USFWS species occurrence database 2002, and unpublished species occurrence data in our files. We superimposed the vernal pool habitats with the species occurrence data over satellite images (Systeme Probatoire, d'Observation de la Terre [SPOT imagery], CNES/SPOT Image Corporation 1993-2000), and over 1-meter digital ortho-rectified photography in southern California (Emerge Corporation 2001). The use of SPOT imagery allowed us to identify landmarks such as roads, cities, rivers, and urban areas. Because of limitations of the Holland data and SPOT imagery on accurately identifying the extent of the vernal pool areas, we were required to refine the area boundaries based on additional GIS data layers. When necessary and available we used data which included soils information from the Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) databases (U.S. Department of Agriculture [USDA] 1998-2001), and the California State Soil Geographic (STATSGO) databases (USDA 1994). We used geologic and landform information developed by the California Department of Mines and Geology (CDMG, 2000) and Liss (2001). To identify the extent of flat or gently sloping topography where vernal pools are found we evaluated Digital Elevation Models from the U.S. Geologic Survey (2000). We also used a number of local GIS data sets for specific areas, including information developed through the Riverside Multiple Species HCP, Riverside County Flood Control (2002), and the Vernal Pools of Southern California Final Recovery Plan (Service 1998), habitat mapping for Butte County (EPA 1994), Tehama County (2001), Shasta County (2001), Placer County (Glazner 2001), Solano County (2000), Yolo County (1995), Sacramento County (1999), and San Joaquin County (2000) in California, and by the Rogue Valley Council of Governments in Oregon (Evans 2000). Other smaller scale mapping efforts were reviewed from Solano County Farmlands and Open Space (2000) and East Bay Regional Parks District (2001). The specific layers used and the methodology employed for each unit is described within the unit descriptions which are published in the Federal Register. The economic re-analysis projected economic impact that would result from designating critical habitat within the proposed units. Areas of vernal pool critical habitat falling within the twenty three Census 2000 tracts identified as having the greatest economic Surplus Lost were eliminated.. Final critical habitat legal descriptions were derived directly from the ArcGIS shapefile sketch properties table, listing the x and y coordinates of each polygon representing final critical habitat. 20060101 Vector GT-polygon composed of chains 4 NAD 1983 California Teale Albers 34.0 40.5 -120.0 0.0 0.0 -4000000.0 coordinate pair 0.0001 0.0001 meter D North American 1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 ds260 Table containing attribute information associated with the data set.
