Summary

Description

The Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) has performed a coastal survey along the Pacific coast of OR in 2010. The data types collected include bathymetry and topographic lidar point data, true color imagery and hyperspectral imagery. The collection effort follows the coastline and extends 500m inland and 1000m offshore or to laser extinction, whichever comes first. Topographic lidar is collected with 200% coverage, yielding a nominal 1m x 1m post-spacing. Where water conditions permit, the bathymetry lidar data will have a nominal post spacing of 4m x 4m. The true color imagery will have a pixel size approximately 35cm and the hyperspectral imagery will be provided in 1m pixels containing 36 bands between 375 - 1050 nm with 19 nm bandwidth. The final data will be tied to horizontal positions, provided in decimal degrees of latitude and longitude, and are referenced to the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83). Vertical positions are referenced to the NAD83 ellipsoid and provided in meters. The National Geodetic Survey's (NGS) GEOID03 model is used to transform the vertical positions from ellipsoid to orthometric heights referenced to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88).

Four objectives have been established for the woodland management program for Sherburne NWR. These objectives are in compliance with and support the overall management objectives of the Refuge. The woodland management objectives are in descending order of priority: 1 to provide and enhance woodland habitat for waterfowl maintenance and production with emphasis on managing for species requiring special nesting habitat; 2 to restore and maintain native forest communities and wildlife; 3 to provide and maintain woodland habitat for wildlife diversity; including habitat for plant and wildlife species threatened or endangered through land management practices under other ownerships; and 4 to provide the public with woodland related opportunities for recreation; interpretation and environmental education when compatible with wildlife resource objectives.

Summary

Description

This data set consists of digital polygons of a constant recharge value for the alluvial and terrace deposits along the North Canadian River from Oklahoma City to Eufaula Lake in east-central Oklahoma. Ground water in 710 square miles of Quaternary-age alluvial and terrace deposits along the North Canadian River is an important source of water for irrigation, industrial, municipal, stock, and domestic supplies. The aquifer, composed of alluvial and terrace deposits, consists of sand, silt, clay, and gravel. The aquifer is underlain and in hydraulic connection with the upper zone of the Permian-age Garber-Wellington aquifer and the Pennsylvanian-age Ada-Vamoosa aquifer. Some of the polygon boundaries were digitized from a published ground-water modeling report about the aquifer and some lines were extracted from published digital geology data sets. Recharge was estimated to range from 1.7 inches per year in the west to 7.0 inches per year in the east, with an average of 3.3 inches per year in the published ground-water modeling report. The recharge values used as input to the ground-water flow model were not published and were not available from any other source. Therefore, the alluvial and terrace deposits were assigned the average recharge value of 3.3 inches per year in this data set. Ground-water flow models are numerical representations that simplify and aggregate natural systems. Models are not unique; different combinations of aquifer characteristics may produce similar results. Therefore, values of recharge used in the model and presented in this data set are not precise, but are within a reasonable range when compared to independently collected data.

Summary

Description

This 199293 Annual Migratory Waterfowl Hunting Program outlines the reasons and regulations for migratory waterfowl hunting on Parker River National Wildlife Refuge. Populations of migratory waterfowl on the refuge during State designated hunting seasons are of sufficient numbers that there is a harvestable surplus. Refuge hunting areas are sufficiently segregated from high general public use areas to eliminate conflicts with nonhunting visitors. Permits are required, hunters must use and possess shells containing only steel shot, and hunters may not use or possess more than 25 shells per day.

This plan establishes guidelines for the cooperative management of Aleutian geese Branta hutchinsii leucopareia in the Pacific Flyway. This subspecies recently was assigned to a new species hutchinsii called the cackling goose separate from the canadensis Canada goose AOU 2004; see below. To avoid confusion with previous population names, we use the common name Aleutian goose and refer to B. h. minima as cackling goose in this plan.

Summary

Description

This data set consists of digitized polygons of constant recharge values for the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer, in east-central Oklahoma. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is an important source of water that underlies about 2,320-square miles of parts of Osage, Pawnee, Payne, Creek, Lincoln, Okfuskee, and Seminole Counties. Approximately 75 percent of the water withdrawn from the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is for municipal use. Rural domestic use and water for stock animals account for most of the remaining water withdrawn. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is defined in a ground-water report as consisting principally of the rocks of the Late Pennsylvanian-age Vamoosa Formation and overlying Ada Group. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer consists of a complex sequence of fine- to very fine-grained sandstone, siltstone, shale, and conglomerate interbedded with very thin limestones. The water-yielding capabilities of the aquifer are generally controlled by lateral and vertical distribution of the sandstone beds and their physical characteristics. The Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is unconfined where it outcrops in about an 1,700-square-mile area. The recharge rate of the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer was estimated as 1.52 inches per year from base-flow measurements and precipitation records published in a ground-water report. Most of the recharge polygons were extracted from published digital geology data sets. The lines in the digital geology data sets were scanned or digitized from maps published at a scale of 1:250,000 and represent geologic contacts. Some of the lines in the data set were interpolated in areas where the Vamoosa-Ada aquifer is overlain by alluvial and terrace deposits near streams and rivers.
