Description:
Abstract:
The Army National Guard undertook an initiative in Fiscal Years 1998 and 1999 to conduct and update planning level wetlands surveys on selected training sites across the country. The initiative was centrally funded at the National Guard Bureau in Arlington, Virginia. Surveys were conducted by teams from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Research and Development Center in Vicksburg, Mississippi. In January of 2000 the project was extended through Fiscal Year 2000. Products from the survey included both digital and paper map depictions of waters of the United States, including wetlands, that occurred at each of the sites surveyed.
Purpose:
To provide the National Guard Bureau with a current and accurate delineation of wetlands and other regulated waters for Pelham Range, Alabama in both digital and hard copy format. The data is intended to be used to assist land managers in making informed decisions regarding any actions or activities that could impact these natural resources.
This data set portrays the site characterization points referenced in the summary report and on the final wetland delineation map.
Supplemental Information:
Wetlands and WoUS were identified using a planning-level delineation approach that adjusts the methods outlined in the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and 33 CFR 328 for application at watershed scale. This delineation approach allows for the identification of different types of regulated wetlands and WoUS suitable for use in project planning, it does not serve as a substitute for the on-site jurisdictional delineation that is normally conducted as part of Section 404 permit review process.
The sample and observation points lists collected in the field with a Trimble Pro XR GPS were delivered to the GIS personnel. The Trimble Pro XR is a 12 channel Global Positioning System. These positions are accurate to about 12 meters CEP. CEP means that 50% of the positions are within a horizontal circle within a radius equal to the specified value. The points were formatted for import into Arc/Info as a points coverage with the following projection information: UTM Zone 16, Units meters, Datum NAD83, Spheroid GRS80. The new coverage had two items added, pt_typ and pt_num. These two items store the point types and point number for reference to the site description in the summary report. The points Arc/Info coverage was then projected to: UTM, Zone 16, Units meters, Datum WGS84. Both projections of the points coverages were then converted to ArcView shape files using the Arc command; arcshape.
