ODFW Framework Fish Habitat Distribution Data Development

April 29, 2015

Project Objectives

• Leverage recent migration to the NHD• Improve Framework Fish Habitat Distribution

(FHD) Data to:– Maintain data currency– Refine data accuracy– Fill gaps– Maximize data utility– Advance integration between sources– Meet the needs of more end users

Project Staff

• Jon Bowers, OFDW GIS Coordinator (lead)• Erin Gilbert, ODFW Assistant Monitoring

Coordinator • Ruth Schellbach, ODFW GIS Technician • Jay Stevens, BLM GIS Specialist • Clara Dair, USDA Forest Service Data

Standardization Team Lead

Project Scope

• Reconcile current FHD data with ODFW monitoring sample frames

• Update FHD Basis attribution• Integrate data from BLM, USFS and improve

maintenance workflows• Edit the NHD to fully support FHD data

Relationship to Oregon Framework

• Improve existing Framework FHD data• Develop new FHD data• Inform updates to Framework fish passage

barrier data• Update Framework hydrography (NHD)

Expected Benefits

• fish passage improvement planning including net benefit analyses

• fish conservation and recovery planning • habitat restoration and reporting • fish population monitoring • designating Endangered Species Act critical habitat • designating state defined Essential Salmonid Habitat • transportation planning • water quality standards enforcement and • water rights planning

Methodology

• FHD Data Standard and Data Management Plan will be applied

• Four separate project components

Sample Frame Reconciliation (#1)

• Overlay analysis incl. “bulk” processing.

• Review unique cases.

• Conduct extensive QA.

FHD Basis Attribution Updates (#2)

• Develop models for network tracing• Initiate from cases of DocObsFish• Update Basis (and Reference) attribution for

qualifying opinion-bases records• Basis Example

Interagency Data Integration (#3)

• Coordinate to align database schemas• Conduct overlay analyses to reconcile

between databases• Manual data review / processing• Establish maintenance workflows, either

through versions or web services• Data reconciliation example

FHD / BLM (ARIMS) Comparison

NHD Updates (#4)

• Utilize NHD Editor Tools• Follow NHD update protocols• Job check out, edit, QA, check-in• Create / update Flowlines to support FHD data• Synchronize FHD events with the NHD
