Description:
Abstract:
The North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and
Natural Resources, Division of Marine Fisheries in cooperation with the
North Carolina Center for Geographic Information and Analysis developed
the digital GIS data set, Anadromous Fish Spawning Areas, to enhance planning,
siting, and impact analysis in areas directly affecting the fish-spawning
in areas for fish who swim upstream to spawn. The arc data identifies
locations of these sites in North Carolina.
Purpose:
This data was created to assist governmental agencies and
others  in making resource management decisions through the use of a
Geographic Information System (GIS).
Supplemental_Information:
Extents of spawning areas change based on numerous impactive
measures.  One such measure is the removal of impediments
(small dams) which allow increased migration, opening additional
spawning areas.

>3.) filename: afsa1298  The December 1998 update to this layer
>consisted of projecting the data from NAD27 datum, State Plane
>projection, units of measure feet TO: NAD83 DATUM, State Plane
>PROJECTION, UNITS OF MEASURE METERS.  This was done to comply with
>the NC Geographic Information Coordinating Council's "Statement of
>Direction for North Carolina Corporate Geographic Database
>Horizontal Reference, Datum and Unit of Measure".  This reprojecting
>was done in various ways depending on the data type and content.
>Vector data was projected using the 'project' command in ESRI's Arc
>software and topology was cleaned and built based on coverage needs.
>Raster data was projected using ESRI's Grid module and various steps
>as applicable.
>2.) filename: afsa995  The September 11, 1995 update included:
>a.) A  section was added to Kehukee Swamp (upstream to White Millpond
>dam) affecting the Roanoke 100k quad.
>b.) A section was added to Contentnea Creek (upstream to Wiggins Mill
>dam) affecting the Rocky Mount 100k quad.
>c.) A section was added to the Cape Fear River (upstream to US-401
>bridge at Lillington) affecting the Fayetteville and
>Elizabethtown 100 k quads.
>d.) A section was added to the Upper Chowan River tributaries affecting
>the Norfolk 100k quad.
>e.) A section was added to the main stem portion of White Oak River
>above the NC-24 bridge and to a main stem portion of New River
>above the NC-172 bridge affecting the New River 100k quad.
>1.) filename: afsa1092  The original version was data October 1992.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The NCDEHNR-DMF delineated the spawning area boundaries onto
1:100,000-scale topo maps.  These areas were then digitally
selected from the 1:100,000-scale hydrography layer and copied
into a new layer. Arc/Info's version 5.0 Arcedit module was
used to select the linework and copy it into the new coverage.
There are no user-generated attribute values, look-up tables,
annotation or cartosets for this data.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Using ESRI's Arc/Info software, the data set was cleaned for
arcs with a dangle distance of 10 feet and a fuzzy distance
of 1 foot. Topology has not been edited since the last build
or clean.
Completeness_Report:
These data represent the known locations of Anadromous Fish
Spawning Areas, as known by the DMF.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Site locations were marked on 1:100,000-scale USGS
topographic maps which match National Map Accuracy
Standards, using a best estimate with reference to
surrounding features. Using 100,000-scale USGS digital
line graphs, the hydrographic linework, representing
the hydrographic features of the waterbodies know to be
spawning areas for anadromous fish, based on the DMF
delineations, was copied from the digital line graph
files into a separate coverage.  The present linework
shown represents the dlg version, with possible minor
cartographic corrections.

Process_Description:
The Anadromous Fish Spawning Areas were handdrawn
by NC DEHNR-Div. of Marine Fisheries staff onto 15
coastal 1:100,000-scale topo maps.  The areas marked
had been identified by their sampling from 1971 to
1992. Spawning in Lake Mattamuskeet was shown by the
Ph.D. dissertation by Tyus (1971) at NCSU and the
Newport River area is based on sampling by NMFS.
