Description:
Abstract:
NC DENR-Division of Environmental Health, Environmental Health
Services Section, Shellfish Sanitation Branch in cooperation with the
NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis, developed the digital
Conditionally Approved Shellfish Harvesting Areas data to enhance
planning, siting and impact analysis in areas directly affecting
these areas.  This file enables users to identify the areas which are
conditionally approved open or closed for shellfish harvesting due
to significant rainfall events. This data covers the southeastern
coast of North Carolina.
Purpose:
This data was created to assist governmental agencies and
others in making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic
Information System (GIS).

>reconstructing all of the conditionally approved shellfish harvesting
>areas using the 1:24,000 hydrography by river basin data which should
>provide greater accuracy than the shoreline previously used. This
>shoreline data is based on USGS 1:24,000-scale linework. There were
>also various enlargements, reductions and reclassifications of existing
>areas.  The data were provided by the Shellfish Sanitation Branch
>of DENR. The following arc attributes were also added: major and
>minor USGS dlg linework codes and the stream name, river basin,
>DWQ index number, DWQ class, and DWQ classification date information
>from the Division of Water Quality stream classification codes.
>1.) filename: casha1198  This was the first version of this data.
>These areas were delineated using the shoreline file compiled from
>USGS 1:24,000-scale quad linework for the closed shellfish harvesting
>areas data.  This version of the shoreline (CGIA shoreline, 24k) is
>not a complete representation of the linework on the quadrangles.
>The data was released in 83, stateplane, meters.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Coordinate readings in degrees-minutes-seconds for closure lines
were taken and then transferred onto various NOAA nautical charts
by the Shellfish Sanitation Branch.  The nautical charts were
photo-copied and then distributed to CGIA for digital automation.
After automation, check plots at 1:24,000 scale were run for QA/QC
purposes.  Staff at Shellfish Sanitation Branch either verified or
made corrections to the checkplots.  Those corrections were then
entered into the digital file.  This digital file is updated and
changes occur.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the dataset was built for
polygon topology using the "build" command.  The data set was
then cleaned with a fuzzy tolerance of (1 foot.)  Topology
has not been edited since the last build or clean.
Completeness_Report:
These data represent the locations of Conditionally Approved Shellfish Harvesting
Areas in North Carolina as delineated by NC DENR - Division of
Environmental Health, Environmental Health Services Section, Shellfish
Sanitation Branch.  Each area is labeled as having either conditionally open
or conditionally closed status or being non-water.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Closed Shellfish Harvesting Areas were generated by coordinates
given to CGIA from the Shellfish Sanitation Branch. After the
closure line was generated, it may have been extended or shortened
to meet the appropriate shoreline file.  This method gave CGIA the
best estimate with reference to surrounding features.

Process_Description:
A backcover of the USGS 1:24,000-scale hydrography was used to give
a reference for determining part of the boundary for the closure
polygons.  The coordinates supplied by Shellfish Sanitation Branch to
CGIA were then projected from degrees-minutes-seconds into NC state
plane coordinates using the Arc PROJECT command.  Those new coordinates
were entered into the digital file using Arc/Info's Arcedit module and
the coordinate keyboard ADD command.  Adjustments were made to the
shape of the generated closure line due to inexact positioning of the
shoreline.  Part of the closure arcs shared by the shoreline file were
copied from the shoreline coverage to create closed polygons.  The
resulting coverage was built for topology and labeled to indicate
those polygons that were conditionally approved open or closed, or
were merely islands within.  Checkplots were created at the
1:24,000-scale and then reviewed by Shellfish Sanitation staff
for accuracy. Edits were made and a complete coverage was established
which undergoes  periodic updates as areas open or closed by pollution.

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
A polygon coverage depicting areas classified by the NC DENR-Div
of Environmental Health, Environmental Health Services Section,
Shellfish Sanitation Branch as being either open or closed to shellfish
harvesting.  The polygon attribute table (PAT) has attribute data
including  total area in coverage units (square meters), total perimeter
(linear meters), polygon internal identification number, polygon user
identification number, and a code number indicating its open or closed
status.
