U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceIn July 2017, a Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) settlement was approved by the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. The NRDAR trustees, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Commonwealth of Virginia, are working to fund and complete restoration projects that will benefit the same types of natural resources that were injured for the future enjoyment of the community. This dataset shows the general locations of DuPont NRDAR restoration projects related to the Healthy Streams, Farm Stewardship Program, targeting riparian areas along the South River, Middle River, and Christians Creek. The dataset was created as a geographic representation to indicate general location of pending and ongoing projects. This dataset should not be used for legal purposes or to show precise locations. The dataset was created to allow interested public to view potential restoration locations and as a way for the Trustees to share status updates for ongoing projects as they progress or change. It is a graphical representation and has limitations of accuracy. It was created from the National Hydrography Dataset (more information below). The National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) is a feature-based database that interconnects and uniquely identifies the stream segments or reaches that make up the nation's surface water drainage system. NHD data was originally developed at 1:100,000-scale and exists at that scale for the whole country. This high-resolution NHD, generally developed at 1:24,000/1:12,000 scale, adds detail to the original 1:100,000-scale NHD. (Data for Alaska, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands was developed at high-resolution, not 1:100,000 scale.) Local resolution NHD is being developed where partners and data exist. The NHD contains reach codes for networked features, flow direction, names, and centerline representations for areal water bodies. Reaches are also defined on waterbodies and the approximate shorelines of the Great Lakes, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf of Mexico. The NHD also incorporates the National Spatial Data Infrastructure framework criteria established by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.ArcGIS FeatureLayerhttps://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/49ff11bdecd445a0b513a8d78a92f681_0engU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Open DataPublicHealthy Streams, Farm Stewardship Program [United States]Web servicesUnited StatesLast Modified: 2020-04-28
