Summary

Critical habitat are areas considered essential for the conservation of a listed species. These areas provide notice to the public and land managers the importance of these areas to the conservation of this species. It does not afford any special protection or restriction other than where federal funding, permits, licenses, authorizations, or actions occur or are required.

Description

These data identify the areas (in general) where critical habitat for Braunton's milk-vetch occurs. Critical habitat for the species consists of approximately 3,300 acres among six units distributed in three general areas: eastern Ventura County, east-central Los Angeles County, and northeastern Orange County, California.

Data quality report - Completeness omission
Measure description
Topologically clean. Polygon ties end to end to completely enclose the area. No duplicate features exist nor duplicate points in a data string. All nodes are prepresented by a single coordinate pair which indicates the beginning or end of a line segment.

Data quality report - Quantitative attribute accuracy
Measure description
Data attributes follow the US Fish and Wildlife Service Critical Habitat Spatial Data Specifications. These data contain a subset of the USFWS standard attributes as selected by the Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office based on the number and spatial conformation of the included polygons. Attribute accuracy was inspected manually but no automated tests were performed.


Evaluation method
Visually inspected to insure all attributes are present and appropriately populated.

Lineage

Process step
When the process occurred 2006-01-01
Description
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists identified critical habitat areas by using spatial data layers acquired from the State of California Natural Heritage Program's Natural Diversity Data Base, USDA's National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP), and plant occurence data from private individuals. In order to define when patches were within a single population and include areas likely to support a seed bank, we conducted a nearest neighbor analysis using all available mapped occurrences. We determined the distance from the centroid of each mapped occurrence or patch to the centroid of the nearest mapped occurrence. The average distance between patch centroids within populations was 935 ft (285 m). To encompass contiguous areas of adjacent habitat that is likely to contain a seed bank we then buffered the mapped occurrence polygons by 285 meters. Polygons created by this method were connected if they were within 1,968 feet (600 m) based upon minimum flight distance data for insect pollenators of the species. The resulting polygons were edited manually to remove existing development, roads, landscaping, or other areas unlikely to contain the primary constituent elements of critical habitat. This editing step was accomplished by overlaying the initial polgyon boundaries on aerial imagery (NAIP, 2005). Edited polyon boundaries were modified in ArcMap with the "generalize" command (2 meter maximum allowable offset) to decrease the number of vertices defining a polygon boundary. The x,y coordinate pairs defining the vertices of the "generalized" polygons were further edited by rounding to whole meter values.
