This packaged data collection contains two sets of two additional model runs that used the same inputs and parameters as our primary model, with the exception being we implemented a "maximum corridor length" constraint that allowed us to identify and visualize the corridors as being well-connected (≤15km) or moderately connected (≤45km). This is based on an assumption that corridors longer than 45km are too long to sufficiently accommodate dispersal. One of these sets is based on a maximum corridor length that uses Euclidean (straight-line) distance, while the other set is based on a maximum corridor length that uses cost-weighted distance. These two sets of corridors can be compared against the full set of corridors from our primary model to identify the remaining corridors, which could be considered poorly connected. This package includes the following data layers: Corridors classified as well connected (≤15km) based on Cost-weighted Distance Corridors classified as moderately connected (≤45km) based on Cost-weighted Distance Corridors classified as well connected (≤15km) based on Euclidean Distance Corridors classified as moderately connected (≤45km) based on Euclidean Distance Please refer to the embedded metadata and the information in our full report for details on the development of these data layers. Packaged data are available in two formats: Geodatabase (.gdb): A related set of file geodatabase rasters and feature classes, packaged in an ESRI file geodatabase. ArcGIS Pro Map Package (.mpkx): The same data included in the geodatabase, presented as fully-symbolized layers in a map. Note that you must have ArcGIS Pro version 2.0 or greater to view. See Cross-References for links to individual datasets, which can be downloaded in raster GeoTIFF (.tif) format.

The way to access Layers Quickly.

Quick Layers is an Add-In for ArcGIS Pro 3 that allows rapid access to the DNR's Geospatial Data Resource Site (GDRS). The GDRS is a data structure that serves core geospatial dataset and applications for not only DNR, but many state agencies, and supports the Minnesota Geospatial Commons. Data added from Quick Layers is pre-symbolized, helping to standardize visualization and map production. Current version: 3.11

To use Quick Layers with the GDRS, there's no need to download QuickLayers from this location. Instead, download a full copy or a custom subset of the public GDRS (including Quick Layers for ArcGIS Pro 3) using GDRS Manager.

Quick Layers also allows users to save and share their own pre-symbolized layers, thus increasing efficiency and consistency across the enterprise.

Installation:

After using GDRS Manager to create a GDRS, including Quick Layers, add the path to the Quick Layers addin to the list of shared folders:
1. Open ArcGIS Pro
2. Project -> Add-In Manager -> Options
3. Click add folder, and enter the location of the Quick Layers Pro app. For example, if your GDRS is mapped to the V drive, the path would be V:\gdrs\apps\pub\us_mn_state_dnr\quick_layers_pro3
4. After you do this, the Quick Layers ribbon will be available. To also add Quick Layers to the Quick Access Toolbar at the top, right click Quick Layers, and select Add to Quick Access Toolbar

The link below is only for those who are using Quick Layers without a GDRS. To get the most functionality out of Quick Layers, don't install it separately, but instead download it as part of a GDRS build using GDRS Manager.

This abstract contains links to public ArcGIS maps that include locations of carbonate springs and some of their characteristics. Information for accessing and navigating through the maps are included in a PowerPoint presentation IN THE FILE UPLOAD SECTION BELOW. Three separate data sets are included in the maps:

1. Geochemistry data from the US Water Quality Portal (WQP), which compiles geochemistry data from the USGS and other federal agencies.
2. Discharge data from WoKaS, a world wide spring discharge data set (Olarinoye et al., 2020).
3. Regional karst data from selected US state agencies.

Several base maps are included in the links. The US carbonate map describes and categorizes carbonates (e.g., depth from surface, overlying geology/ice, climate). The carbonate springs map categorizes springs as being urban, specifically within 1000 ft of a road, or rural. The basis for this categorization was that the heat island effect defines urban as within a 1000 ft of a road. There are other methods for defining urban versus rural to consider. Map links and details of the information they contain are listed below.

Map set 1: The WQP map provides three mapping options separated by the parameters available at each spring site. These maps summarize discrete water quality samples, but not data logger availability. Information at each spring provides links for where users can explore further data.

Option 1: WQP data with urban and rural springs labeled, with highlight of springs with or without NWIS data https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=2ce914ec01f14c20b58146f5d9702d8a

Options 2: WQP data by major ions and a few other solutes https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=5a114d2ce24c473ca07ef9625cd834b8

Option 3:WQP data by various carbon species https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=ae406f1bdcd14f78881905c5e0915b96

Map 2: The worldwide carbonate map in the WoKaS data set (citation below) includes a description of carbonate purity and distribution of urban and rural springs, for which discharge data are available: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=5ab43fdb2b784acf8bef85b61d0ebcbe.

The Alternative Fuel Corridors dataset was created in 2016 and was updated on January 16, 2025 with new Round 8 designations from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The dataset is a highway layer of corridors, primarily along the NHS, that are designated as Corridor Ready or Corridor Pending. It includes designations of five types of alternative fuels, Electric Vehicle Charging (EV), Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Propane (LPG), and Hydrogen. Corridor-ready segments currently contain a sufficient number of fueling facilities to allow for corridor travel with the designated alternative fuel, and to qualify for highway signage. Corridors that do not have sufficient alternative fuel facilities to support alternative fuel vehicle travel are designated as corridor pending.

The Alternative GWPC layer is to be used when evaluating the Alternative GWPC provision, section 22a-133k-3(d)(2) of the RSRs, amended on February 16, 2021. This layer represents the GA groundwater classification area where an Alternative GWPC could be eligible if a groundwater plume is located in the designated Alternative Groundwater Protection Criteria area and all other requirements of 22a-133k-3(d)(2) have been satisfied. The layer provides more flexibility in achieving groundwater compliance in areas with no current or future drinking water use.

All of Florida's surface waters are classified according to designated uses (Classes I-V). Water quality criteria that support the classes (and therefore, uses) apply uniformly to all waters within the state that have the same classification. Florida recognizes that with the variety of waters found here and a broad approach to them, there may be situations where a generally applicable statewide criterion may not be appropriate for a waterbody or portion of a waterbody. A Site Specific Alternative Criterion, or SSAC, is a water quality criterion developed for a particular waterbody or segment of a waterbody that is designed to more accurately reflect site specific conditions. Criteria, including site specific criteria, are one of the components of Florida?s surface water quality standards, and are intended to protect designated and existing uses of the state waters. Development of an approvable site specific criterion is dependent on a demonstration that the different water quality criterion is more appropriate for the waterbody than the one normally used for the classification. A SSAC recognizes and accounts for the specific needs of the biological community native to the waterbody to make sure they are fully protected. When approved, a SSAC is used instead of (or sometimes in conjunction with) the surface water criterion that applies to the waters for that classification. This data layer should be used on conjunction with the surface water classification data layers (poly and line).

A common approach to simplify a problem with numerous objectives is to combine the cost layers into a composite a priori weighted single-objective raster grid. This dissertation examines new methods used for determining a spatially diverse set of near-optimal alternatives, and develops parallel computing techniques for brute-force near-optimal path enumeration, as well as more elegant methods that take advantage of the hierarchical structure of the underlying path-tree computation to select sets of spatially diverse near optimal paths.

The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) was authorized by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) in 2012 and has been continued by the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, through federal fiscal year 2020. Eligible project activities for TAP funding include a variety of smaller-scale transportation projects such as pedestrian and bicycle facilities, recreational trails, safe routes to school projects, and community improvements such as historic preservation, vegetation management, and some environmental mitigation related to storm water and habitat connectivity. Detailed information about Iowa’s TAP program may be found in the Iowa TAP Program Guidance. Additional information may be found in the program implementation guidance provided by the FHWA.

Iowa’s TAP program can be accessed in several ways. Statewide and multi-regional projects should apply directly to the Iowa DOT by October 1 annually for consideration in the Statewide TAP program. Access to smaller, local projects is dependent on geographic location and Iowa DOT endeavors to award projects based largely on geographic equity and local/regional priorities. Iowa’s small Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Regional Planning Affiliations will conduct an initial review of applications submitted for the competitive Local Projects TAP program administered by Iowa DOT. The large Metropolitan Planning Organizations (pop. greater than 200,000) will solicit and select project for TAP funding according to a process they determine. The map below will provide application submittal deadlines based on the project location.
