Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

Approximate extents of Stratford, Duralie and the proposed Rocky Rill coal mine operation in the Gloucester sub-region. These were digitised from map images taken from various reports with permission.

Purpose

Features used as map context for BA report maps.

Dataset History

Map images from various reports showing existing and proposed mine extents of Stratford, Duralie and Rocky Hill. These were georectified to MGA 56 geotiffs using recognised features of know location in the various map images as control points (eg road junctions, corners of administrative boundaries etc).

Selected features shown on the map were manually digitised off the computer screen using this georectified map as a backdrop. Features were saved as ESRI shapefiles in the MGA z56 projection.

The source images are also included in this dataset.

This dataset is intended for researchers, students, and policy makers for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production, or to provide a basemap to support graphical overlays and analysis with other spatial data.

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from the Subcatchment boundaries within and nearby the Gloucester subregion dataset. The source dataset is identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

The dataset is a shapefile consisting of a poly line feature indicating the surface water divide within the valley that makes up the Gloucester subregion. Surface water north of this divide flows north into the Gloucester River system and surface water south of the divide flows south into the Karuah river systerm. Used for cartographic purposes only.

This line is a generalisation of the the section of the boundary between the Manning (incl Gloucester) and Karuah River catchments as depicted in the River Regions layer (see lineage). Differs from version 2 in that the line had to be extended eastward to account for the relocated eastern boundary when adopting the gloucester AE boundary for mapping, where v02 only extended to the PAE boundary.

Dataset History

This line was digitised off the screen using the 9 sec DEM derived catchment layer as a back drop. The line polyline was drawn freehand tracing a generalised and more aesthetically pleasing line based on the "sawtooth" boundary depicted in source catchment data. The extent is confined to the Gloucester valley.

Abstract

The dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme from multiple source datasets. The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.This dataset includes subcatchments relevant to the Gloucester subregion. Subcatchments are connected to inflows or outflows to and from the Gloucester subregion.

Extracted from the geofabric catchments:

The Geofabric Surface Cartography product provides a set of related feature classes to be used as the basis for the production of consistent hydrological cartographic maps. This product contains a geometric representation of the (major) surface water features of Australia (excluding external territories). Primarily, these are natural surface hydrology features but the product also contains some man-made features (notably reservoirs, canals and other hydrographic features).

The product is fully topologically correct which means that all the stream segments flow in the correct direction.

This product contains fifteen feature types including: Waterbody, Mapped Stream, Mapped Node, Mapped Connectivity (Upstream), Mapped Connectivity (Downstream), Sea, Estuary, Dam, Structure, Canal Line, Water Pipeline, Terrain Break Line, Hydro Point, Hydro Line and Hydro Area.

Purpose

Used for surface water modelling

This product contains a geometric representation of the (major) surface water features of 'geographic Australia' excluding external territories. It is intended to be used as the basis for the production of consistent hydrological cartographic map products, as well as the visualisation of surface hydrology within a GIS to support the selection of features for inclusion in cartographic map production.

Dataset History

These subcatchments were aggregated using the AHGF (Geofabric) catchments

AHGFContractedCatchments were aggregated into the GLO subcatchments based on their contribution to selected rivers as depicted in the GEODATA 250K. The reference river network is from Watercourse lines.

Geofabric Surface Cartography is part of a suite of Geofabric products produced by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. The source data input for the Geofabric Surface Cartography product is the AusHydro v1.7.2 (AusHydro) surface hydrology data set. The AusHydro database provides a seamless surface hydrology layer for Australia at a nominal scale of 1:250,000. It consists of lines, points and polygons representing natural and man-made features such as watercourses, lakes, dams and other water bodies. The natural watercourse layer consists of a linear network with a consistent topology of links and nodes that provide directional flow paths through the network for hydrological analysis.

This network was used to produce the GEODATA 9 Second Digital Elevation Model (DEM-9S) Version 3 of Australia

Geofabric Surface Cartography is an amalgamation of two primary datasets. The first is the hydrographic component of the GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3 (GEODATA 3) product released by Geoscience Australia (GA) in 2006. The GEODATA 3 dataset contains the following hydrographic features: canal lines, locks, rapid lines, spillways, waterfall points, bores, canal areas, flats, lakes, pondage areas, rapid areas, reservoirs, springs, watercourse areas, waterholes, water points, marine hazard areas, marine hazard points and foreshore flats.

It also provides information on naming, hierarchy and perenniality. The dataset also contains cultural and transport features that may intersect with hydrographic features. These include: railway tunnels, rail crossings, railway bridges, road tunnels, road bridges, road crossings, water pipelines.

Abstract

This dataset includes the current boundary data required for the bioregional assessment impact analysis for the Gloucester subregion. These data are (1) the current Preliminary Assessment Extent (PAE), (2) the Analysis Extent (AE) and (3) the Analysis Domain Extent (ADE).

The PAE is defined and explained in the BA submethodology (1.3 Description of the water-dependent asset register) and, specifically for the Gloucester subregion in product 1.3 Water-dependent asset register for the Gloucester subregion. The Analysis Extent (AE) is defined as the geographic area that encompasses all the possible areas that may be reported as part of the impact analysis component of a bioregional assessment, specifically, the subregion boundary, the PAE and the relevant groundwater and surface water model domains. For Gloucester, the AE consists of the PAE boundary plus some minor extensions to include the alluvium groundwater model domain, particularly adjacent to the Duralie mine. The Analysis Domain Extent (ADE) is defined as the geographic area used for geoprocessing and data preparation purposes that encompasses the Analysis Extent plus additional areas sufficient to ensure all relevant data is included for the impact analysis component of a bioregional assessment. For Gloucester, at least an additional 1.5 km was added to the AE boundary and, in places further extensions were required to include all of the groundwater model domain.

All data are in the Australian Albers coordinate system (EPSG 3577).

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset is to provide the boundaries needed for the impact analysis component of the BA.

Dataset History

This dataset includes the current boundary data required for the bioregional assessment impact analysis for the Gloucester subregion. These data are (1) the current Preliminary Assessment Extent (PAE), (2) the Analysis Extent (AE) and (3) the Analysis Domain Extent (ADE). All data were transformed to the Australian Albers coordinate system (EPSG 3577).

The PAE is defined and explained in the BA submethodology (1.3 Description of the water-dependent asset register) and, specifically for the Gloucester subregion in product 1.3 Water-dependent asset register for the Gloucester subregion. For Gloucester, the original PAE contained a 'hole' in the southern end. For the purposes of the impact analysis, this 'hole' has been removed. Due to this change, it is possible that there may be water-related assets in the location of the 'hole' that were not included in the asset database and asset register. This should be noted in any assessment reports.

The Analysis Extent (AE) is defined as the geographic area that encompasses all the possible areas that may be reported as part of the impact analysis component of a bioregional assessment, specifically, the subregion boundary, the PAE and the relevant groundwater and surface water model domains. For Gloucester, the AE consists of the PAE boundary plus some minor extensions to include the alluvium groundwater model domain, particularly adjacent to the Duralie mine. Due to these extensions, it is possible that there may be water-related assets in the location of the extensions that were not included in the asset database and asset register. This should be noted in any assessment reports.

The Analysis Domain Extent (ADE) is defined as the geographic area used for geoprocessing and data preparation purposes that encompasses the Analysis Extent plus additional areas sufficient to ensure all relevant data is included for the impact analysis component of a bioregional assessment. For Gloucester, at least an additional 1.5 km was added to the AE boundary and, in places further extensions were required to include all of the groundwater model domain.

This parcels dataset is a spatial representation of tax lots for Gloucester County, New Jersey that have been extracted from the NJ statewide parcels composite by the NJ Office of Information Technology, Office of GIS (NJOGIS). Parcels at county boundaries have been modified to correspond with the NJ county boundaries and the parcels in adjacent counties.Each parcel contains a field named PAMS_PIN based on a concatenation of the county/municipality code, block number, lot number and qualification code. Using the PAMS_PIN, the dataset can be joined to the MOD-IV database table that contains supplementary attribute information regarding lot ownership and characteristics. Due to irregularities in the data development process, duplicate PAMS_PIN values exist in the parcel records. Users should avoid joining MOD-IV database table records to all parcel records with duplicate PAMS_PINs because of uncertainty regarding whether the MOD-IV records will join to the correct parcel records. There are also parcel records with unique PAMS_PIN values for which there are no corresponding records in the MOD-IV database tables. This is mostly due to the way data are organized in the MOD-IV database.The polygons delineated in the dataset do not represent legal boundaries and should not be used to provide a legal determination of land ownership. Parcels are not survey data and should not be used as such.The MOD-IV system provides for uniform preparation, maintenance, presentation and storage of property tax information required by the Constitution of the State of New Jersey, New Jersey Statutes and rules promulgated by the Director of the Division of Taxation. MOD-IV maintains and updates all assessment records and produces all statutorily required tax lists for property tax bills. This list accounts for all parcels of real property as delineated and identified on each municipality's official tax map, as well as taxable values and descriptive data for each parcel. Tax List records were received as raw data from the Taxation Team of NJOIT which collected source information from municipal tax assessors and created the statewide table. This table was subsequently processed for ease of use with NJ tax parcel spatial data and split into an individual table for each county.***NOTE*** For users who incorporate NJOGIS services into web maps and/or web applications, please sign up for the NJ Geospatial Forum discussion listserv for early notification of service changes.

The source datasets are identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement. This dataset includes files for catchment boundaries and SILO cell percentages. The catchment boundaries were delineated using 1 sec Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) dataset with gauge locations as pour points. Catchments were then intersected with SILO climate cells for use in gridded AWRA hydrological modelling. The new boundaries are better then those delineated using the Bureau of Meteorology's (BOM) Geofabric for all catchments, except for the catchment 209003 where a flaw in the SRTM derived flowpath excluded a valley when compared with the Geofabric. This catchment was manually edited to conform with the Geofabric representation of 209003. The grid cell percentage was calculated for all 5km resolution SILO grid cells located within each catchment. The percentage information is used for gridded AWRA hydrological modelling and for weighting average for estimating streamflow aggregated at each gauge outlet. Purpose This dataset is intermediate, delineated using 1-sec SRTM DEM dataset, and is used for AWRA hydrological modelling. Dataset History A point feature dataset was created from the gauge location spreadsheet. This was compared with SRTM 1 sec derived flow accumulation and ArcMap Basemap imagery and point features manually snapped to the SRTM flowpaths reperesenting the river names in the gauge name. Contributing catchment rasters were then generated using the ArcGIS 10.1 Spatial Analyst Tool "WATERSHED with snapped gauge location pour points and the SRTM derived flow direction grid as inputs. Resultant catchment rasters were then exported as shapefiles and compared with the coarser Geofabric catchments. All but one catchment conformed in extent. SRTM derived catchment for gauge 209003 excluded a large flat valley (when compared to with the geogfabric due to a misdirected flowpath. This was manually corrected. Catchment shapefiles were then intersected with BILO Climate model cells to obtain 1) percentage of cell in the catchment and 2) proportion of catchment made up by the cell. Both these determinations were based on intersected areas calculated on the Albers equal area projection. These cell to catchments ratios were then exported to database file (dbf).

grassland density 10 - 60% woodland density 5 - 60% arable density 0 - 50%

These suitable habitat features have been given a score of ‘1’.

Soil Type - Sand has been given a score of ‘-1’.

Urban areas greater than 2ha (+400m buffer), roads (7.5m), rivers (7.5m) and Environment Agency Flood Zone 2 have been excluded.

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. The Topological Faces / Area Hydrography Relationship File (FACESAH.dbf) contains a record for each face / area hydrography feature relationship. Face refers to the areal (polygon) topological primitives that make up MTDB. A face is bounded by one or more edges; its boundary includes only the edges that separate it from other faces, not any interior edges contained within the area of the face. The face to which a record in the Topological Faces / Area Hydrography Relationship File (FACESAH.dbf) applies can be determined by linking to the Topological Faces Shapefile (FACES.shp) using the permanent topological face identifier (TFID) attribute. The area hydrography feature to which a record in the Topological Faces / Area Hydrography Relationship File (FACESAH.dbf) applies can be determined by linking to the Area Hydrography Shapefile (AREAWATER.shp) using the area hydrography identifier (HYDROID) attribute. A face may be part of multiple area water features. An area water feature may consist of multiple faces.
