Soil map units are the basic geographic unit of the Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO). The SSURGO dataset is a compilation of soils information collected over the last century by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Map units delineate the extent of different soils. Data for each map unit contains descriptions of the soil’s components, productivity, unique properties, and suitability interpretations.Each soil type has a unique combination of physical, chemical, nutrient and moisture properties. Soil type has ramifications for engineering and construction activities, natural hazards such as landslides, agricultural productivity, the distribution of native plant and animal life and hydrologic and other physical processes. Soil types in the context of climate and terrain can be used as a general indicator of engineering constraints, agriculture suitability, biological productivity and the natural distribution of plants and animals. Data from the gSSURGO databasewas used to create this layer.

Wetlands are areas where water is present at or near the surface of the soil during at least part of the year. Wetlands provide habitat for many species of plants and animals that are adapted to living in wet habitats. Wetlands form characteristic soils, absorb pollutants and excess nutrients from aquatic systems, help buffer the effects of high flows, and recharge groundwater. Data on the distribution and type of wetland play an important role in land use planning and several federal and state laws require that wetlands be considered during the planning process.The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) was designed to assist land managers in wetland conservation efforts. The NWI is managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: WetlandsGeographic Extent: 50 United States plus Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana IslandsProjection: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereVisible Scale: This layer preforms well between scales of 1:1,000,000 to 1:1,000.

This dynamic World Elevation Terrain layer returns float values representing ground heights in meters and compiles multi-resolution data from many authoritative data providers from across the globe. Heights are orthometric (sea level = 0), and water bodies that are above sea level have approximated nominal water heights.Height units: MetersUpdate Frequency: QuarterlyCoverage: World/GlobalData Sources: This layer is compiled from a variety of best available sources from several data providers. To see the coverage and extents of various datasets comprising this service in an interactive map, see World Elevation Coverage Map.What can you do with this layer?Use for Visualization: This layer is generally not optimal for direct visualization. By default, 32 bit floating point values are returned, resulting in higher bandwidth requirements. Therefore, usage should be limited to applications requiring elevation data values. Alternatively, client applications can select from numerous additional functions, applied on the server, that return rendered data. For visualizations such as multi-directional hillshade, hillshade, elevation tinted hillshade, and slope, consider using the appropriate server-side function defined on this service.Use for Analysis: Yes. This layer provides data as floating point elevation values suitable for use in analysis. There is a limit of 5000 rows x 5000 columns.Note: This layer combine data from different sources and resamples the data dynamically to the requested projection, extent and pixel size. For analyses using ArcGIS Desktop, it is recommended to filter a dataset, specify the projection, extent and cell size using the Make Image Server Layer geoprocessing tool. The extent is factor of cell size and rows/columns limit. e.g. if cell size is 10 m, the extent for analysis would be less than 50,000 m x 50,000 m.Server Functions: This layer has server functions defined for the following elevation derivatives. In ArcGIS Pro, server function can be invoked from Layer Properties - Processing Templates.

Slope Degrees Slope Percent Aspect Ellipsoidal height Hillshade Multi-Directional Hillshade Dark Multi-Directional Hillshade Elevation Tinted Hillshade Slope Map Aspect Map Mosaic Method: This image service uses a default mosaic method of "By Attribute”, using Field 'Best' and target of 0. Each of the rasters has been attributed with ‘Best’ field value that is generally a function of the pixel size such that higher resolution datasets are displayed at higher priority. Other mosaic methods can be set, but care should be taken as the order of the rasters may change. Where required, queries can also be set to display only specific datasets such as only NED or the lock raster mosaic rule used to lock to a specific dataset.Accuracy: Accuracy will vary as a function of location and data source. Please refer to the metadata available in the layer, and follow the links to the original sources for further details. An estimate of CE90 and LE90 are included as attributes, where available.This layer allows query, identify, and export image requests. The layer is restricted to a 5,000 x 5,000 pixel limit in a single request.This layer is part of a larger collection of elevation layers that you can use to perform a variety of mapping analysis tasks.

The dataset has combined the Parcels and Computer-Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) data for 2023 into a single dataset. This dataset is designed to make it easier for stakeholders and the GIS community to use and access the information as a geospatial dataset. Included in this dataset are geometries for all 169 municipalities and attribution from the CAMA data for all but one municipality. Pursuant to Section 7-100l of the Connecticut General Statutes, each municipality is required to transmit a digital parcel file and an accompanying assessor’s database file (known as a CAMA report), to its respective regional council of governments (COG) by May 1 annually. These data were gathered from the CT municipalities by the COGs and then submitted to CT OPM. This dataset was created on 12/08/2023 from data collected in 2022-2023. Data was processed using Python scripts and ArcGIS Pro, ensuring standardization and integration of the data.CAMA Notes:The CAMA underwent several steps to standardize and consolidate the information. Python scripts were used to concatenate fields and create a unique identifier for each entry. The resulting dataset contains 1,353,595 entries and information on property assessments and other relevant attributes.CAMA was provided by the towns.Canaan parcels are viewable, but no additional information is available since no CAMA data was submitted.Spatial Data Notes:Data processing involved merging the parcels from different municipalities using ArcGIS Pro and Python.

Any other field provided in the original data was deleted or not used.Field names for town (Muni, Municipality) were renamed to "Town Name".

Coordinate system Update:

Notably, this dataset will be provided in NAD 83 Connecticut State Plane (2011) (EPSG 2234) projection, instead of WGS 1984 Web Mercator Auxiliary Sphere (EPSG 3857) which is the coordinate system of the 2023 dataset and will remain in Connecticut State Plane moving forward.

Ownership Suppression and Data Access:
The updated dataset now includes parcel data for all towns across the state, with some towns featuring fully suppressed ownership information. In these instances, the owner’s name will be replaced with the label "Current Owner," the co-owner’s name will be listed as "Current Co-Owner," and the mailing address will appear as the property address itself. For towns with suppressed ownership data, users should be aware that there was no "Suppression" field in the submission to verify specific details. This measure was implemented this year to help verify compliance with Suppression.

New Data Fields:
The new dataset introduces the "Land Acres" field, which will display the total acreage for each parcel. This additional field allows for more detailed analysis and better supports planning, zoning, and property valuation tasks. An important new addition is the FIPS code field, which provides the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) code for each parcel’s corresponding block. This allows users to easily identify which block the parcel is in.

Updated Service URL:
The new parcel service URL includes all the updates mentioned above, such as the improved coordinate system, new data fields, and additional geospatial information. Users are strongly encouraged to transition to the new service as soon as possible to ensure that their workflows remain uninterrupted. The URL for this service will remain persistent moving forward. Once you have transitioned to the new service, the URL will remain constant, ensuring long term stability.

For a limited time, the old service will continue to be available, but it will eventually be retired. Users should plan to switch to the new service well before this cutoff to avoid any disruptions in data access.

Hydric soils are soils that form under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part of the soil. Hydric soils are poorly or very poorly drained and under natural conditions, these soils are either saturated or inundated long enough during the growing season to support the growth and reproduction of wetland vegetation.

Wetlands are areas where water is present at or near the surface of the soil during at least part of the year. Wetlands provide habitat for many species of plants and animals that are adapted to living in wet habitats. Wetlands form characteristic soils, absorb pollutants and excess nutrients from aquatic systems, help buffer the effects of high flows, and recharge groundwater. Data on the distribution and type of wetland play an important role in land use planning and several federal and state laws require that wetlands be considered during the planning process.The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) was designed to assist land managers in wetland conservation efforts. The NWI is managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: WetlandsCoordinate System: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereExtent: 50 United States plus Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana IslandsVisible Scale: The data is visible at scales from 1:144,000 to 1:1,000Resolution/Tolerance: 0.0001 meters/0.001 metersNumber of Features: 34,954,623 diced, after applying a 50,000 vertex limit to an original set of 34,950,653 featuresFeature Limit: 10,000Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServicePublication Date: September 29, 2020ArcGIS Server URL: https://landscape11.arcgis.com/arcgis/This layer was created from the September 29, 2020 version of the NWI.

This service is available to all ArcGIS Online users with organizational accounts. For more information on this service, including the terms of use, visit us online at https://goto.arcgisonline.com/landscape11/USA_Soils_Drainage_Class.Soils vary widely in their ability to retain or drain water. The rate at which water drains into the soil has a direct effect on the amount and timing of runoff, what crops can be grown, and where wetlands form. In soils with low drainage rates water will pond on the soil's surface. Poorly drained soils are desirable when growing crops like rice where the fields are flooded for cultivation but other crops need better drained soils.Dataset SummaryPhenomenon Mapped: Drainage Class of SoilsUnits: ClassesCell Size: 30 metersSource Type: DiscretePixel Type: Unsigned integerData Coordinate System: USA Contiguous Albers Equal Area Conic USGS version (contiguous US, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands), WGS 1984 Albers (Alaska), Hawaii Albers Equal Area Conic (Hawaii), Western Pacific Albers Equal Area Conic (Guam, Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas Islands, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and American Samoa)Mosaic Projection: Web Mercator Auxiliary SphereExtent: Contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, US Virgin Islands, Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas Islands, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and American SamoaSource: Natural Resources Conservation ServicePublication Date: July 2020ArcGIS Server URL: https://landscape11.arcgis.com/arcgis/Data from the gNATSGO database was used to create the layer for the contiguous United States, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The remaining areas were created with the gSSURGO database (Hawaii, Guam, Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas Islands, Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, and American Samoa).This layer is derived from the 30m (contiguous U.S.) and 10m rasters (all other regions) produced by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The value for drainage class is derived from the gSSURGO map unit aggregated attribute table field Drainage Class - Dominant Condition (drclassdcd).The layer has an attribute field for Drainage Class and a description field for use in pop-ups. The eight values of drainage class with corresponding attribute table index value are defined by the NRCS Soil Survey Manual as:0. Excessively drained: Water is removed very rapidly. The occurrence of internal free water commonly is very rare or very deep. The soils are commonly coarse-textured and have very high hydraulic conductivity or are very shallow.1. Somewhat excessively drained: Water is removed from the soil rapidly. Internal free water occurrence commonly is very rare or very deep. The soils are commonly coarse-textured and have high saturated hydraulic conductivity or are very shallow.2. Well drained: Water is removed from the soil readily but not rapidly. Internal free water occurrence commonly is deep or very deep; annual duration is not specified. Water is available to plants throughout most of the growing season in humid regions. Wetness does not inhibit growth of roots for significant periods during most growing seasons. The soils are mainly free of the deep to redoximorphic features that are related to wetness.3. Moderately well drained: Water is removed from the soil somewhat slowly during some periods of the year. Internal free water occurrence commonly is moderately deep and transitory through permanent. The soils are wet for only a short time within the rooting depth during the growing season, but long enough that most mesophytic crops are affected. They commonly have a moderately low or lower saturated hydraulic conductivity in a layer within the upper 1 m, periodically receive high rainfall, or both.4. Somewhat poorly drained: Water is removed slowly so that the soil is wet at a shallow depth for significant periods during the growing season. The occurrence of internal free water commonly is shallow to moderately deep and transitory to permanent. Wetness markedly restricts the growth of mesophytic crops, unless artificial drainage is provided. The soils commonly have one or more of the following characteristics: low or very low saturated hydraulic conductivity, a high water table, additional water from seepage, or nearly continuous rainfall.5. Poorly drained: Water is removed so slowly that the soil is wet at shallow depths periodically during the growing season or remains wet for long periods. The occurrence of internal free water is shallow or very shallow and common or persistent. Free water is commonly at or near the surface long enough during the growing season so that most mesophytic crops cannot be grown, unless the soil is artificially drained. The soil, however, is not continuously wet directly below plow-depth. Free water at shallow depth is usually present. This water table is commonly the result of low or very low saturated hydraulic conductivity of nearly continuous rainfall, or of a combination of these.6. Very poorly drained: Water is removed from the soil so slowly that free water remains at or very near the ground surface during much of the growing season. The occurrence of internal free water is very shallow and persistent or permanent. Unless the soil is artificially drained, most mesophytic crops cannot be grown. The soils are commonly level or depressed and frequently ponded. If rainfall is high or nearly continuous, slope gradients may be greater.7. Subaqueous Soils: These soils are under the surface of a body of water. (There are only a few of these in the entire dataset.)What can you do with this Layer?

This World Elevation TopoBathy service combines topography (land elevation) and bathymetry (water depths) from various authoritative sources from across the globe. Heights are orthometric (sea level = 0), and bathymetric values are negative downward from sea level. The source data of land elevation in this service is same as in the Terrain layer. When possible, the water areas are represented by the best available bathymetry. Height/Depth units: MetersUpdate Frequency: QuarterlyCoverage: World/GlobalData Sources: This layer is compiled from a variety of best available sources from several data providers. To see the coverage and extents of various datasets comprising this service in an interactive map, see Elevation Coverage Map.What can you do with this layer?Use for Visualization: This layer is generally not optimal for direct visualization. By default, 32 bit floating point values are returned, resulting in higher bandwidth requirements. Therefore, usage should be limited to applications requiring elevation data values. Alternatively, client applications can select additional functions, applied on the server, that return rendered data. For visualizations such as hillshade or elevation tinted hillshade, consider using the appropriate server-side function defined on this service. Use for Analysis: Yes. This layer provides data as floating point elevation values suitable for use in analysis. There is a limit of 5000 rows x 5000 columns. NOTE: This image services combine data from different sources and resample the data dynamically to the requested projection, extent and pixel size. For analyses using ArcGIS Desktop, it is recommended to filter a dataset, specify the projection, extent and cell size using the Make Image Server Layer geoprocessing tool. The extent is factor of cell size and rows/columns limit. e.g. if cell size is 10 m, the max extent for analysis would be less than 50,000 m x 50,000 m.Server Functions: This layer has server functions defined for the following elevation derivatives. In ArcGIS Pro, server function can be invoked from Layer Properties - Processing Templates.

Slope Degrees Slope Percentage Hillshade Multi-Directional Hillshade Elevation Tinted HillshadeSlope MapMosaic Method: This image service uses a default mosaic method of "By Attribute”, using Field 'Best' and target of 0. Each of the rasters has been attributed with ‘Best’ field value that is generally a function of the pixel size such that higher resolution datasets are displayed at higher priority. Other mosaic methods can be set, but care should be taken as the order of the rasters may change. Where required, queries can also be set to display only specific datasets such as only NED or the lock raster mosaic rule used to lock to a specific dataset.Accuracy: Accuracy will vary as a function of location and data source. Please refer to the metadata available in the layer, and follow the links to the original sources for further details. An estimate of CE90 and LE90 is included as attributes, where available.This layer allows query, identify, and export image requests. The layer is restricted to a 5,000 x 5,000 pixel limit in a single request. This layer is part of a larger collection of elevation layers that you can use to perform a variety of mapping analysis tasks. Disclaimer: Bathymetry data sources are not to be used for navigation/safety at sea.

The SSURGO dataset is a compilation of soils information collected over the last century by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Map units delineate the extent of different soils. Data for each map unit contains descriptions of the soil’s components, productivity, unique properties, and suitability interpretations.Each soil type has a unique combination of physical, chemical, nutrient and moisture properties. Soil type has ramifications for engineering and construction activities, natural hazards such as landslides, agricultural productivity, the distribution of native plant and animal life and hydrologic and other physical processes. Soil types in the context of climate and terrain can be used as a general indicator of engineering constraints, agriculture suitability, biological productivity and the natural distribution of plants and animals.Dataset SummaryThe map packages were created from the October 2021 SSURGO snapshot. The dataset covers the 48 contiguous United States plus Hawaii and portions of Alaska. Map packages are available for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. A project package for US Island Territories and associated states of the Pacific Ocean can be downloaded by clicking one of the included areas in the map. The Pacific Project Package includes: Guam, the Marshall Islands, the Northern Marianas Islands, Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and American Samoa.Not all areas within SSURGO have completed soil surveys and many attributes have areas with no data. The soil data in the packages is also available as a feature layer in the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World.AttributesKey fields from nine commonly used SSURGO tables were compiled to create the 173 attribute fields in this layer. Some fields were joined directly to the SSURGO Map Unit polygon feature class while others required summarization and other processing to create a 1:1 relationship between the attributes and polygons prior to joining the tables.

Dataset Summary The map packages were created from the October 2023 SSURGO snapshot. The dataset covers the 48 contiguous United States plus Hawaii and portions of Alaska. Map packages are available for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. A project package for US Island Territories and associated states of the Pacific Ocean can be downloaded by clicking one of the included areas in the map. The Pacific Project Package includes: Guam, the Marshall Islands, the Northern Marianas Islands, Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia, and American Samoa. Not all areas within SSURGO have completed soil surveys and many attributes have areas with no data. The soil data in the packages is also available as a feature layer in the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World. AttributesKey fields from nine commonly used SSURGO tables were compiled to create the 173 attribute fields in this layer. Some fields were joined directly to the SSURGO Map Unit polygon feature class while others required summarization and other processing to create a 1:1 relationship between the attributes and polygons prior to joining the tables. Attributes of this layer are listed below in their order of occurrence in the attribute table and are organized by the SSURGO table they originated from and the processing methods used on them. Map Unit Polygon Feature Class Attribute TableThe fields in this table are from the attribute table of the Map Unit polygon feature class which provides the geographic extent of the map units.

To create a 1:1 join component data must be summarized by map unit. For these fields a custom script was used to select the component with the highest value for the Component Percentage Representative Value field (comppct_r). Ties were broken with the Slope Representative Value field (slope_r). Components with lower average slope were selected as dominant. If both soil order and slope were tied, the first value in the table was selected.

Because some map units have a null value for soil order, a custom script was used to populate this field using the Component Name (compname) and Map Unit Name (muname) fields. This field was created using the dominant soil order of each map unit. Esri Symbology Horizon TableEach map unit polygon has one or more components and each component has one or more layers known as horizons. To incorporate this field from the Horizon table into the attributes for this layer, a custom script was used to first calculate the mean value weighted by thickness of the horizon for each component and then a mean value of components weighted by the Component Percentage Representative Value field for each map unit.

The MIEJScreen overall score is made up of two sub scores (Environmental Conditions and Population Characteristics) which are further divided into four categories. There are two categories representing Environmental Conditions: Exposures and Environmental Effects, and two categories representing Population Characteristics: Sensitive Populations and Socioeconomic Factors. Each of the categories has a set of indicators that are scored for each census tract by its raw value, then assigned percentiles based on rank-order. Those percentile scores are averaged for each of the four categories (Exposures, Environmental Effects, Sensitive Populations, and Socioeconomic Factors). EGLE Methodology:Filtered each of the 26 MiEJScreen indicators that were greater than or equal to the 75th percentile.Exported out a Census tract layer for each of these indicatorsMerged all the indicators for a for each of the four MiEJScreen categories (Exposures, Environmental Effects, Sensitive Populations, and Socioeconomic Factors). Merged all four MiEJScreen categories to a single layerRan Summary Statistics ArcGIS Pro geoprocessing tool using the GEOID field and the Statistic Type of Count.There resulting output table of count of Census tracts indicators above the 75th percentile was joined to the Michigan 2010 Census tracts polygon layer using the GEOID field.This layer is symbolized on the COUNT_GEOID field. Note that this data is static and is not being maintained. It is used in the MiEJScreen, a screening tool that provides percentile scoring of various environmental, health, and socioeconomic indicators to measure relative environmental risk factors in communities. The percentile scores allow comparison on various factors that may contribute to disparities within a community and between communities but are not absolute values. This map does not model overall burden on communities, nor does it reflect the actual number of individuals affected by potential environmental risk factors. The map also does not model the positive or negative likelihood of an individual health outcome. It should not be used to diagnose a community health issue, label a community, or attribute risk factors and exposures for specific individuals. Additional analysis would be necessary to make decisions on health outcomes that may be associated with the environmental risk factors. This map is intended to be a dynamic, informative tool. MiEJScreen is not a decision-making tool. While certain data from the tool may be used as allowed by law to inform decisions, such as community engagement, data from the tool, by itself, does not determine the existence or absence of environmental justice concerns in a given location or provide risk assessments.
