The construction of this data model was adapted from the Telvent Miner & Miner ArcFM MultiSpeak data model to provide interface functionality with Milsoft Utility Solutions WindMil engineering analysis program. Database adaptations, GPS data collection, and all subsequent GIS processes were performed by Southern Geospatial Services for the Town of Apex Electric Utilities Division in accordance to the agreement set forth in the document "Town of Apex Electric Utilities GIS/GPS Project Proposal" dated March 10, 2008. Southern Geospatial Services disclaims all warranties with respect to data contained herein. Questions regarding data quality and accuracy should be directed to persons knowledgeable with the forementioned agreement.The data in this GIS with creation dates between March of 2008 and April of 2024 were generated by Southern Geospatial Services, PLLC (SGS). The original inventory was performed under the above detailed agreement with the Town of Apex (TOA). Following the original inventory, SGS performed maintenance projects to incorporate infrastructure expansion and modification into the GIS via annual service agreements with TOA. These maintenances continued through April of 2024.At the request of TOA, TOA initiated in house maintenance of the GIS following delivery of the final SGS maintenance project in April of 2024. GIS data created or modified after April of 2024 are not the product of SGS.With respect to SGS generated GIS data that are point features:GPS data collected after January 1, 2013 were surveyed using mapping grade or survey grade GPS equipment with real time differential correction undertaken via the NC Geodetic Surveys Real Time Network (VRS). GPS data collected prior to January 1, 2013 were surveyed using mapping grade GPS equipment without the use of VRS, with differential correction performed via post processing.With respect to SGS generated GIS data that are line features:Line data in the GIS for overhead conductors were digitized as straight lines between surveyed poles. Line data in the GIS for underground conductors were digitized between surveyed at grade electric utility equipment. The configurations and positions of the underground conductors are based on TOA provided plans. The underground conductors are diagrammatic and cannot be relied upon for the determination of the actual physical locations of underground conductors in the field.The Service Locations feature class was created by Southern Geospatial Services (SGS) from a shapefile of customer service locations generated by dataVoice International (DV) as part of their agreement with the Town of Apex (TOA) regarding the development and implemention of an Outage Management System (OMS).Point features in this feature class represent service locations (consumers of TOA electric services) by uniquely identifying the features with the same unique identifier as generated for a given service location in the TOA Customer Information System (CIS). This is also the mechanism by which the features are tied to the OMS. Features are physically located in the GIS based on CIS address in comparison to address information found in Wake County GIS property data (parcel data). Features are tied to the GIS electric connectivity model by identifying the parent feature (Upline Element) as the transformer that feeds a given service location.SGS was provided a shapefile of 17992 features from DV. Error potentially exists in this DV generated data for the service location features in terms of their assigned physical location, phase, and parent element.Regarding the physical location of the features, SGS had no part in physically locating the 17992 features as provided by DV and cannot ascertain the accuracy of the locations of the features without undertaking an analysis designed to verify or correct for error if it exists. SGS constructed the feature class and loaded the shapefile objects into the feature class and thus the features exist in the DV derived location. SGS understands that DV situated the features based on the address as found in the CIS. No features were verified as to the accuracy of their physical location when the data were originally loaded. It is the assumption of SGS that the locations of the vast majority of the service location features as provided by DV are in fact correct.SGS understands that as a general rule that DV situated residential features (individually or grouped) in the center of a parcel. SGS understands that for areas where multiple features may exist in a given parcel (such as commercial properties and mobile home parks) that DV situated features as either grouped in the center of the parcel or situated over buildings, structures, or other features identifiable in air photos. It appears that some features are also grouped in roads or other non addressed locations, likely near areas where they should physically be located, but that these features were not located in a final manner and are either grouped or strung out in a row in the general area of where DV may have expected they should exist.Regarding the parent and phase of the features, the potential for error is due to the "first order approximation" protocol employed by DV for assigning the attributes. With the features located as detailed above, SGS understands that DV identified the transformer closest to the service location (straight line distance) as its parent. Phase was assigned to the service location feature based on the phase of the parent transformer. SGS expects that this protocol correctly assigned parent (and phase) to a significant portion of the features, however this protocol will also obviously incorretly assign parent in many instances.To accurately identify parent for all 17992 service locations would require a significant GIS and field based project. SGS is willing to undertake a project of this magnitude at the discretion of TOA. In the meantime, SGS is maintaining (editing and adding to) this feature class as part of the ongoing GIS maintenance agreement that is in place between TOA and SGS. In lieu of a project designed to quality assess and correct for the data provided by DV, SGS will verify the locations of the features at the request of TOA via comparison of the unique identifier for a service location to the CIS address and Wake County parcel data address as issues arise with the OMS if SGS is directed to focus on select areas for verification by TOA. Additionally, as SGS adds features to this feature class, if error related to the phase and parent of an adjacent feature is uncovered during a maintenance, it will be corrected for as part of that maintenance.With respect to the additon of features moving forward, TOA will provide SGS with an export of CIS records for each SGS maintenance, SGS will tie new accounts to a physical location based on address, SGS will create a feature for the CIS account record in this feature class at the center of a parcel for a residential address or at the center of a parcel or over the correct (or approximately correct) location as determined via air photos or via TOA plans for commercial or other relevant areas, SGS will identify the parent of the service location as the actual transformer that feeds the service location, and SGS will identify the phase of the service address as the phase of it's parent.Service locations with an ObjectID of 1 through 17992 were originally physically located and attributed by DV.Service locations with an ObjectID of 17993 or higher were originally physically located and attributed by SGS.DV originated data are provided the Creation User attribute of DV, however if SGS has edited or verified any aspect of the feature, this attribute will be changed to SGS and a comment related to the edits will be provided in the SGS Edits Comments data field. SGS originated features will be provided the Creation User attribute of SGS. Reference the SGS Edits Comments attribute field Metadata for further information.

The data set for the Butler Peak quadrangle has been prepared by the Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP), a cooperative project sponsored jointly by the U.S. Geological Survey and the California Division of Mines and Geology, as part of an ongoing effort to utilize a Geographical Information System (GIS) format to create a regional digital geologic database for southern California. This regional database is being developed as a contribution to the National Geologic Map Data Base of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the USGS. Development of the data set for the Butler Peak quadrangle has also been supported by the U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest.

The digital geologic map database for the Butler Peak quadrangle has been created as a general-purpose data set that is applicable to other land-related investigations in the earth and biological sciences. For example, the U.S. Forest Service, San Bernardino National Forest, is using the database as part of a study of an endangered plant species that shows preference for particular rock type environments. The Butler Peak database is not suitable for site-specific geologic evaluations at scales greater than 1:24,000 (1 in = 2,000 ft).

This data set maps and describes the geology of the Butler Peak 7.5' quadrangle, San Bernardino County, California. Created using Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO software, the data base consists of the following items: (1) a map coverage showing geologic contacts and units,(2) a scanned topographic base at a scale of 1:24,000, and (3) attribute tables for geologic units (polygons), contacts (arcs), and site-specific data (points). In addition, the data set includes the following graphic and text products: (1) A PostScript graphic plot-file containing the geologic map on a 1:24,000 topographic base accompanied by a Description of Map Units (DMU), a Correlation of Map Units (CMU), and a key to point and line symbols; (2) PDF files of the DMU and CMU, and of this Readme, and (3) this metadata file.

The geologic map data base contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by detailed field observation and by interpretation of aerial photographs. The map was created by transferring lines from the aerial photographs to a 1:24,000 mylar orthophoto-quadrangle and then to a base-stable topographic map. This map was then scribed, and a .007 mil, right-reading, black line clear film made by contact photographic processes.The black line was scanned and auto-vectorized by Optronics Specialty Company, Northridge, CA. The non-attributed scan was imported into ARC/INFO, where the database was built. Within the database, geologic contacts are represented as lines (arcs), geologic units as polygons, and site-specific data as points. Polygon, arc, and point attribute tables (.pat, .aat, and .pat, respectively) uniquely identify each geologic datum and link it to other tables (.rel) that provide more detailed geologic information.

This dataset is a compilation of available oil and gas pipeline data and is maintained by BSEE. Pipelines are used to transport and monitor oil and/or gas from wells within the outer continental shelf (OCS) to resource collection locations. Currently, pipelines managed by BSEE are found in Gulf of Mexico and southern California waters.

Currently the following layers are available from this REST location:

OCS Drilling Platforms -Locations of structures at and beneath the water surface used for the purpose of exploration and resource extraction. Only platforms in federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) waters are included. A database of platforms and rigs is maintained by BSEE.

OCS Oil and Natural Gas Wells -Existing wells drilled for exploration or extraction of oil and/or gas products. Additional information includes the lease number, well name, spud date, the well class, surface area/block number, and statistics on well status summary. Only wells found in federal Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) waters are included. Wells information is updated daily. Additional files are available on well completions and well tests. A database of wells is maintained by BSEE.

OCS Oil & Gas Pipelines -This dataset is a compilation of available oil and gas pipeline data and is maintained by BSEE. Pipelines are used to transport and monitor oil and/or gas from wells within the outer continental shelf (OCS) to resource collection locations. Currently, pipelines managed by BSEE are found in Gulf of Mexico and southern California waters.

Unofficial State Lateral Boundaries - The approximate location of the boundary between two states seaward of the coastline and terminating at the Submerged Lands Act Boundary. Because most State boundary locations have not been officially described beyond the coast, are disputed between states or in some cases the coastal land boundary description is not available, these lines serve as an approximation that was used to determine a starting point for creation of BOEM’s OCS Administrative Boundaries. GIS files are not available for this layer due to its unofficial status.

BOEM OCS Administrative Boundaries - Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Administrative Boundaries Extending from the Submerged Lands Act Boundary seaward to the Limit of the United States OCS (The U.S. 200 nautical mile Limit, or other marine boundary)For additional details please see the January 3, 2006 Federal Register Notice.

BOEM Limit of OCSLA ‘8(g)’ zone - The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act '8(g) Zone' lies between the Submerged Lands Act (SLA) boundary line and a line projected 3 nautical miles seaward of the SLA boundary line. Within this zone, oil and gas revenues are shared with the coastal state(s). The official version of the ‘8(g)’ Boundaries can only be found on the BOEM Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) or Supplemental Official Protraction described below.

Submerged Lands Act Boundary - The SLA boundary defines the seaward limit of a state's submerged lands and the landward boundary of federally managed OCS lands. The official version of the SLA Boundaries can only be found on the BOEM Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) or Supplemental Official Protraction Diagrams described below.

Atlantic Wildlife Survey Tracklines(2005-2012) - These data depict tracklines of wildlife surveys conducted in the Mid-Atlantic region since 2005. The tracklines are comprised of aerial and shipboard surveys. These data are intended to be used as a working compendium to inform the diverse number of groups that conduct surveys in the Mid-Atlantic region.The tracklines as depicted in this dataset have been derived from source tracklines and transects. The tracklines have been simplified (modified from their original form) due to the large size of the Mid-Atlantic region and the limited ability to map all areas simultaneously.The tracklines are to be used as a general reference and should not be considered definitive or authoritative. This data can be downloaded from http://www.boem.gov/uploadedFiles/BOEM/Renewable_Energy_Program/Mapping_and_Data/ATL_WILDLIFE_SURVEYS.zip

BOEM OCS Protraction Diagrams & Leasing Maps - This data set contains a national scale spatial footprint of the outer boundaries of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s (BOEM’s) Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) and Leasing Maps (LMs). It is updated as needed. OPDs and LMs are mapping products produced and used by the BOEM to delimit areas available for potential offshore mineral leases, determine the State/Federal offshore boundaries, and determine the limits of revenue sharing and other boundaries to be considered for leasing offshore waters. This dataset shows only the outline of the maps that are available from BOEM.Only the most recently published paper or pdf versions of the OPDs or LMs should be used for official or legal purposes. The pdf maps can be found by going to the following link and selecting the appropriate region of interest. http://www.boem.gov/Oil-and-Gas-Energy-Program/Mapping-and-Data/Index.aspx Both OPDs and LMs are further subdivided into individual Outer Continental Shelf(OCS) blocks which are available as a separate layer. Some OCS blocks that also contain other boundary information are known as Supplemental Official Block Diagrams (SOBDs.) Further information on the historic development of OPD's can be found in OCS Report MMS 99-0006: Boundary Development on the Outer Continental Shelf: http://www.boemre.gov/itd/pubs/1999/99-0006.PDF Also see the metadata for each of the individual GIS data layers available for download. The Official Protraction Diagrams (OPDs) and Supplemental Official Block Diagrams (SOBDs), serve as the legal definition for BOEM offshore boundary coordinates and area descriptions.

BOEM OCS Lease Blocks - Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lease blocks serve as the legal definition for BOEM offshore boundary coordinates used to define small geographic areas within an Official Protraction Diagram (OPD) for leasing and administrative purposes. OCS blocks relate back to individual Official Protraction Diagrams and are not uniquely numbered. Only the most recently published paper or pdf

The data set for the Corona North 7.5' quadrangle was prepared under the U.S. Geological Survey Southern California Areal Mapping Project (SCAMP) as part of an ongoing effort to develop a regional geologic framework of southern California, and to utilize a Geographic Information System (GIS) format to create regional digital geologic databases. These regional databases are being developed as contributions to the National Geologic Map Database of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program of the USGS.

This data set maps and describes the geology of the Corona North 7.5' quadrangle, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, California. Created using Environmental Systems Research Institute's ARC/INFO software, the data base consists of the following items: (1) a map coverage containing geologic contacts and units, (2) a coverage containing structural data, (3) a coverage containing geologic unit annotation and leaders, and (4) attribute tables for geologic units (polygons), contacts (arcs), and site-specific data (points). In addition, the data set includes the following graphic and text products: (1) a postscript graphic plot-file containing the geologic map, topography, cultural data, a Correlation of Map Units (CMU) diagram, a Description of Map Units (DMU), and a key for point and line symbols, and (2) PDF files of the Readme (including the metadata file as an appendix), and the graphic produced by the Postscript plot file.

The Corona North quadrangle is located near the northern end of the Peninsular Ranges Province. All but the southeastern tip of the quadrangle is within the Perris block, a relatively stable, rectangular in plan area located between the Elsinore and San Jacinto fault zones. The southeastern tip of the quadrangle is barely within the Elsinore fault zone.

The quadrangle is underlain by Cretaceous plutonic rocks that are part of the composite Peninsular Ranges batholith. These rocks are exposed in a triangular-shaped area bounded on the north by the Santa Ana River and on the south by Temescal Wash, a major tributary of the Santa Ana River. A variety of mostly silicic granitic rocks occur in the quadrangle, and are mainly of monzogranite and granodioritic composition, but range in composition from micropegmatitic granite to gabbro. Most rock units are massive and contain varying amounts of meso- and melanocratic equant-shaped inclusions. The most widespread granitic rock is monzogranite of the Cajalco pluton, a large pluton that extends some distance south of the quadrangle. North of Corona is a body of micropegmatite that appears to be unique in the batholith rocks.

Diagonally bisecting the quadrangle is the Santa Ana River. North of the Santa Ana River alluvial deposits are dominated by the distal parts of alluvial fans emanating from the San Gabriel Mountains north of the quadrangle. Widespread areas of the fan deposits are covered by a thin layer of wind blown sand.

Alluvial deposits in the triangular-shaped area between the Santa Ana River and Temescal Wash are quite varied, but consist principally of locally derived older alluvial fan deposits. These deposits rest on remnants of older, early Quaternary or late Tertiary age, nonmarine sedimentary deposits that were derived from both local sources and sources as far away as the San Bernardino Mountains. These deposits in part were deposited by an ancestral Santa Ana River. Older are a few scattered remnants of late Tertiary (Pliocene) marine sandstone that include some conglomerate lenses. Clasts in the conglomerate include siliceous volcanic rocks exotic to this part of southern California. This sandstone was deposited as the southeastern-most part of the Los Angeles sedimentary marine basin and was deposited along a rocky shoreline developed in the granitic rocks, much like the present day shoreline at Monterey, California. Most of the sandstone and granitic paleoshoreline features have been removed by quarrying and grading in the area of Porphyry north to Highway 91. Excellent exposures in highway road cuts still remain on the north side of Highway 91 just east of the 91-15 interchange and on the east side of U.S. 15 just north of the interchange.

South of Temescal Wash is a series of both younger and older alluvial fan deposits emanating from the Santa Ana Mountains to the southeast. In the immediate southwest corner of the quadrangle is a small exposure of sandstone and pebble conglomerate of the Sycamore Canyon member of the Puente Formation of early Pliocene and Miocene age and sandstone and conglomerate of undivided Sespe and Vaqueros Formations of early Miocene, Oligocene, and late Eocene age.

The geologic map data base contains original U.S. Geological Survey data generated by detailed field observation recorded on 1:24,000 scale aerial photographs. The map was created by transferring lines from the aerial photographs to a 1:24,000 scale topographic base. The map was digitized and lines, points, and polygons were subsequently edited using standard ARC/INFO commands. Digitizing and editing artifacts significant enough to display at a scale of 1:24,000 were corrected. Within the database, geologic contacts are represented as lines (arcs), geologic units are polygons, and site-specific data as points. Polygon, arc, and point attribute tables (.pat, .aat, and .pat, respectively) uniquely identify each geologic datum.

California State Lands Commission Offshore Oil Leases in the vicinity of Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Orange County.The polygons in this layer show the position of Offshore Oil Leases as documented by former State Lands Senior Boundary Determination Officer, Cris N. Perez and as reviewed and updated by GIS and Boundary staff.Background: This layer represents active offshore oil and gas agreements in California waters, which are what remain of the more than 60 originally issued. These leases were issued prior to the catastrophic 1969 oil spill from Platform A in federal waters off Santa Barbara County, and some predate the formation of the Commission. Between 2010 and 2014, the bulk of the approximately $300 million generated annually for the state's General Fund from oil and gas agreements was from these offshore leases.In 1921, the Legislature created the first tidelands oil and gas leasing program. Between 1921 and 1929, approximately 100 permits and leases were issued and over 850 wells were drilled in Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties. In 1929, the Legislature prohibited any new leases or permits. In 1933, however, the prohibition was partially lifted in response to an alleged theft of tidelands oil in Huntington Beach. It wasn't until 1938, and again in 1955, that the Legislature would allow new offshore oil and gas leasing. Except for limited circumstances, the Legislature has consistently placed limits on the areas that the Commission may offer for lease and in 1994, placed the entirety of California's coast off-limits to new oil and gas leases. Layer Creation Process:In 1997 Cris N. Perez, Senior Boundary Determination Officer of the Southern California Section of the State Lands Division, prepared a report on the Commission’s Offshore Oil Leases to:A. Show the position of Offshore Oil Leases. B. Produce a hard copy of 1927 NAD Coordinates for each lease. C. Discuss any problems evident after plotting the leases.Below are some of the details Cris included in the report:I have plotted the leases that were supplied to me by the Long Beach Office and computed 1927 NAD California Coordinates for each one. Where the Mean High Tide Line (MHTL) was called for and not described in the deed, I have plotted the California State Lands Commission CB Map Coordinates, from the actual field surveys of the Mean High Water Line and referenced them wherever used. Where the MHTL was called for and not described in the deed and no California State Lands Coordinates were available, I digitized the maps entitled, “Map of the Offshore Ownership Boundary of the State of California Drawn pursuant to the Supplemental Decree of the U.S. Supreme Court in the U.S. V. California, 382 U.S. 448 (1966), Scale 1:10000 Sheets 1-161.” The shore line depicted on these maps is the Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) Line as shown on the Hydrographic or Topographic Sheets for the coastline. If a better fit is needed, a field survey to position this line will need to be done.The coordinates listed in Cris’ report were retrieved through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and used to produce GIS polygons using Esri ArcGIS software. Coordinates were checked after the OCR process when producing the polygons in ArcMap to ensure accuracy. Original Coordinate systems (NAD 1927 California State Plane Zones 5 and 6) were used initially, with each zone being reprojected to NAD 83 Teale Albers Meters and merged after the review process.While Cris’ expertise and documentation were relied upon to produce this GIS Layer, certain polygons were reviewed further for any potential updates since Cris’ document and for any unusual geometry. Boundary Determination Officers addressed these issues and plotted leases currently listed as active, but not originally in Cris’ report. On December 24, 2014, the SLA boundary offshore of California was fixed (permanently immobilized) by a decree issued by the U.S. Supreme Court United States v. California, 135 S. Ct. 563 (2014). Offshore leases were clipped so as not to exceed the limits of this fixed boundary. Lease Notes:PRC 1482The “lease area” for this lease is based on the Compensatory Royalty Agreement dated 1-21-1955 as found on the CSLC Insider. The document spells out the distinction between “leased lands” and “state lands”. The leased lands are between two private companies and the agreement only makes a claim to the State’s interest as those lands as identified and surveyed per the map Tract 893, Bk 27 Pg 24. The map shows the State’s interest as being confined to the meanders of three sloughs, one of which is severed from the bay (Anaheim) by a Tideland sale. It should be noted that the actual sovereign tide and or submerged lands for this area is all those historic tide and submerged lands minus and valid tide land sales patents. The three parcels identified were also compared to what the Orange County GIS land records system has for their parcels. Shapefiles were downloaded from that site as well as two centerline monuments for 2 roads covered by the Tract 893. It corresponded well, so their GIS linework was held and clipped or extended to make a parcel.MJF Boundary Determination Officer 12/19/16PRC 3455The “lease area” for this lease is based on the Tract No. 2 Agreement, Long Beach Unit, Wilmington Oil Field, CA dated 4/01/1965 and found on the CSLC insider (also recorded March 12, 1965 in Book M 1799, Page 801).Unit Operating Agreement, Long Beach Unit recorded March 12, 1965 in Book M 1799 page 599.“City’s Portion of the Offshore Area” shall mean the undeveloped portion of the Long Beach tidelands as defined in Section 1(f) of Chapter 138, and includes Tract No. 1”“State’s Portion of the Offshore Area” shall mean that portion of the Alamitos Beach Park Lands, as defined in Chapter 138, included within the Unit Area and includes Tract No. 2.”“Alamitos Beach Park Lands” means those tidelands and submerged lands, whether filled or unfilled, described in that certain Judgment After Remittitur in The People of the State of California v. City of Long Beach, Case No. 683824 in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, dated May 8, 1962, and entered on May 15, 1962 in Judgment Book 4481, at Page 76, of the Official Records of the above entitled court”*The description for Tract 2 has an EXCEPTING (statement) “therefrom that portion lying Southerly of the Southerly line of the Boundary of Subsidence Area, as shown on Long Beach Harbor Department {LBHD} Drawing No. D-98. This map could not be found in records nor via a PRA request to the LBHD directly. Some maps were located that show the extents of subsidence in this area being approximately 700 feet waterward of the MHTL as determined by SCC 683824. Although the “EXCEPTING” statement appears to exclude most of what would seem like the offshore area (out to 3 nautical miles from the MHTL which is different than the actual CA offshore boundary measured from MLLW) the 1964, ch 138 grant (pg25) seems to reference the lands lying seaward of that MHTL and ”westerly of the easterly boundary of the undeveloped portion of the Long Beach tidelands, the latter of which is the same boundary (NW) of tract 2. This appears to then indicate that the “EXCEPTING” area is not part of the Lands Granted to City of Long Beach and appears to indicate that this portion might be then the “State’s Portion of the Offshore Area” as referenced in the Grant and the Unit Operating Agreement. Section “f” in the CSLC insider document (pg 9) defines the Contract Lands: means Tract No. 2 as described in Exhibit “A” to the Unit Agreement, and as shown on Exhibit “B” to the Unit Agreement, together with all other lands within the State’s Portion of the Offshore Area.Linework has been plotted in accordance with the methods used to produce this layer, with record lines rotated to those as listed in the descriptions. The main boundaries being the MHTL(north/northeast) that appears to be fixed for most of the area (projected to the city boundary on the east/southeast); 3 nautical miles from said MHTL on the south/southwest; and the prolongation of the NWly line of Block 50 of Alamitos Bay Tract.MJF Boundary Determination Officer 12-27-16PRC 4736The “lease area” for this lease is based on the Oil and Gas Lease and Agreement as found on the CSLC insider and recorded August 17, 1973 in BK 10855 PG 432 Official Records, Orange County. The State’s Mineral Interests are confined to Parcels “B-1” and “B-2” and are referred to as “State Mineral Lands” comprising 70.00 Acres. The lessee each has a right to certain uses including but not limited to usage of utility corridors, 110 foot radius parcels surrounding well-sites and roads. The State also has access to those same roads per this agreement/lease. Those uses are allowed in what are termed “State Lands”-Parcel E and “Leased Lands” which are defined as the “South Bolsa Lease Area”-Parcel C (2 parcels) and “North Bolsa Lease Area”-Parcel D. The “State Lands”-Parcel E are actually 3 parcels, 2 of which are within road right-of-ways. MJF Boundary Determination Officer 12-28-16

The primary objective of the project is to develop an integrated ecological and socioeconomic land use evaluation model (the Ecosystem Portfolio Model, EPM) for Department of the Interior (DOI) resource managers to use to reconcile the need to maintain the ecological health of South Florida parks and refuges with increasing pressures for higher density development in the agricultural lands outside of the Urban Development Boundary in Miami-Dade County. The EPM has three major components: (1) an ecological value model based on ecological criteria relevant to National Park Service and US Fish & Wildlife Service resource management and species protection mandates; (2) a real estate market-based land value model sensitive to relevant land use/cover attributes indicative of conservation and development decisions; and (3) a set of socioeconomic indicators sensitive to land use/cover changes relevant to regional environmental and ecological planning. The current version is implemented for Miami-Dade County, with the protection of ecological values in the lands between the Everglades and Biscayne National Parks as the focus. The first two components have been implemented in the GIS web-enabled prototype interface and the third component is being developed in draft form in FY08 in consultation with the Florida Atlantic University Dept of Urban and Regional Planning.

 South Florida’s national parks and wildlife refuges are threatened by accelerated growth of the surrounding built environment which alters the natural hydrology and ecology, and introduces harmful levels of sediment, nutrients and toxins. Department of the Interior (DOI) scientists and land managers are faced with major informational and financial challenges and conflicting stakeholder interests in their efforts to manage and protect resources to fulfill their stewardship responsibilities. The web-based EPM will contribute to improved public understanding and awareness of the importance of protecting South Florida habitats and ecosystem functions, as well as the possible externalities associated with upcoming land use decisions.

This dataset includes the locations of magnetotelluric (MT) stations collected in 2006 in the Southern San Luis Valley, Colorado. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a series of multidisciplinary studies, including MT surveys, in the San Luis Valley to improve understanding of the hydrogeology of the Santa Fe Group and the nature of the sedimentary deposits comprising the principal groundwater aquifers of the Rio Grande rift. The shallow unconfined and the deeper confined Santa Fe Group aquifers in the San Luis Basin are the main sources of municipal water for the region. The population of the San Luis Valley region is growing rapidly and water shortfalls could have serious consequences. Future growth and land management in the region depend on accurate assessment and protection of the region's groundwater resources.

This 1 km resolution 41-class land cover classification map of South America was produced from 1-15 km National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data over the time period 1987 through 1991.

These data were originally acquired from Woods Hole Research Center ("http://terra.whrc.org/science/tropfor/setLBA.htm") and were modified as described in documentation provided when data are ordered from EOS-WEBSTER.

Digital images of these data are also available from the EOS-WEBSTER Image Gallary. Please see the Data Tab at the following URL: "http://eos-earthdata.sr.unh.edu/". These images can be downloaded as JPEGs and used directly in a document or printed.

The map and descriptions offer information that may be used for: land-use planning (e.g. selecting land fill sites, greenbelts, avoiding geologic hazards), for finding aggregate resources (crushed rock, sand, and gravel), for study of geomorphology and Quaternary geology. Geologic hazards (e.g., landslides, swelling soils, heaving bedrock, and flooding) known to be located in, or characteristic of some mapped units, were identified.

Surficial deposits in the quadrangle partially record depositional events of the Quaternary Period (the most recent 1.8 million years). Some events such as floods are familiar to persons living in the area, while other recorded events are pre-historical. The latter include glaciation, probable large earthquakes, protracted drought, and widespread deposition of sand and silt by wind. At least twice in the past 200,000 years (most recently about 30,000 to 12,000 years ago) global cooling caused glaciers to form along the Continental Divide. The glaciers advanced down valleys in the Front Range, deeply eroded the bedrock, and deposited moraines (map units tbg, tbj) and outwash (ggq, gge). On the plains (east part of map), eolian sand (es), stabilized dune sand (ed), and loess (elb) are present and in places contain buried paleosols. These deposits indicate that periods of sand dune deposition alternated with periods of stabilized dunes and soil formation.

Thirty-nine types of surficial geologic deposits and residual materials of Quaternary age are described and mapped in the greater Denver area, in part of the Front Range, and in the piedmont and plains east of Denver, Boulder, and Castle Rock. Descriptions appear in the pamphlet that accompanies the map. Landslide deposits, colluvium, residuum, alluvium, and other deposits or materials are described in terms of predominant grain size, mineral or rock composition (e.g., gypsiferous, calcareous, granitic, andesitic), thickness of deposits, and other physical characteristics. Origins and ages of the deposits and geologic hazards related to them are noted. Many lines between geologic units on our map were placed by generalizing contacts on published maps. However, in 1997-1999 we mapped new boundaries, as well. The map was projected to the UTM projection. This large map area extends from the Continental Divide near Winter Park and Fairplay ( on the west edge), eastward about 107 mi (172 km); and extends from Boulder on the north edge to Woodland Park at the south edge (68 mi; 109 km).

Compilation scale: 1:250,000. Map is available in digital and print-on-demand paper formats. Deposits are described in terms of predominant grain size, mineralogic and lithologic composition, general thickness, and geologic hazards, if any, relevant geologic historical information and paleosoil information, if any. Thirty- nine map units of deposits include 5 alluvium types, 15 colluvia, 6 residua, 3 types of eolian deposits, 2 periglacial/disintegrated deposits, 3 tills, 2 landslide units, 2 glaciofluvial units, and 1 diamicton. An additional map unit depicts large areas of mostly bare bedrock.

The physical properties of the surficial materials were compiled from published soil and geologic maps and reports, our field observations, and from earth science journal articles. Selected deposits in the field were checked for conformity to descriptions of map units by the Quaternary geologist who compiled the surficial geologic map units.
