FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: NRI_NOV15.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
SHAPE	Feature geometry.
NRI_ID	This is the unique ID created for each segment of each river.
RIVER	The offical name of the river.
REACH	Description of where the NRI segment is physically located.
DESCRIPTION	The description provided by various managing agencies (from state up to the federal level) when each river segment is brought into the NRI. It is a narrative description of each rivers outstandingly remarkable values.
ORIGINAL_MILES	The miles associated with the original NRI Access files and GIS data.
GIS_MILES	The miles calulated within ArcMap from the beginning to the end of the NRI segment.
STATE1	State that the majority of the NRI segment flows within- usually the state containing the upstream portion of the river segment.
STATE2	State the the NRI segment may flow into out of State1
COUNTY	The county or counties that an NRI river segment flows within.
CLASSIFICATION	The Interagency Guidelines provide the following direction for establishing preliminary classifications for eligible rivers: Wild rivers (W): Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free of impoundments and generally inaccessible except by trail, with watersheds or shorelines essentially primitive and waters unpolluted. These represent vestiges of primitive America. Scenic rivers (S): Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free of impoundments, with shorelines or watersheds still largely primitive and shorelines largely undeveloped, but accessible in places by roads. Recreational rivers (R): Those rivers or sections of rivers that are readily accessible by road or railroad, that may have some development along their shorelines, and that may have undergone some impoundment or diversion in the past.
SCENIC	"Outstandingly Remarkable Value:" the landscape elements of landform, vegetation, water, color, and related factors result in notable or exemplary visual features and/or attractions. When analyzing scenic values, additional factors -- such as seasonal variations in vegetation, scale of cultural modifications, and the length of time negative intrusions are viewed -- may be considered. Scenery and visual attractions may be highly diverse over the majority of the river or river segment.
RECREATIONAL	"Outstandingly Remarkable Value:" recreational opportunities are, or have the potential to be, popular enough to attract visitors from throughout or beyond the region of comparison or are unique or rare within the region. Visitors are willing to travel long distances to use the river resources for recreational purposes. River-related opportunities could include, but are not limited to, sightseeing, wildlife observation, camping, photography, hiking, fishing and boating. Interpretive opportunities may be exceptional and attract, or have the potential to attract, visitors from outside the region of comparison. The river may provide, or have the potential to provide, settings for national or regional usage or competitive events.
GEOLOGIC	"Outstandingly Remarkable Value:" the river, or the area within the river corridor, contains one or more example of a geologic feature, process or phenomenon that is unique or rare within the region of comparison. The feature(s) may be in an unusually active stage of development, represent a "textbook" example, and/or represent a unique or rare combination of geologic features (erosional, volcanic, glacial, or other geologic structures).
FISH	"Outstandingly Remarkable Value:" Fish values may be judged on the relative merits of either fish populations, habitat, or a combination of these river-related conditions. Populations: The river is nationally or regionally an important producer of resident and/or anadromous fish species. Of particular significance is the presence of wild stocks and/or federal or state listed (or candidate) threatened, endangered or sensitive species. Diversity of species is an important consideration and could, in itself, lead to a determination of "outstandingly remarkable." Habitat: The river provides exceptionally high quality habitat for fish species indigenous to the region of comparison. Of particular significance is habitat for wild stocks and/or federal or state listed (or candidate) threatened, endangered or sensitive species. Diversity of habitats is an important consideration and could, in itself, lead to a determination of "outstandingly remarkable."
WILDLIFE	"Outstandingly Remarkable Value:" wildlife values may be judged on the relative merits of either terrestrial or aquatic wildlife populations or habitat or a combination of these conditions. Populations: The river, or area within the river corridor, contains nationally or regionally important populations of indigenous wildlife species. Of particular significance are species considered to be unique, and/or populations of federal or state listed (or candidate) threatened, endangered or sensitive species. Diversity of species is an important consideration and could, in itself, lead to a determination of "outstandingly remarkable." Habitat: The river, or area within the river corridor, provides exceptionally high quality habitat for wildlife of national or regional significance, and/or may provide unique habitat or a critical link in habitat conditions for federal or state listed (or candidate) threatened, endangered or sensitive species. Contiguous habitat conditions are such that the biological needs of the species are met. Diversity of habitats is an important consideration and could, in itself, lead to a determination of "outstandingly remarkable."
HISTORIC	"Outstandingly Remarkable Value:" the river or area within the river corridor contains a site(s) or feature(s) associated with a significant event, an important person, or a cultural activity of the past that was rare or one-of-a-kind in the region. Many such sites are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A historic site(s) and/or features(s) is 50 years old or older in most cases. Pre-history: The river, or area within the river corridor, contains a site(s) where there is evidence of occupation or use by Native Americans. Sites must have unique or rare characteristics or exceptional human interest value(s). Sites may have national or regional importance for interpreting prehistory; may be rare and represent an area where a culture or cultural period was first identified and described; may have been used concurrently by two or more cultural groups; and/or may have been used by cultural groups for rare sacred purposes. Many such sites are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which is administered by the NPS.
CULTURAL	"Outstandingly Remarkable Value:" The river or area within the river corridor contains archaelogical sites or areas significant to traditional cultures. Examples might be American Indian burial grounds, petroglyphs, the oldest known human use site in a region, or streams that support traditional agriculture, subsistence fishing, or religious ceremonies.
OTHER	"Outstandingly Remarkable Value:" While no specific national evaluation guidelines have been developed for the "other similar values" category, assessments of additional river-related values consistent with the foregoing guidance may be developed -- including, but not limited to, hydrology, paleontology and botany resources.
ORV	All ORV fields combined for visualization purposes.

USER NOTES:

This data is provided 'as is'. GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the original data layer's topology

This data is provided 'as is' by GeoPlan and is complete to our knowledge.

GeoPlan relied on the integrity of the attribute information within the original data.

The NRI dataset is for the contiguous United States as well as Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico and contains 3,213 river segments. This update includes: *Updating the geospatial resolution/ scale to 1:24K *Removing duplicate and overlapping segments *Removing segments or portions of segments that were designated into the National WSR System *Creating a geodatabase with additional attribute fields. Attributes from the original GIS layer were transferred over. Known information on the classification, official NRI list, number of river miles (calculated from GIS) and management entity (federal) were filled in. Notes were made when changes were made to the data. Not all the attributes in the database are filled in and select rivers have additional information. The new number of NRI river segments is 3,213 (down from 3,439 in the original access files and 2,805 in the original GIS shape file.) Many more segments were modified to remove the designated WSR reaches. Candidate rivers that were found eligible through 5(a) and 5(d) WSR studies since 1993 by the USFS, USFWS, BLM, and NPS in OR have not been added to this database. In order to add these to the official NRI list, the Secretary of Interior would need to announce this addition and notify other federal agencies of this action. No new studies would be needed. It is just a matter of compiling existing studies and data.

Under a 1979 Presidential directive, and related Council on Environmental Quality procedures, all federal agencies must seek to avoid or mitigate actions that would adversely affect one or more NRI segments. The NRI is a source of information for statewide river assessments and federal agencies involved with stream-related projects. For any group concerned with ecosystem management, the inventory can provide the location of the nearest naturally- functioning system which might serve as a reference for monitoring activities. It also serves as a listing of plant and animal species for restoration efforts on a similar section of river. For the recreationalist, it provides a listing of free-flowing, relatively undisturbed river segments.

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

NPS Process Steps: This data set is for the contiguous United States as well as Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico and contains 3,213 river segments. This update includes: - Updating the geospatial resolution/ scale to 1:24K - Removing duplicate and overlapping segments - Removing segments or portions of segments that were designated into the National WSR System - Creating a geodatabase with additional attribute fields. Attributes from the original GIS layer were transferred over. Known information on the classification, official NRI list, number of river miles (calculated from GIS) and management entity (federal) were filled in. Notes were made when changes were made to the data. - Not all the attributes in the database are filled in and select rivers have additional information. Process Date: Unknown ********************************************************************* GeoPlan Center Process Steps: - Downloaded the original NRI dataset from the National Park Service Data Store: https://irma.nps.gov/DataStore/Reference/Profile/2233706 - The original file (3213 records) was named, NRI.gdb/HYDRO_NationwideRiversInventory_ln. - Projecting the file from GCS_North_American_1983 to FGDL Albers NAD83 HARN, EPSG:3087 resulted in a ~0.27 m shift when comparing to the NHD24k Flowline dataset. To fix the discrepancy, the file was reprojected from GCS_North_American_1983 to FGDL Albers NAD83, EPSG:3086 and redefined to FGDL Albers NAD83 HARN, EPSG:3087. This reduced the shift to ~.005 m. - Selected only Florida rivers (66 records): State1 = 'FL' OR State2 = 'FL' - Upcased all records - Added DESCRIPT and FGDLAQDATE fields Process Date: 20180207 Dataset copied. Process Date: 20180227
