FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES:

Datafile Name: WILDRIVER_FEB18.DBF

FEATURE ATTRIBUTE TABLES CODES AND VALUES:

Item	Item Description
OBJECTID	Internal feature number.
SHAPE	Feature geometry.
RIVER_ID	A unique river number that is given at the time of designation. For Congressionally Designated Rivers, per Section 3(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act: 1. Use the river numbers designated by Congress. For Secretarially Designated Rivers per Section 2(a)(ii) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (WSRA): 1. Since the Wild and Scenic rivers established under this provision of the WSRA are not assigned a number by Congress, the secretarially designated rivers are assigned a sequence, prefaced by SD (Secretarially Designated). 2. For the purpose of assigning sequential numbers, the Wild and Scenic rivers are listed chronologically based on designation date. When more than one WSR was established on the same date, the rivers are listed alphabetically.
SEGMENT_ID	A unique, manually generated number that identifies the river and the agency that manages that river by river segment. The number preceding the period is the Congressionally designated river number. The number following the period identifies the managing agency and the particular river section. All Forest Service-managed rivers belong to the '2000 series'. For example, ID = 133.2001 is the Allegheny River, managed by the US Forest Service in river section 1. The numbering convention and special cases are described here: For Congressionally Designated Rivers, per Section 3(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act: 1. Use the river numbers designated by Congress. 2. Each river may be further subdivided into additional segments based on a change in classification. These segments may be prescribed by Congress in statute or they may be delineated through agency planning processes. For consistency, the segments should be numbered from upstream to downstream. a. The segment ID will use the following scheme when a segment is managed by a single agency: BLM: 1000 USFS: 2000 NPS: 3000 FWS: 4000 ACOE: 5000 b. The segment ID will use the following scheme when a single segment is managed by two agencies: Multiple: 6000 For Secretarially Designated Rivers per Section 2(a)(ii) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (WSRA): 1. Since the Wild and Scenic rivers established under this provision of the WSRA are not assigned a number by Congress, the secretarially designated rivers are assigned a sequence, prefaced by SD (Secretarially Designated). 2. For the purpose of assigning sequential numbers, the Wild and Scenic rivers are listed chronologically based on designation date. When more than one WSR was established on the same date, the rivers are listed alphabetically. 3. Each river can then be further subdivided into additional segments based on a change in classification. For consistency, the segments should be numbered from upstream to downstream a. The segment ID will use the following scheme when a segment is managed by a single agency: BLM: 1000 USFS: 2000 NPS: 3000 FWS: 4000 b. The segment ID will use the following scheme when a single segment is managed by two agencies: Multiple: 6000 c. The segment ID will use the following scheme when a federal land management agency has only Section 7 jurisdiction for a segment: Section 7 Jurisdiction: 7000.
NAME	Name of the River.
GNIS_NAME	Name of the physical river or river segment that make up the wild and scenic river as recorded in the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS)
WSR_RIVER_NAME	Official Name of the designated Wild and Scenic River
WSR_RIVER_SHORTNAME	Proper name used for labeling maps and other documentation. "Wild and Scenic River" needs to be added to the end when labeling.
CLASSIFICATION	A classification type indicating the amount of development in the river corridor at the time of designation. Three classifications exist: Wild, Scenic, and Recreational. Regardless of classification, each river in the National System is administered with the goal of protecting and enhancing the values that caused it to be designated. Wild = 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 = 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 = 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.
BEGINNING_POINT_NARRATIVE	Description of the river segment start point.
ENDING_POINT_NARRATIVE	Description of the river segment end point
AGENCY	Federal government agency that has the primary management responsibility. USFS = United States Forest Service (USFS) NPS = National Park Service (NPS) BLM = Bureau of Land Management (BLM) FWS = Fish and Wildlife Services (FWS)
ORV_CULTURE	Defines whether the river segment has a Cultural (C) ORV (Outstanding Remarkable Value). The river or area within the river corridor contains archaeological 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. Y = Yes N = No
ORV_FISH	Defines whether the river segment has a Fish (F) ORV (Outstanding Remarkable Value). Fish values may be judged on the relative merits of either fish populations, habitat, or a combination of these river-related conditions. (1) 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." (2) 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." Y = Yes N = No
ORV_GEOLOGIC	Defines whether the river segment has a Geology (G) ORV (Outstanding 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). Y = Yes N = No
ORV_HISTORIC	Defines whether the river segment has a History (H) ORV (Outstanding 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. Y = Yes N = No
ORV_RECREATIONAL	Defines whether the river segment has a Recreation (R) ORV (Outstanding 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. Y = Yes N = No
ORV_SCENIC	Defines whether the river segment has a Scenery (S) ORV (Outstanding 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. Y = Yes N = No
ORV_WILDLIFE	Defines whether the river segment has a Wildlife (W) ORV (Outstanding 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. (1) 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." (2) 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." Y = Yes N = No
ORV_OTHER	Defines whether the river segment has an 'Other' (O) ORV (Outstanding 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_ID	Internal ORV identifier.
ORV_LIST	ORVs in comma delimited format
DESIGNATE	Designation of the river. NATIONAL WILD AND SCENIC RIVER = National Wild and Scenic River STATE WILD AND SCENIC RIVER = State of Florida Wild and Scenic River

------------------------------------------ Wild and Scenic Rivers in Florida https://www.rivers.gov/florida.php Florida has approximately 25,949 miles of river, of which 49.2 miles are designated as wild & scenic approximately 1/5th of 1% of the state's river miles. ------------------------------------------ Loxahatchee River: National Wild and Scenic River https://www.rivers.gov/rivers/loxahatchee.php Managing Agency: Jonathan Dickinson State Park 16450 Southeast Federal Highway Hobe Sound, Florida 33455 Phone: (772) 546-2771 Designated Reach: May 17, 1985. From Riverbend Park downstream to Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Classification/Mileage: Wild - 1.3 miles; Scenic - 5.8 miles; Recreational - 0.5 miles; Total - 7.6 miles. This scenic southern river flows through an interesting vegetative landscape which supports a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial fish and wildlife species. The river also provides for an abundance of bird species. ------------------------------------------ Wekiva River: National Wild and Scenic River https://www.rivers.gov/rivers/wekiva.php Managing Agency: National Park Service, Southeast Regional Office Atlanta Federal Center 100 Alabama Street, SW 1924 Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Phone: (404) 507-5600 Designated Reach: October 13, 2000. The Wekiva River from its confluence with the St. Johns River to Wekiva Springs. Rock Springs Run from its headwaters at Rock Springs to the confluence with the Wekiwa Springs Run. Black Water Creek from the outflow from Lake Norris to the confluence with the Wekiva River. Classification/Mileage: Wild - 31.4 miles; Scenic - 2.1 miles; Recreational - 8.1 miles; Total - 41.6 miles. The Wekiva River Basin is a complex ecological system of rivers, springs, seepage areas, lakes, streams, sinkholes, wetland prairies, hardwood hammocks, pine flatwoods and sand pine scrub communities. Water quality is exhibited in two ways. Several streams are clear due to being spring-fed. Others are blackwater; blackwater streams receive most of their flow from precipitation resulting in annual rainy season over-bank flows. The Wekiva and its tributaries are in superb ecological condition. The basin is almost entirely within Florida State lands and supports many species of plant and animal life, some of which are endangered, threatened, or of special concern. Elevations range from sea level to about 35 feet above sea level. The climate is subtropical, with an average annual temperature of around 72 degrees. Mean annual rainfall over the Wekiva basin is 52 inches, most of which occurs during the June-October rainy season. ------------------------------------------ Myakka River: State of Florida Wild and Scenic River http://www.myakkariver.net/ Myakka River was declared a Wild and Scenic River by the Florida State Legislature in 1985. Myakka River State designation: The 2017 Florida Statutes Title XVIII, Chapter 258, Part III 258.501 Myakka River; wild and scenic segment. http://leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0200-0299/0258/Sections/0258.501.html ------------------------------------------ Wild & Scenic Study Rivers Study Status (As of February 2018) https://www.rivers.gov/study.php The number of rivers included in the National System differs from the number of rivers authorized for study by Congress for the following reasons: * Not all rivers studied are found eligible or suitable for designation, many study rivers will not be included in the National System. * Some rivers are designated by Congress or the Secretary of the Interior without a pre-authorization or 5(a) study (e.g., the Niobrara). * Some rivers are designated through recommendations prepared in federal agency planning processes (e.g., 49 rivers designated in Oregon in 1988).

DATA LINEAGE SUMMARY:

This data was published using Feature Manipulation Engine Software. The spatial features were extracted from the transactional database, manipulated to meet the desired output format and published to the target feature class. This data was migrated from the CDW. The spatial features were projected and imported into the target feature class. Process Date: 20160302 ********************************************************************* GeoPlan Center Process Steps: National Wild and Scenic Rivers: - Downloaded the National Wild and Scenic River Segments dataset from the U.S. Forest Service FSGeodata Clearinghouse: https://data.fs.usda.gov/geodata/edw/datasets.php - The original file (951 records) was named: S_USA.WildScenicRiverSegment_LN.gdb/WildScenicRiverSegment_LN. - The file was projected from GCS_North_American_1983 to FGDL Albers NAD83 HARN, however this resulted in a shift of ~2.3 m when compared to the NHD24k Flowline dataset (nhd24flowline_feb16.shp, downloaded from FGDL). To fix this shift, the features were snapped to their corresponding NHD24k Flowline features. - Selected only Florida rivers (18 records): STATE = 'Florida'; Selection returned records for Wekiva and Loxahatchee river segments. - Renamed layer to WILDRIVER_FEB18 - Added NAME, DESIGNATE, SOURCE, DESCRIPT, FGDLAQDATE fields. - Removed fields with no values: SEGMENT_MILES, TOTAL_MILES, SEGMENT_ACRES, ADMINISTRATIVE_UNIT, COUNTY State Wild and Scenic Rivers: - Downloaded the National Hydrography Dataset - Linear Surface Water Drainage Network 1:24K dataset from FGDL: nhd24flowline_feb16.shp - Selected only segments of the Myakka river (231 records): GNIS_NAME = 'MYAKKA RIVER' - Selection was exported and records were merged into 1 feature. - The Myakka was then split into three segments, one of which corresponds to the Florida Wild and Scenic River segment described in Title XVIII, Chapter 258, Part III of the 2017 Florida Statutes (SR 780 to Sarasota-Charlotte County line). See Myakka River section in the supplemental information above for more details. - Myakka River features were appended to WILDRIVER_FEB18 Process Date: 20180208 Dataset copied. Process Date: 20180227
