Description:
Abstract:
This layer identifies designated critical habitat for theRice Rat under the Endangered Species Act.
Purpose:
Geographic Information System (GIS) data for the designation of critical habitat of the Rice Rat: These GIS data and their associated coordinates are not the definitive source for determining the critical habitat boundaries for the Rice Rat. As noted in the final rule, the textual unit descriptions constitute the legal source for determining the critical habitat boundaries. Users of these GIS data are cautioned to refer to the final textual unit descriptions provided in the final rule as the definitive source in determining critical habitat areas. Additionally, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for a definitive finding of whether a location is within critical habitat.
Supplemental_Information:
Description from 58 FR 46034 1993 Rice Rat (Oryzomys palustris natator ( O. argentatus)).
Monroe County, Florida: Little Pine Key, Water Keys, Big Torch Key, Middle Torch Key, Summerland Key north of U.S. Highway 1, Cudjoe Key north of U.S. Highway 1, Johnston Key, Raccoon Key, and Lower Saddlebunch Keys, south of U.S. Highway I but not including lands in T. 67 S., R. 27 E., Section 8 and north 1/5 of Section 17. Included are all lands and waters above mean low tide. Within these areas the major constituent elements that are known to require special management considerations or protection are mangrove swamps containing red (Rhizophora mangle), black (Avicennia germinans), and white (Laguncularia racemosa) mangroves, and buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus); salt marshes, swales, and adjacent transitional wetlands containing saltwort (Batis maritima), perennial glasswort (Salicornia virginica), saltgrass (Distichlis spicata), sea ox-eye (Borrichia frutescens), keygrass (Monanthochloe littoralis), and coastal dropseed (Sporobolus virginicus); and fresh water marshes containing cattails (Typha domingensis), saw-grass (Cladium jamaicense), and cordgrass (Spartina spp.).
The original data layer "rice_rat-ch.shp" had an error in it where the area south of US1 was included in the critical habitat area. This was corrected in this file.

Access_Constraints:
These data are not to be redistributed to anyone. These data shall be obtained directly from the appropriate USFWS (see Section 6.1 Distributor) office or official USFWS internet web page (<http://criticalhabitat.fws.gov/>), when available.
Use_Constraints:
These data are final critical habitat areas for the Rice Rat. These data are to be used only in the context of the definition and purpose of critical habitat. This primarily relates to Section 7 consultation under the Endangered Species Act. These data may be used for planning and land management purposes. They are not to be used for legal survey use. NOTE: The legal boundaries are described in the Federal Register language (see supplemental information).

Native_Data_Set_Environment:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Version 5.2 (Build 3790) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.1.4000
Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
"AREA" and ACRES" attributes were updated to verify their accuracy on 8/30/05.
Quantitative_Attribute_Accuracy_Assessment:
Attribute_Accuracy_Value: Excellent
Attribute_Accuracy_Explanation:
Deductinve estimate. Since the attributes were created by a reliable software (XTools 2.2), it can be assumed that they are correct.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The shapefile was exported to an ArcInfo coverage. The coverage was checked using ArcEdit (ArcInfo 8.2). The coverage was checked for dangles, and they were removed if discovered. The lines also had all splits removed. The coverage was then built and exported back to a shapefile.
Completeness_Report:
The topology was checked completely. The attributes created by ArcInfo were deleted. XTools 2.2 was used to create and update the attributes "AREA" and "ACRES". The user-defined attribute field "KEY_NAME" was added for including the names of the islands.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal accuracy is within the national map accuracy standards for 1:24,000 GIS data.
Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value:
90% of identifiable points are within 1/50th of an inch (40 feet).
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:
This layer was overlayed on a 124,000 Florida county, Public Land Survey, and Florida major roads data layers to deductively check the accuracy

Process_Description:
The polygon ArcInfo coverage was converted back to a shapefile. The field attributes added by ArcInfo were deleted. The Attributes "Area" and "Acres" were created and updated by XTools 2.2. The attribute fields "Area" and "Acres" were then restructured using XTools 2.2 so that "Area" is an integer and "Acres" has only one decimal.
