Jaenicke, Margaret E. Hopkins, Anders L. Kowalski, Kurt P. Bozimowski, Alexandra A. Sanocki, Chris A. 202406 Western Lake Erie Restoration Assessment: Study Area vector and raster digital data Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey https://doi.org/10.5066/P9OS796H U.S. Geological Survey 2016 Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) vector and raster digital data Reston, VA U.S. Geological Survey https://doi.org/10.5066/P9UAA4HY The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) created this geospatial dataset as the study area boundary of the Western Lake Erie Restoration Assessment (WLERA) which covers the southwestern shore of Lake Erie. WLERA is a part of the USGS's Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative where coastal areas around the Great Lakes are identified and ranked for potential wetland restoration. This study area encompasses the shoreline of Western Lake Erie in between the Black River (Ohio) and the Huron River (Michigan). Please refer to the process steps and https://glcwra.wim.usgs.gov/ for further explanation on the methods. Version 2.0 of this dataset was created with more recently released input data. For information on the changes between versions 1.0 and 2.0, please see the Release History text file. The purpose of the study area is to define the extent of GLCWRA's restoration assessment for the WLERA. This vector layer was used as a geographic limit for all other datasets associated with the WLERA (parameters 0-6 and the DEM). The datasets in WLERA Composite 2024 (Jaenicke et al., 2024) were created with more recently published datasets than the WLERA Composite 2016 release (Saarinen, 2016). The foremost among these is the digital elevation model (DEM) which was used to create the study area boundary, the hydroperiod, the dikes and the index composite layers. The elevation data was created from 3DEP DEM tiles published between 2015 and 2019. Updated versions of the following datasets were also used in the creation of WLERA Composite 2024: National Wetland Inventory (NWI) data published in 2023, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) water level measurements from 1993-2023, Soil Survey Geographic Database (SSURGO) data published in 2022, National Hydrology Dataset (NHD) published in 2023, Protected Areas Database (PAD-US) data published in 2022 and National Land Cover Database (NLCD) data published in 2021. The methodology of the project has largely stayed the same between the WLERA Composite 2016 and WLERA Composite 2024 data release. The notable exception is that there were additional steps used to create the index composite. After the index composite was created using the input parameters and the composite model, a boundary cleaning routine was used to reduce the amount of data noise or lone grid cells present within the index composite. The index composite layer was also reviewed by USGS ecologists after the model was executed and before the data were published, to ensure the accuracy of the results. Based on this review, index composite values returned from the model that did not highlight restorable wetlands were removed from the final dataset. 202406 publication date Complete None planned -83.6989 -82.1090 42.1192 41.2678 ISO 19115 Topic Category environment geoscientificInformation inlandWaters Marine Realms Information Bank (MRIB) keywords lake lakeshore wetland wetland restoration stream river hydrology resource management USGS Thesaurus hydrology natural resource management water quality remediation wetland ecosystems Holocene Common geographic areas Great Lakes Ohio Michigan Lake Erie Western Lake Erie None.

Ann Arbor MI 48105 US 734-214-9308 734-994-8780 kkowalski@usgs.gov The GLCWRA was produced with funding provided by the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) and in collaboration with the New College of Florida. Digital datasets obtained from public repositories and datasets including the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), National Wetland Index (NWI), 3D Elevation Program (3DEP), U.S. Census Bureau, National Geospatial Program, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), Protected Areas Database of the U.S. (PAD-US), National Land Cover Database (NLDC), Gridded Soil Survey Geographic Database (gSSURGO), Coastal Change Analysis Program (C-CAP), Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) dataset U.S. Geological Survey 2016 Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) Geonarrative application/service Geonarrative map website for GLCWRA study https://glcwra.wim.usgs.gov/ Kurt P Kowalski Justin A. Saarinen 2016 Western Lake Erie Restoration Assessment Composite Model dataset https://www.sciencebase.gov U.S. Geological Survey Previous release of data. See "Supplemental Information" for more context. https://doi.org/10.5066/f74t6ghx The attribute values of this dataset were inspected and confirmed to be within the proper range of values. The attribute values were reviewed, and spatial data was visually inspected to verify the that the data values and their locations accurately describe the purpose of the data. This dataset is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. This dataset provides coverage for the entire Western Lake Erie Restoration Assessment study area. Approximately 20% of the spatial data was visually inspected to verify the positional accuracy of its features. The review consisted of comparing the spatial data to its input datasets and to underlying GIS basemaps. While this data has been reviewed, the spatial data is only as spatially accurate as the input data sources. This dataset does not have a vertical component, so testing for vertical accuracy was not necessary.

Digital Elevation Model The DEM tiles of the source data were mosaiced together to create a continuous raster providing full coverage for the study area and the surrounding areas. Using ArcGIS Pro 3.0.3, the 'Contour' tool was used to draw a contour along 176.9563 meters through the WLERA DEM. This elevation is 1 meter above the maximum water level from the NOAA water level gage 9063085 which is the most centrally located gage within the study area. The contour line was then buffered by 1 kilometer using the 'Buffer' tool (Side Type = Full, End Type = Round, Method = Planar, Dissolve Type = Dissolve all output features into a single feature). A second buffer polygon was created by buffering the portion of the shoreline of Lake Erie within the area of interest by 2 kilometers by using the 'Buffer' tool (Side Type = Full, End Type = Round, Method = Planar, Dissolve Type = Dissolve all output features into a single feature). Then this buffer polygon and the polygon created in the previous step were merged together using the 'Merge' tool. The resulting polygon represents the WLERA study area. 20230817 Vector G-polygon 1 Universal Transverse Mercator 17 0.9996 -81.0 0.0 500000.0 0.0 coordinate pair 0.6096 0.6096 meters North_American_Datum_1983 GRS 1980 6378137.0 298.257222101 WLERA_StudyArea.shp Attribute Table Vector dataset (in shapefile format) containing the boundary of the WLERA study area.
