Summary

This dataset is part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative. These data represent the flowline network in the Green Bay Restoration Assessment (GBRA). It is attributed with the number of disconnections (e.g., road crossings) between the reach and Lake Ontario. The more road crossings on a flowline the more disconnected that area is from the lake and the less suitable it will be for restoration. These data help identify the condition of hydrologic separation between potential restoration areas and Lake Ontario. Low numbers represent fewer disconnections, such as culverts, between the reach and the water body requiring no flow network modification to restore the area. [...]

Purpose

This degree flowline dataset is a polyline feature class coded to represent the number of times a flowline (stream/river) passes under a road or railroad (i.e. through a culvert or under and bridge) for all streams in the Green Bay Restoration Assessment study area. Starting at the entry point of the flowline into the lake and continuing upstream, the degrees of disconnect count for the flowline increases by one for each bridge or culvert. This dataset was derived from the 1:24000 NHD Flowlines dataset and created with methodology outlined at https://glcwra.wim.usgs.gov/.
