  Description:
    Abstract:
      This spatial dataset includes linear aquatic habitat reaches ("reaches") and descriptions primarily based on the available Oregon 1:100,000 scale routed hydrography for the specified subbasin (or partial subbasin). Each reach was defined as such because it has unique aquatic habitat characteristics which separate it from surrounding aquatic habitat, such as temperature, gradient, water quality, etc. The dataset also includes obstruction reaches, which may partially or fully impede focal species passage. The reaches were originally developed during the 2002-2004 Subbasin Planning effort to define habitat units to be attributed, rated, and processed by the Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment (EDT) model (see details below).

      A subset of these reaches was used in the actual EDT analysis; please see the USEDINEDT item to access the reaches processed by the EDT model. Many of the EDT ratings and results attributes are available in a separate table (edt_reach_attributes.dbf) that can be appended to the reaches via the unique item, REACH_NAME. It is strongly recommended that data users consult the Mobrand Biometrics, Inc. EDT website (<http://www.mobrand.com/MBI/edt.html>) and the related Guidelines for Rating Selected Level 2 Environmental Attributes (<http://www.mobrand.com/MBI/pdfs/AttributeRatings-June2004.pdf>) to fully understand the EDT process and attribute definitions presented in this shapefile.

    Purpose:
      These reaches were developed by the local Subbasin Planning team in coordination with the Technical Outreach and Assistance to Subbasins Team (TOAST; sponsored by the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission). They were created to spatially define habitat units to be processed by Mobrand Biometric's Ecosystem Diagnosis and Treatment (EDT; <http://www.mobrand.com/MBI/edt.html>) model as part of the Subbasin Planning effort mandated by the Northwest Power and Conservation Council (NPCC) in 2003. (<http://www.nwcouncil.org/fw/subbasinplanning/Default.htm>)
    Supplemental_Information:
      This dataset is the original version of reaches delineated by local Subbasin Planning team members for EDT analysis. The reaches in this dataset were originally captured as linear events on the Oregon standard 1:100,000 (100K) hydrography provided by StreamNet. Reaches that do not correspond with the 100K hydrography have been digitized according to stream locations depicted on the 1:24,000 (24K) USGS DRG quadrangles.

      As mentioned above, only a subset of these reaches was processed by the EDT model for subbasin planning purposes. These reaches may be queried in this dataset on the USEDINEDT item.

      The associated attribute table, edt_reach_attributes.dbf, may be linked/joined to this shapefile via the REACHNAME item. The edt_reach_attributes.dbf table contains many attributes titled "patient" and "template." All patient attributes are denoted with "P" and template attributes are denoted with "T." Definitions for these items are present in this document (see Entity and Attribute information, or consult the Table_Attribute_Def within the Version 2.5 of the Stream Reach Editor).

      Patient - describes existing (current/contemporary) conditions of the diagnostic populations and their habitat.

      Template - a hypothetical potential state, where conditions are as good as they can be within the watershed. The Template is sometimes approximated with a reconstruction of historic conditions, prior to European contact.

      This is the second version/publication of these reaches. The first version was published in May 2004 (the original subbasin plan deadline) and had fewer reaches rated for EDT; it also included Bull Trout information because Bull Trout was initially intended to be processed by EDT. Due to the sheer vastness of the John Day subbasin and the large number of total reaches outlined for EDT processing, the subbasin planning team was unable to finish rating all of the reaches, and Bull Trout EDT was not completed. The NPCC agreed to fund a supplemental effort to allow the subbasin team to finish rating [at least] the anadromous reaches used by spring Chinook and summer steelhead and to complete Qualitative Habitat Analysis (QHA) processing for Bull Trout. The Bull Trout QHA reaches can now be found in a separate shapefile, reach_qha.shp, also available in this folder. Two items in the reach_edt.shp can be used to identify which original EDT reaches were converted into Bull Trout QHA reaches--BULLTR_ID and BULLTR_RCH.
