    Description
        Abstract
        Limited Distribution of Oregon resident trout

        These data describe areas of suitable habitat believed to be used
        (currently and historically) by wild, natural, and/or hatchery fish
        populations. The term "currently" is defined as within the past five
        reproductive cycles. See the 'USETYPE' field description to differentiate
        between current and historic distribution.  This information is based on
        the observations and best professional judgment of ODFW staff biologists
        and where possible, the observations and professional opinions of staff
        from other natural resource entities.

        Due to natural variations in run size, water conditions, or other environmental
        factors, some areas displayed may not be used by a species of fish on an annual
        basis.  Streams that have no data associated with them are considered UNKNOWN
        for species presence and/or absence.

        To date, the acquisition of resident trout distribution data has been
        incidental to the collection of anadromous salmon and steelhead habitat
        distribution.  For this reason, the trout data presented here should in
        no way be considered comprehensive for the entire anadromous zone.  The
        usetypes represented in the attribute table are subject to change when
        suitable definitions for resident fish habitat use are agreed upon within
        the scope of this project.

        Documentation information (e.g. mapped fish survey locations) currently exists
        and can be located under the "Observations/Sightings" heading at
        http://osu.orst.edu/dept/nrimp/information/index.htm.  There are a limited
        number of cases where documented observation extends above (upstream of)
        the distribution data.  Based on a preliminary review, NRIMP has
        decided not to extend the distribution data for these records pending more
        thorough evaluation of each individual case.  For example, the documentation
        record may be based on a ground measurement, such as 'rivermile,' which doesn't
        translate accurately into the GIS.  The ground measures, in particular for
        streams of significant length, can sometimes be greater than the GIS measures
        that are built into the stream route system.

        Purpose
        To map resident Oregon trout habitat distribution, including rainbow, redband,
        brook, and hybridized rainbow and cutthroat trout species.

    Supplemental_Information
        Procedures_Used

        These data were created through a process where 1:100,000 scale hydrography
        information was plotted by 7.5 minute USGS quadrangle pair and then provided
        to ODFW and other natural resources agency field staff for review.  Existing
        electronic species distribution, documentation, barriers, and dams were also
        plotted on the quad pairs.  Based on survey data, supporting documentation,
        and the best professional judgment of the field biologists, the distribution
        of habitat use (see the USETYPE field) was marked on the maps with colored
        pens.  These hardcopy data were then digitized by ODFW GIS staff and stored
        as event tables in a MS Access database.

        For the purpose of distributing these data, the event tables have been
        converted into coverage format with the EVENTARC command.  While this results
        in a static version of the dataset, it allows the information to be available
        in a more commonly used format.  To acquire the distribution data in event
        format, please contact the data administrator.

        Revisions
        While this is the first official release of these data, the first iteration
        of these data was completed in 1996. Since then, updates have been made to all
        areas of the anadromous zone.  Version 01 of the resident trout data coincides
        with Version 09 of the anadromous data release.  Further maintenance and updates
        will only occur as funding becomes available.
          Version 05 was created on Feb. 6, 2001.
          Version 06 was created on Jan. 18, 2002 (Hood and Clackamas areas updated)
          Version 07 was created on March 31, 2002 (North Coast, John Day, Umatilla,
            Upper Grande Ronde, and Enterprise areas updated)
          Version 08 was created on June 3, 2002 (Upper and Mid Willamette, Santiam,
            and Mid-coast areas update, not including the McKenzie, Middle or Coast
            Forks of the Willamette.)
          Version 09 was created on September 27, 2002 and includes entire remaining
            anadromous zone in Oregon (coastal and inter-Columbia regions).
            Version 09 has subsequently been edited (absence distribution was
            removed to separate coverages) and republished in December 2002.

        Reviews_Applied_to_Data

        All distribution data have been reviewed at least twice by ODFW field staff
        (typically district biologists) in the hardcopy stage.  The electronic datasets
        have not been officially reviewed.  The date of review exists in the attribute
        table for each distribution record (see the DATE item).

    Use_Constraints
    Because the acquisition of resident trout distribution information
    has been incidental to the collection of anadromous fish species
    information, these data are not comprehensive for the
    entire Oregon anadromous zone.

    Some streams that are used by resident trout may not be found in the
    1:100,000 scale streams data and therefore are not captured by this dataset.
    Please refer to the 1:24,000 scale distribution dataset (24K point coverages
    and/or shpaefiles) for supplementation.

    Not all data are based on direct observations. See the quality criteria
    code (QUALCRIT) for the varying levels of confidence in the data for each
    record.

    Historic distribution presented here is not comprehensive for the entire
    anadromous zone.  Historic information was collected peripherally and
    incidentally to current distribution information.

        QUALCRIT        Quality Criteria Code

        1 (PUO)    Present based on Undocumented professional Observation.
                   Areas where field biologists have observed the species in
                   question, or know of other professional biologists that have
                   observed the species in question, but the observation was not
                   recorded in a manner that allows is to be used as official
                   documentation.

        2 (PSO)    Present based on Strong professional Opinion. Areas where
                   field biologists feel the species in question is present, but
                   where they had not been specifically surveyed.
                   This classification is usually
                   based on geographically similar information (ie. data from
                   neighboring streams strongly supports presence in the stream
                   in question).

        3 (PMO)    Present based on Modest professional Opinion. Areas where
                   field biologists feel the species in question is present
                   because there is nothing to suggest that the species shouldn't
                   be present. This classification is not based on geographically
                   similar information (ie. there is no data from neighboring
                   streams to support or refute presence).  This category has
                   also been assigned to all records where the biologist failed
                   to indicate their confidence in the presence of a species.

        4 (DOC)    Documented presence. Written information describing the
                   observed life stage and-or behavior of a given species and
                   run of fish in a specific stream will be considered
                   documentation, if the information is determined to meet one
                   of the following two conditions.
                   -Condition 1: This information must be observed and reported by
                    a natural resource agency or its staff members or any other
                    credible natural resource professional in order to be used
                    as a documentation source.
                   -Condition 2: Incidental observation data must have been
                    collected while conducting a legitimate research or monitoring
                    effort. Observation specific, site specific and non-site
                    specific data sources will be maintained in separate data
                    tables and will be uniquely displayed on distribution maps.
