Also shown are two threatened species the Chipola slabshell and the purple bankclimber. Collectively these species are referred to as the seven mussels. This dataset is provided for illustrative purposes only. This dataset does not represent the legal definition of proposed critical habitat units for the seven mussels. For the precise legal definition, please refer to the narrative unit descriptions as listed in the Federal Register, 50 CFR Part 17, Critical Habitat for Five Endangered and Two Threatened Mussels in Four Northeast Gulf of Mexico Drainages; Proposed Rule, June 6, 2006. Proposed determination of critical habitat for seven listed mussels created under court order (Civil Action No. 1:04 CV-0729-GET). Critical habitat identifies specific areas that are essential to the conservation of a listed species, and that may require special management considerations or protection. Section 7(a)(2) of the Act requires that Federal agencies ensure that actions they fund, permit, or carry out are not likely to result in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. The regulatory effect of the critical habitat designation does not extend beyond those activities funded, permitted, or carried out by Federal agencies. State or private actions, with no Federal involvement, are not affected.

Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation.

Biologists with expertise in current mussel occurrences reviewed the river reaches to identify missing streams or remove extra stream segments. Fields were added to the attribute table for river distance (in meters, miles, and kilometers), unit name, and unit number. The upstream boundary of a unit in an occupied stream is the first perennial tributary confluence or first permanent barrier to fish passage (such as a dam) upstream of the upstream-most current occurrence record. The downstream boundary of a unit in an occupied stream is the mouth of the stream, the upstream extent of tidal influence, or the upstream extent of an impoundment, whichever comes first, downstream of the downstream-most occurrence record. Survey locations are typically at road crossings, because that is where surveyors can most easily gain access to the stream. These road crossings do not typically represent a meaningful ecological boundary for longitudinal stream habitat conditions. Data layers defining map units were created with USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) GIS data. The 1:100,000 river reach (route) files were used to calculate river kilometers and miles. The following data sources were referenced to identify upstream and downstream extents of critical habitat units: USGS 7.5' quadrangles; Georgia Department of Transportation county highway maps; U.S. Census Bureau 1:100,000 TIGER line road data; 1993 Georgia digital orthographic quarter quads (DOQQs); 2004 Florida DOQQs; and DeLorme Atlas and Gazetteers for Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. The projection used in mapping all units was Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), NAD 83, Zone 16 North.

These data appear to be logically consistent. No feature errors were identified The data represents sites with known use by one of the seven species of mussels mapped. Mapped sites were identified based on survey results and the knowledge of biologists. Omissions may be possible due to the extent of coverage and difficulty of surveying all rivers and streams within the northeastern Gulf of Mexico drainages. Horizontal accuracy was not tested; however, data was created using USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) at a scale of 1:100,000.
