Description
A characterization of the data, including its intended use and limitations.
Abstract:
The stormwater impaired waters layer is based on the 2016 Connecticut Integrated Water Quality Report (IWQR). All waters (rivers, lakes, estuaries) that were listed as impaired (EPA Category 5) in Table 3-4 of the report and all waters that were listed as having an adopted TMDL in place in Table 3-5 were identified. Both lists were then compared to the Impaired Waters guidance in Appendix D of the 2017 General Permit for the Discharge of Stormwater from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems Reissuance with Modifications.Waters with adopted TMDLs in the 2016 IWQR for the pollutants of concern listed in Appendix D (phosphorus, nitrogen, bacteria, mercury) of the General Permit were then identified and added to the Stormwater Impaired Waters layer.Waters without a TMDL in the 2016 IWQR were evaluated for causes that matched the causes listed in Appendix D for each pollutant. In addition, any water without a TMDL that mentioned stormwater as a potential cause was identified. These waters were then added to the Stormwater Impaired Waters layer. Waters in Table 3-4 of the IWQR that indicated any of the causes listed for Phosphorus or Nitrogen were listed as impaired for Phosphorus and Nitrogen per DEEP decision.The resulting list of stormwater impaired waterbodies were then matched up with the Connecticut 303(d) Impaired Waters 2016 (rivers, lakes and esturaries) waterbody features using the waterbody id. Information including stormwater pollutant of concern, cause, impaired designated use and TMDL can be identified by clicking on the layer(s) in the MS4 viewer or with the identify tool in a desktop application.Connecticut 303(d) Impaired Waters 2010 is a subset of Connecticut 305(b) Assessed Waters 2010. If one of the designated uses is categorized as not Fully Supporting the assessed waterbody is considered impaired. Additional information about Integrated Water Quality reporting is available at the CT DEEP website.
Purpose:
CT 2016 Impaired Rivers is 1:24,000-scale data. It depicts stormwater impaired waters layer is based on the 2016 Connecticut Integrated Water Quality Report (IWQR).  This layer should be used with the other assessed waterbody layers: Stormwater Impaired Estuary and Stormwater Impaired Lakes. This layer should only be viewed with other 1:24,000-scale map data such as water quality classifications, roads, towns, topographic quadrangles, and digital orthophotos. Not intended for maps printed at map scales greater or more detailed than 1:24,000 scale (1 inch = 2,000 feet.)

Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well. The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.
