Description
This data set contains vector polygons depicting locations for historical sites and archaeological sites, vector lines depicting locations for rail routes, and vector points depicting locations for abandoned vessels, beaches, campgrounds, EPA Facilities (RMP- Risk Management Plan), heliports, historical sites, landfills, oil facilities, renewable energy (solar, tidal, wind, etc.), staging areas, and waste disposal areas in North Carolina. Location-specific type and source information are stored in associated data tables (described below) designed to be used in conjunction with this spatial data layer.
This data set is a portion of the ESI data for North Carolina. As a whole, the ESI data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil, and include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. See also the PARKS/MANAGED AREAS (POINTS and POLYGONS), NAVIGATION/MARINE (POINTS and POLYGONS), POLITICAL/JURISDICTIONAL (LINES and POLYGONS), RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (POINTS and POLYGONS), and NAT_HAZARD (POLYGONS) data layers for additional human-use information.
