Watershed Boundaries with Summary Data (HU-8)

HU-8 basins attributed with various attributes related to identifying conservation opportunities within the Mississippi River Basin. See field map below.
  Field Name Description flag For internal use during data processing.  2 = Upper Missouri Basin (10U); 77 = Cedar River Basin Initiative; 88 = Fishers & Farmers Initiative; 7788 = (Priority for both Cedar River and Fishers & Farmers); 66 = Ohio River Basin FHP; 333 = Kansas WRAPS Priority MRBI "1" if identified as a priority by the NRCS' Mississippi river Basin Initiative, "0" if not. NWQI "1" if identified as a priority by the National Water Quality Initiative, "0" if not. HumDim "1" if intersecting a Human Dimension Study county, "0" if not. Dakotas "1" if identified as a priority by PPP LCC staff, "0" if not. pct_crop Percentage of basin covered by cropland (CDL 2013) (excludes hay, pasture, orchards, and vineyards). SPARROW "1" if "ag_nyld" is > 676.233, "2" if "ag_nyld" is < 676.233 but > 308.197, "0" if not meeting either of the preceding conditions. FHP "1" if identified as a priority by a Midwest Fish Habitat Partnership, "0" if not. FishFarm "1" if identified as a priority by the Fishers and Farmers Initiative, "0" if not. Other "1" if other priority watershed not covered in other fields, i.e. if "flag" = 77, 7788, 333 or "flag2" = 444, "0" if not. tot_nyld Accumulated nitrogen yield (kg/km2/yr) from all sources, 2002 MARB SPARROW Model. ag_nyld Accumulated nitrogen yield (kg/km2/yr) from all agricultural sources, 2002 MARB SPARROW Model. tot_dnyd Delivered accumulated nitrogen yield (kg/km2/yr) from all sources, 2002 MARB SPARROW Model. ag_dnyd Delivered accumulated nitrogen yield (kg/km2/yr) from all agricultural sources, 2002 MARB SPARROW Model. SNMP "1" if identified as a priority within a Gulf Hypoxia State Nutrient Reduction Strategy, "0" if not. Tile Indication of significant potential tile drainage in basin.  1 = basin centroid intersects county with at least 40,000 acres of tile drainage identified in either the NASS, NPWRC, or WRI datasets; 2 = basin centroid intersects county with at least 20,000 but less than 40,000 acres tile drainage. WQzone1 For internal use during data processing. ImpStk1 Sum of implementation interests identified by MRB/GHI in 2014. WQzone2 "1" if within Water Quality Priority Zone, "0" if not.  All watersheds with "1" value dissolved to create Water Quality Priority Zone layer. FWS "1" if identified as a priority by USFWS Region 4/SARP, "0" if not. EPA "1" if identified as a priority by the EPA Regions 4 or 6, "0" if not. flag2 444 = Watershed identified in 2014 post-Memphis meeting survey. Some watersheds may have multiple interests – reflected in [s2015]. s2015 Sum of implementation interests identified in 2014 post-Memphis meeting survey (based on [Flag2] = 444 basins). ImpStk15 Sum of all HU-8 based implementation interests/priorities as of July 2015 ([ImpStk1] + [s2015]). deparea_pct Percent of HU-8 covered by lowlands/depressions identified using topographic position index. Pilot_H4S "1" if basin is located within preliminary HU-4 pilot basin. cott_pct Percent of cotton cropland in basin (CDL 2013) rice_pct Percent of rice cropland in basin (CDL 2013) corn_pct Percent of corn cropland in basin (CDL 2013) mc2cs_pct Percent of combined corn/soybean cropland in basin (CDL 2013) allcrop_pct Sum of [cott_pct], [rice_pct], [mc2cs_pct] mn_cfa For internal use. Mean value of combined Conservation Focus Areas within basin. mn_cfa_hu8 For internal use. Combined sum of CFA and HU-8 implementation priorities [mn_cfa] + [ImpStk15] cotton "1" if basin contains at least 2% cotton; "0" if not. rice "1" if basin contains at least 2% rice; "0" if not. cornsoy "1" if basin contains at least 45% corn/soybeans combined or 20% corn; "0" if not. graz_pct Percent of surrogate grazing land in basin (CDL 2013) graze "1" if basin contains at least 25% surrogate grazing land; "0" if not. LCC Landscape Conservation Cooperative where centroid of basin is located. HiCrop15 "1" if "pct_crop" is > 49; "2" if "pct_crop" is > 39 but < 49; "0" if "pct_crop" is < 39.
