Description: Spring critical environmental features (CEFs) were digitized from construction plans, environmental assessments and City of Austin staff review and field observations.
Description: Combination of stream centerlines created from aerial orthophotography, planimetrics based on LIDAR data "Hydro_L" (a non continuous stream) and construction plans which has been updated and edited to be a continuous stream. Creeks_line_mains is the maintenance version of this layer. One item in the "Fea_Code" attribute domain has been renamed from "Concrete lined open channel" to "altered channel" and an additional domain descriptor has been added called "Altered channel (roadside)". The "Comments" field is used to further define an altered channel's sub-type as "Concrete lined". Features previously labeled as concrete lined in the "Fea-Code" field are identified as such in the "Comments" field. Identifying altered channels (roadsides) will be on an ongoing basis.
Description: The VCP feature class contains polygons representing the creeks, stormwater controls, and other property - including land purchased by the City of Austin to remove homes in flood or erosion prone areas, participating in the VCP. WPD employs and suprevises third-party contractors who mow, manage aquaitc vegetation, and when needed remove trash and debris.

Description: This dataset represents many of the known wetland CEFs that have been identified during the development review process. Wetland CEFs have been routinely added to this dataset from development review since the creation of the georeferenced database in 2009. Attempts have been made to add many known wetlands from historical reviews and site visits prior to 2009, however, it should be made clear that this dataset is incomplete and should not be used to determine presence/absence of features. Wetland CEFs were digitized into a versioned SDE database in ArcMap from construction plans, environmental assessments, City of Austin staff field observations and other sources such as National Wetlands Inventory Maps. The boundaries shown represent the best available information at the time of digitizing. Verification through wetland delineation may provide additional clarity for the purpose of development planning.

Description: The layer consists of narrow polygons that run parallel to the Lady Bird Lake shoreline. The shoreline polygons break at specific points determined most beneficial by the Field Operations staff.

Description: Areas that are within City of Austin publicly-owned land that have been identfied as Grow Zones in a collaboration between Parks and Recreation and Watershed Protection Departments. Contains primary contact information, acreage, watershed designations and a description of the prescribed maintenance regime that will enable restoration of healthy ecological function.
