Description: CPAD is suitable for a wide range of planning, assessment, analysis and display purposes. CPAD should not be used as the basis for regulatory, legal or other specific governmental actions. CPAD data from this analysis was associated with The Nature Conservancy of California's 2013 Western San Joaquin Valley Least Conflict Solar Energy Assessment and was used to represent areas that had a legal or administrative designation that prevents development. There were 534,499 acres of excluded areas within the study area. These areas of exclusion were used as an overlay on the least conflict assessment and solar development compatibility maps. Excluded areas included land with the following designations: National Park Service; Wilderness Areas; Wilderness Study Areas; BLM National Conservation Areas; National Recreation Areas; National Monuments; private preserves and reserves; Inventoried roadless areas on United States Forest Service (USFS) lands; National Historic and Scenic Trails; National Wild, Scenic, and Recreational Rivers; conservation mitigation banks under conservation easements approved by DFW, FWS, Army Corps of Engineers, and California State Parks; DFW Wildlife Areas and Ecological Reserves; State Wildlife Management Areas; and Department of Defense (DOD). Not all of these designations are found within the study area. The California Protected Areas Database (CPAD) contains data on lands owned in fee by governments or non-profits that are protected for open space purposes. Data includes all such areas in California, from small urban parks to large national parks and forests, mostly aligned to assessor parcel boundaries. Data is collected by Holdings (parcels) which are aggregated to Units (commonly named areas), and related to an Agencies table. The report that describes the methods, assumptions and processing of data to generate the CPAD exclusion data is: Butterfield, H.S., D. Cameron, E. Brand, M. Webb, E. Forsburg, M. Kramer, E. O’Donoghue, and L. Crane. 2013. Western San Joaquin Valley least conflict solar assessment. Unpublished report. The Nature Conservancy, San Francisco, California. 26 pages. The objective of this assessment is to characterize the land use and conservation constraints and opportunities associated with siting solar energy facilities in the WSJV. This approach identifies areas with high conservation value that are important to avoid when planning energy infrastructure, as well as areas of lower environmental conflict potentially suitable for development. While the approach we take focuses on refining the conservation values in the study area, we also classify the region’s agricultural resources using simple, broadly applicable classes to begin to assess trade-offs or synergies between agricultural production, habitat conservation and energy development. In our assessment of biodiversity conservation values, we focus on core and high quality habitat for multiple listed species, including kit fox, and emphasize the preservation of connectivity for kit fox and other wide-ranging species. All users must review the CPAD License Agreement before using the dataset. In general, the License Agreement allows any use except the redistribution of CPAD as part of commercial use - read the License Agreement for details. Free use of CPAD by governmental agencies, planning consultants, non-profits and other such groups is fully allowed and encouraged. Organizations seeking to use CPAD for a commercial venture must contact GreenInfo Network to discuss such uses. This analysis is meant to be a first initial screen on values to consider when planning facilities, it is not meant to determine permitting or regulatory processes.
