Canada_Lynx_Review_Area_2008

Data format: Shapefile

File or table name: Canada_Lynx_Review_Area_2008

Coordinate system: Universal Transverse Mercator

Abstract: This shapefile was agreed upon as part of a Programmatic Agreement between the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Maine Department of Transportation as the area where impacts to the federally threatened Canada Lynx would have to be considered for federal-aid highway projects. The southern boundary of the review area is roughly defined by Routes 2, 16, and 6. The boundary was digitized from the MEDOT.RoadsAllPubRds layer at 1:200,000 scale. This agreement is subject to review every 5 years, or within 60 days of any federal statutory or regulatory changes.

FGDC and ESRI Metadata:
Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.
