1 Wetland and Riparian Mapping: An Overview of the Montana Program Meghan Burns, Catherine McIntyre, Karen Newlon Ecology Program Montana Natural Heritage Program Helena, MT
2 Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) Provides information on Montana s plants, animals and habitats Emphasizes those species or ecosystems of conservation concern Operated by the University of Montana as part of the Montana State Library s Natural Resource Information System (NRIS)
3 Montana Wetland and Riparian Mapping Center Goal: Create a statewide digital wetland and riparian layer Center started in 2006 with an EPA Pilot Grant Wetlands are one of the 13 framework layers in the Montana Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI) Mapping continues with funding from our many partners
4
5 Scale 1:5000 Mapping Conventions Map by USGS Topographic Quad Minimum Mapping Unit: - ~ 0.1 acres for wetlands - ~ 0.5 acres for riparian mapping - 3 meters width for streams and ditches
6 2005 NAIP CIR
7 2005 NAIP CIR with Mapping
8 2005 True Color NAIP
9 1990s Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quads
10 Digital Raster Graphics (DRG) with NHD
11 National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Classification Cowardin Code System: Riverine, Lacustrine, Palustrine Subsystem Class Water Regime A Temporarily Flooded B Saturated C Seasonally Flooded F Semi-permanently Flooded G Intermittently Exposed H Permanently Flooded K Artificially Flooded Potential Special Modifiers: b beaver h impounded x excavated f farmed d ditched/drained
12 National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Classification Mapping conventions follow USFWS system for western US (2009): System: Riparian Subsystem: Lotic or Lentic Class: Forested, Scrub-shrub, Emergent Additional levels of mapping: Subclass: Dead, Deciduous, Evergreen, Mixed Dominance type: Refers to specific plant species (e.g. cottonwood)
13 Old Mapping (1980s)
14 New Mapping
15 Farmed (f) Modifier Examples
16 Brownish-green colors (NAIP) Greyish color (CIR) Mottled texture Small irregular pools present PEMB
17 HGM Descriptors Hydrogeomorphic-type Code includes: Landscape position Landform Water flow path Waterbody types Based on geomorphic setting, water source, and hydrodynamics Describes position on landscape Links wetland type with wetland function
18 What is a Wetland Profile? Wetland landscape profiling describe the types, abundance and distribution of wetlands across a defined area It offers a rapid characterization of function and condition in a given subbasin or watershed, and help pinpoint management needs, including mitigation planning and conservation
19 Example - Sediment Retention Function All wetlands perform some sediment trapping functions Functions are especially significant near watercourses in agricultural areas Floodplain and InterfluveBasin wetlands have high ranking Upland Terrene Basin rated moderate Flat wetlands are rated low
20 Wetland Profiling An Example in the Ruby Valley
21
22 Wetland Landscape Profile: High Sediment RetentionFunction percent of wetlands in a given subwatershed(6th code hydrologic units) that have high sediment retention function
23

26 Conceptual Model of Rotating Basin Wetland Assessment and Monitoring Program ComprehensiveNWI Wetland Mapping Level 1 - Landscape Scale Assessment spatially balanced random sample Wetland Landscape Profiling Level 2 -Rapid Assessment Level 3 -Intensive Assessment
27 Rotating Basin Wetland Assessments Conducted first assessment in Milk-Marias basins in summer 2009 using historic NWI wetland mapping Second rotating basin assessment summer 2010 in SW Montana. Completing mapping in SE Montana in preparation for a third rotating basin assessment in 2011

32 Outreach and Education Surveyed potential NWI users and found: Many lack GIS knowledge Many don t have GIS software Many don t know how to use the NWI data Pilot Project in the Ruby Valley Created a conservation planning geodatabase Centered on the new wetland and riparian mapping Based on the FREE ArcExplorer software
33 NWI Map Distribution Currently: Download Geodatabasefrom Montana Natural Resource Information System (NRIS) Near Future: Download Geopdfsof provisional data Web Mapping Application NWI maps, wetland assessments, and Landcover inofmraiton Zoom, Query, and Print Maps
