Abstract:
Kenai Peninsula:
A plant community and locally tailored mapping classification has been created to map and describe functions of the wetlands on the Kenai Lowlands, Alaska. Between 2001 and 2004 Wetlands were mapped by using 1996 black & white stereo-paired aerial photographs printed at a scale of 1:24,000 to guide initial linewrok which was transferred to orthorectified imagery of the same 1996 photography. The transferred lines were then scanned and vectorized into an ESRI shapefile. A representative sample of wetlands were visited, and data collected, especially plant cover, and later, pH and specific conductance of surface water. The map is served via the Kenai Peninsula Borough's <http://www.borough.kenai.ak.us/gisdept/> GIS department; so that all that is required to view the map is access to the World Wide Web and a current web browser. The wetland polygons are served along with many layers including high resolution satellite imagery, LiDAR elevation, and parcel lines. The wetland polygons are linked to a web of descriptive documents incorporating plant, soils, and hydrology data and photographs.
Homer:
In 2004 the city of Homer and the Bridge Creek Watershed Protection District were added. These areas were mapped at a scale of 1:12,000.
Kenai Mountains:
In 2007 the areas around Moose Pass, Hope, Cooper Landing and a few other areas in the Kenai Mountains were added. The polygons have been field checked, and many have been edited, although a final check was never completed. Data are mostly accurate, but still provisional.
Seward:
In 2005 the area around Seward, including the Bear Creek Flood Service area were added. This area was mapped at a scale of 1:24,000.
Matanuska-Susitna Borough:
In 2007 mapping in the Matanuska-Susitna Borough began. Initially field photos were created by printing 2004 Digital Orthorectified Quadrangles (DOQs: USDA 2004) imagery overlain with both National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) (Hall, 2001. USF&WS, Anchorage, AK) and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) hydric soils (Clark and Kautz, 2002. NRCS, Palmer, AK) at 1:12,500 onto 8.5”x11” paper. During the summer of 2007 we visited 132 sites in the 834 final wetland polygons that were delineated.  During the fall of 2007, new wetland boundaries were delineated over 1: 24,000 stereo-paired imagery using the soil survey, NWI and our field visits as guidance. The boundaries were transferred to corrected imagery and scanned and vectorized.
In 2008 and 2009 wetlands were delineated over 1:18,000 stereo-paired aerial photography flown in May and October using experience and NRCS soils mapping as a guide. The lines were transferred to orthorectified transparenciesthen scanned and digitized into an ESRI polygon shapefile by Resource Data, Inc. in Anchorage. The polygons were then assigned map units in ArcView. A total of 788 polygons were visited in the field, where varying amounts of plant cover, soils and water chemistry data were collected, and a photograph was taken. The shapefile was edited to reflect field findings. All polygons were combined into a single shapefile; adjoining polygon edges were edited and matched, heads-up in ArcView.
In 2011, most wetlands were delineated by Karyn Noyes over 1:18,000 stereo-paired aerial photography flown in October of 2005 and September of 2007 using experience and NRCS soils mapping as a guide. The lines were transferred to mylar over orthorectified transparencies. The mylars were digitized into an ESRI polygon shapefile by Resource Data, Inc. in Anchorage. The polygons were then assigned map units in ArcView. Not all polygons were covered by the stereo-paired photography, however, so the remaining were delineated heads-up in ArcMap. Following field visits, additional polygons were delineated by Mike Gracz on 24" x 24" stereo pairs flown 21 September 1985 (flight line 5, photo 3, along the upper portion of the Zero Lake Road) at a nominal scale of 1" = 3000'. These lines were used to guide additional heads-up digitizing in ArcMap 10.0. Sixty-five polygons were visited in the field 1-7 August 2011, and the shapefile edited based on field findings, then merged with the shapefile covering the entire area mapped to date.
Purpose:
A wetland classification and shapefile/Google Earth *.kmz file is also available for management and planning. It has yet to be updated with the wetlands mapped in 2011. The mapping classification is based on hydrology and locally relavant landforms in order to best predict wetland function.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Logically consistent: polygon geometry clean, "Area" field indicates no sliver polygons. No formal report generated.
Completeness_Report:
Exact wetland boundaries are perhaps impossible to delineate. The definition of a wetland can change, and is somewhat open to interpretation. This file represents an attempt to delineate every polygon that could be considered a wetland using the criteria outlined in the 1987 Army Corps Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory. (1987). "Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual", Technical Report Y-87-1, US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station. Vicksburg, MS). To generate the file, stereo paired aerial photos and relatively quick field visits, along with National Wetland Inventory maps and data were used. Wetlands considered that may be non-jurisdictional are also included, such as Depressions and braided river valleys.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Exact boundaries of wetlands cannot always be delineated, even with extensive fieldwork. The file was generated using 1:24,000 (Kenai Lowlands & Seward); 1:12,000 (Homer); 1:24,000 and 1:18,000 (Matanuska-Sustina Borough, 2007 and 2008-2009 & 2011 respectively) stereo paired aerial photographs, linework was transferred, using a plastic pencil, to frosted mylar registered over pre-punched film positives of aerial imagery.

Type_of_Source_Media: Aerial Photographs

Source_Contribution:
Basis for evaluation of wetland locations on the landscape. Initial line work drawn on plastic overlays on stereo-paired photographs. Approximately 20% of the wetlands with values in the field CODE in the range between 78000-80354, that are located near Willow and along the Willow-Fishook Road and were not covered by stereo-paired aerial photography were digitized heads-up.

Attribute_Label: Geomorph
Attribute_Definition:
Wetland geomorphic category, the highest level of the classification. There are 14 geomorphic categories defined in this classification
Attribute_Domain_Values:
Enumerated_Domain:
Enumerated_Domain_Value: Depression
Enumerated_Domain_Value_Definition: Wetland in an ice-block depression not discernably connected to navigable waterway
Enumerated _domain_value: Drainageway
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Wetland in a relict glacial drainageway feature
Enumerated _domain_value: Tide-influenced Drainageway
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Wetland along Knik arm at the upper reaches of the extreme high tides of the 18.6 year tidal cycle
Enumerated _Domain_Value: Floating Island
Enumerated _Domain_Value_Definition: Floating peat island on a lake
Enumerated _Domain_Value: Headwater Fen
Enumerated _Domain_Value_Definition: Peatland at the headwaters of a low-order stream, at or near treeline
Enumerated _domain_value: Kettle
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Wetland in ice-block depression, discernably connected by other wetlands or surface water to a navigable waterbody
Enumerated _domain_value: Lake
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Open waterbody greater than 20 acres (and deeper than six feet)
Enumerated _domain_value: Lakebed
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Large peatland on relict glacial lake deposits
Enumerated _domain_value: Late Snow
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Higher elevation willow-dominated wetland in the Caribou Hills, underlain by relatively impervious till; wetness maintained by late-season snowpack
Enumerated _domain_value: Riparian
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Valley-bottom wetland adjacent to stream or river reach
Enumerated _domain_value: VLD Trough
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Peatland in the trough of the Very Large Dune features (Weidmer, et al. 2010, Quaternary Research 73:413-424) in the Meadow-Beaver Lakes area near Wasilla, Alaska.
Enumerated _domain_value: Discharge Slope
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Wetland over mineral soil on a slope, usually at a foot- or toeslope break where shallow groundwater discharges to near the surface
Enumerated _domain_value: Spring Fen
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Wetland in an ice-block depression maintained by a steady supply of shallow groundwater. Confined to the area between about Wasilla and Palmer in the Matanuska Valley where potential evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation.
Enumerated _domain_value: Wetland/Upland
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Wetland area greater than 30% in an area where wetlands mixed with uplands on a scale too small to delineate separately (values in MatSu map unit names indicate percentages of wetland to the nearest 10, estimated from imagery). These map units can be composed of wetlands in any geomorphic category, but Discharge Slope and Depression wetlands are the most common.
Enumerated _domain_value: Tidal
Enumerated _domain_value_definition: Wetland influenced by annual tidal cycle
