description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>"This section identifies those areas in the Delta which because of their resource value should receive special consideration. Those areas...have been classified as Significant Resource Areas. These areas were selected based on several factors, which include significant areas of habitat, the presence of endangered plant or animal species, relative abundance of similar areas within the Delta and State, aesthetic and recreation value, concentrations of archaelogical or historical sites, level of present disturbance, and potential for future disturbance. In evaluating Delta lands to determine Significant Resource Areas, information was obtained from several data sources including consultations with individuals from various State, federal, local, and private organizations. Each area identified as having potential value was inspected using aerial photographs, in the field, or both." -this from the Delta Environmental Atlas, published 7/1979, by USACE. References to the DMRP in the attribute table refer to the Delta Master Recreation Plan. 1979 Delta Significant Resource Areas were made digital by heads up digitizing registered scanned pages from 1979 Delta atlas. About the scanned maps from the Atlas: Digital images were clipped prior to warping to reduce risk of error during processing due to excess background. Digital clipped images were registered to USGS DOQQ's in ArcView 3.x(ESRI) utilizing Imagewarp 2.x extension. 23 October, 2002, Projection: UTM meters zone 10, nad 83. Accuracy within acceptable 7.5 Minute USGS map accuracy standards (1:24000 scale). For this set, the minimum number of control points used was 10 with an average of 12 to 15 points used. The pixel size for this set is 27.0 feet per pixel</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
