It is also strongly linked to water quality, estuary condition, eutrophication, and freshwater inflow. Impervious surface affects not only aquatic habitats and biodiversity, but also human communities. High levels of impervious surface cause more frequent flooding by increasing the volume of stormwater runoff, reduce the amount of available drinking water by preventing groundwater recharge, and pollute waterways where people swim and fish (Chesapeake 2023, USGS 2018, EPA 2018).<p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'> <p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'>The 90% permeable surface threshold (i.e., 10% impervious) is a well-documented signal of major, negative changes to aquatic ecosystems (Schueler et al. 2009). The 95% permeable surface threshold (i.e., 5% impervious) has been documented to impact Piedmont fish [tricolor shiner (Cyprinella trichroistia), bronze darter (Percina palmaris), Etowah darter (Etheostoma etowahae)] (Wenger et al. 2008) and estuarine species [blue crab (Callinectes sapidus), white perch (Morone americana), striped bass (M. Saxatilis) and spot (Leiostomus xanthurus)] (Uphoff Jr. et al. 2011). <p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;

Catchments are defined based on surface water features, watershed boundaries, and elevation data. It can be difficult to conceptualize the size of a catchment because they vary significantly in size based on the length of a particular stream segment and its surrounding topography—as well as the level of detail used to map those characteristics. <p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'> <p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in 0in 6pt 0.5in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'>To learn more about catchments and how they’re defined, check out these resources:<ul><li><a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://www.usgs.gov/center-news/which-nhd-product-do-you-need-and-which-do-you-have?qt-news_science_products=3#qt-news_science_products' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>An article from USGS explaining the differences between various NHD products</a></li><li>The glossary at the bottom of <a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://www.epa.gov/waterdata/waters-geoviewer-tutorial' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>this tutorial for an EPA water resources viewer</a>, which defines some key terms </li></ul><div style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; line-height:1.5; margin:0in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'><ul><li><a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/data/cusp.html' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>NOAA Continuously Updated Shoreline Product</a> (CUSP), accessed 1-11-2023; <a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/INFO/OnePagers/CUSP_One-Pager.pdf' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>read a 1-page factsheet about CUSP</a>; view and download CUSP data in the <a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://nsde.ngs.noaa.gov/' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>NOAA Shoreline Data Explorer</a> (to download, select “Download CUSP by Region” and select Southeast Caribbean)</li></ul></div><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:12pt 0in 4pt; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'>Mapping Steps<ul><li>NHDPlus HR catchments are currently only available for the islands of Puerto Rico, Vieques, Culebra, St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas. Because the catchments don’t cover many of the smaller islands, use CUSP to add islands larger than 900 sq m (the area of a 30 m pixel). Start by converting CUSP shoreline lines to polygons.</li><li>Dissolve interior waterbodies on islands to represent each island with only one polygon.</li><li>To eliminate alignment issues between the CUSP and catchment polygons, remove most island areas that overlap with or are near (<10 m from) the NHDPlus HR catchments, ensuring that all of Culebra is retained.</li><li>The original NHDPlus HR catchment data was missing coverage of a small area on the west coast of Puerto Rico (just east of Parcelas Aguas Claras). Create an additional catchment polygon for this missing area so that the indicator covers the entire island of Puerto Rico.<ul><li>The missing area is essentially outlined by extremely thin catchment polygons. To fill the gap, make a new rectangular feature class covering the missing area, then union it together with the original NHDPlus HR catchments. From that output, select the newly created polygon that fills in the hole. </li><li>The resulting polygon is a multipart feature, so use the explode tool to separate out just the missing catchment. Export it as a shapefile.</li><li>Union together the missing catchment with the other NHDPlus HR catchments and use that combined output as the catchment layer for the rest of the mapping steps.</li></ul></li><li>Remove islands created from the CUSP dataset that are less than 900 sq m.</li><li>Merge the remaining CUSP islands with the NHDPlus catchments to create a single set of polygons in which to calculate average permeable surface.</li><li>Convert the C-CAP land cover rasters for Puerto Rico (2 m resolution) and the U.S. Virgin Islands (separate downloads for St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix with 2.4 m resolution) from .img format to .tif using the Copy Raster function.</li><li>For each individual C-CAP layer, use the ArcPy Conditional function to make a binary raster assigning the impervious class a value of 100 (representing fully impervious) and all other classes a value of 0 (representing fully permeable). This mimics the data format of the 2019 National Land Cover Database used in the continental Southeast permeable surface indicator, which provides a continuous impervious surface value ranging from 0 to 100.</li><li>Using the ArcPy Mosaic to New Raster function, mosaic all 4 rasters into 1 raster. Reproject to match the Blueprint projection and the 2 m cell size of the original Puerto Rico C-CAP data.</li><li>Calculate the average percent of impervious surface for each NHDPlus catchment or CUSP island using the ArcPy Spatial Analyst Zonal Statistics “MEAN” function, assigning the average impervious surface value to each catchment or island.</li><li>Convert percent impervious to percent permeable using the formula [percent permeable = 100 - percent impervious] to maintain consistent scoring across Southeast Blueprint indicators (where high values indicate better ecological condition).</li><li>Reclassify the above raster into 4 classes, seen in the final indicator values below.</li><li>Clip to the Caribbean Blueprint 2023 subregion.</li><li>As a final step, clip to the spatial extent of Southeast Blueprint 2023. </li></ul><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);

The reduced size of these catchments may result in exaggerating their values in the indicator. </li></ul><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:12pt 0in 4pt; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'>Other Things to Keep in Mind<ul><li>The impervious surface in the C-CAP data has impervious surface as one class in the landcover, which differs from the 2019 NLCD percent developed impervious layer used in the continental Southeast version of the permeable surface indicator. NLCD 2019 is served up as a continuous raster ranging from 0-100% impervious.</li><li>We used the Caribbean island size and extent layer for this indicator and not others because landcover data was available for small islands that were not covered by catchments, which otherwise would have been excluded. This was not the case for other indicators. For example, while we use catchments in natural landcover in floodplains, the floodplains and flowlines did not occur on small islands, anyway, so we did not leave any data out by using the catchments only and not supplementing with the islands layer.</li></ul><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:12pt 0in 4pt; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'>Disclaimer: Comparing with Older Indicator Versions <p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'>There are numerous problems with using Southeast Blueprint indicators for change analysis.
