Data

The Energy Zones Mapping Tool currently includes the 408 Geographic Information System (GIS) data layers listed below. Over time, data layers will be added, updated, and removed. The GIS layers are compiled from a variety of sources for the purpose of screening-level analysis, and each has a limit to the scale, currency, and accuracy of the data.

		Midwest Wind Energy MSHCP GI Network	Ecology	The Conservation Fund
		Abstract: This layer was created as part of the green infrastructure network design being developed for the Midwest Wind Energy Multi-Species Habitat Conservation Plan (MSHCP) Section 6 grant project. As part of The Conservation Fund's (The Fund) Section 6 grant scope of work, The Fund supported the design and coordination of a consistent and effective mitigation approach across USFWS Region 3 in partnership with the States, American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), and USFWS. The Fund utilized a green infrastructure approach that will help AWEA and the States integrate species habitat mitigation within the context of an interconnected network of lands and waters, providing multiple benefits across the entire range of AWEA member activities in the eight affected states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. Such an approach will also ensure a consistent methodology is used to determine selection of mitigation projects. The methodology employed in this process has been accepted by the 8 states participating states in the process. Metadata File Publication Date: May 2014 - Data last updated: 2014-08-07
