This image service depicts a Use Data Layer (UDL) that represents certain non-agricultural label uses and includes areas with a mixture of some constructed materials, but mostly vegetation in the form of lawn/turf grasses as used by US EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) in endangered species risk assessments. These UDLs represent anywhere specific pesticide uses could be applied based on a pesticide label, and not where pesticides are currently being used. UDLs generated using a number of national data sources including but not limited to United State Department of Agriculture's Cropland Data Layer, United State Geological Survey (USGS) National Landcover Database and National Oceanic & Atmospheric Organization (NOAA) Coastal Change Analysis Program. Updated routinely, this snapshot represents the data currently used by OPP.
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) provides a program for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and the habitats in which they are found. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Marine Fisheries Service of U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Organization (NMFS/NOAA) lead federal implementation of the ESA, though they are supported by other federal agencies, including the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), as part of the Section 7 consultation process. Section 7 of the ESA directs all Federal agencies to conserve endangered and threatened species and to use their authorities to ensure actions do not jeopardized the further existence of threatened and endangered species or adversely modify designated critical habitats. As part of the Section 7 consultation, Federal agencies work with USFWS and NMFS to identify species found within the jurisdiction of the United States that could be affected by actions carried out by the agency.
The US EPA's Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) is responsible for ensuring that Agency actions under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) are in compliance with ESA. OPP determines if ESA-listed species or their designated critical habitat may be affected by pesticide products. Pesticide products that "may affect" an ESA-listed species or its designated critical habitat may be subject to additional regulation.
Use Data Layers (UDLs) represent the potential pesticide application sites for agricultural and non-agricultural label uses and associated potential off-site impact areas. These UDLs supports the section 7 consultation process in the overlap analysis that identifies species found on or near these potential pesticide use locations. Generated from many different land cover and land use datasets, several methods have been employed to ensure sufficient accuracy and conservatism for decision making. All UDLs include off-site areas. Off-site areas are not directly applied by pesticides but could be impacted following application through spray drift or run-off. These areas are delineated by distance from the closest source use site from any direction. Several raster functions are available to symbolize the UDLs based on different off-site distances of interest. These include:
Use Site: Distances included (in meters)
0: Field or Use Site
Limited Extent: Distances included (in meters)
0: Field or Use Site
30: Directly adjacent / runoff to terrestrial habitats
150: Common limit for spray drift exposure concerns related to species population level effects
Full Extent: Distances included (in meters)
0: Field or Use Site
30: Directly adjacent / runoff to terrestrial habitats
305: Limits of spray drift model for ground application or airblast
792: Limits of spray drift model for aerial applications
1600: Runoff model limit to wetland habitat
Additional methods used in the development of specific UDLs and the associated data source(s) included below.
The Open Spaced Developed UDL represents certain non-agricultural label uses and includes areas with a mixture of some constructed materials, but mostly vegetation in the form of lawn/turf grasses. Impervious surfaces account for less than 20% of total cover. These areas most commonly include large-lot single-family housing units, parks, golf courses, and vegetation planted in developed settings for recreation, erosion control, or aesthetic purposes. No additional methods applied to depict areas where pesticide applications could occur to support decision making.
