The Resource Condition Geodatabases contain geospatial data representing eleven resources which are of potential importance for park management as it relates to Solar Energy development in close proxity to NPS units. Resource condition data is the initial set of conditions from which the recommendtations for exclusion/AHPRC were drawn. Resource condition data includes: 1) Upstream Watersheds (NPScape - http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/monitor/npscape/measures.cfm), 2) Roadless Natural Areas (NPScape - http://science.nature.nps.gov/im/monitor/npscape/measures.cfm), 3)Threatened and Endangered Species Critical Habitat (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Critical Habitat Portal -http://criticalhabitat.fws.gov/crithab/), 4) Wetlands (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory (http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/), 5) Sensitive Soils - Water Erosion Potential - K-Factor and Slope, K-Factor- Whole Soil - All Components - Surface Layer (STATSGO) and Slope, 6) Sensitive Soils - Wind Erosion Classes, Wind Erodibility Groups - All Components (STATSGO), 7) Night Lights, Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) NOAA Average Light, 8) Wilderness Character - Naturalness (Proxy), Naturalness Landsacpe Metric - Theobald (2010).

Key Resources have been clipped to a 25 mile radius around park unit boundaries. Data is distributed in Arc 10.x file geodatabase format.
