Layer: Rare Species Habitat (ID: 24)

Parent Layer: Conservation

Name: Rare Species Habitat

Display Field: PRIHAB_ID

Type: Feature Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: Estimated and Primary Habitat of Rare Speices. These two layers from the NHESP weer combined for simplicity and a "Type" field was added to distinguish them. The Priority Habitats of Rare Species datalayer contains polygons representing the geographic extent of Habitat of state-listed rare species in Massachusetts based on observations documented within the last 25 years in the database of the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program (NHESP). Priority Habitats are the filing trigger for proponents, municipalities, and other stakeholders for determining whether or not a proposed project must be reviewed by the NHESP for compliance with the Massachusetts Endangered Species Act (MESA). The Priority Habitats presented here are those published in the 12th Edition of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas, and are effective beginning October 1, 2006. In July, 2005 major revisions were made to the MESA regulations (321 CMR 10.00). These revised regulations clarify filing requirements and procedures, set timelines for agency response, establish filing fees, expand and add definitions, and formalize the appeal process for agency decisions. If your project or activity falls within Priority Habitat and does not meet a MESA filing exemption (321 CMR 10.14), then you must file directly with the NHESP pursuant to MESA. For more information, please see the Regulatory Review section of the NHESP website. Estimated Habitats are for use with the Wetlands Protection Act regulations (310 CMR 10.00). The Estimated Habitats of Rare Wildlife datalayer contains polygons that are a subset of the Priority Habitats of Rare Species. They are based on occurrences of rare wetland wildlife observed within the last 25 years and documented in the NHESP database. They do not include those areas delineated for rare plants or for rare wildlife with strictly upland habitat requirements. The Estimated Habitats presented here are those published in the 13th Edition of the Massachusetts Natural Heritage Atlas, and are effective beginning October 1, 2008.
