Description:

Abstract:: Stream and river arcs likely to qualify as "shorelines of the state" as defined in the Shoreline Management Act (SMA), RCW 90.58.030. SMA jurisdiction begins where stream flow exceeeds 20 cubic feet per second mean annual flow (cfsmaf). Jurisdiction continues downstream from that 20 cfsmaf point to the final receiving water or catchment basin.
Purpose:: Ecology suggests local governments use this data when they comprehensively update their shoreline master program in accordance with WAC 173-26. See also WAC 173-18-044.
Supplemental_Information:: The flow data was compiled by the US Geolologal Survey (USGS) for Ecology and published in three USGS water resources investigation reports numbered 96-4208, 98-4160, and 03-4042. The arcs were selected from the Washington Hydrography Framework Water Course layer (1:24,000 scale).

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:: Data attributes values are created and updated within the context of rigorous editing routines. Values are checked for validity within a group of specific ranges or within specific sets of codes. Attribute accuracy of data within the initial phase was tested by manually comparing digital products to the source maps.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Specified spatial processing tolerances are used to snap arc over-shoots to proximal nodes. Remaining anomalous objects falling outside of specified tolerances are flagged by the software and manually corrected for logical consistency.

Completeness_Report:

Spatial completeness: Statewide coverage. Data Attribute Completeness: Complete.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:: Accuracy of this dataset is based upon the use of USGS source quadrangles which are compiled to meet National Map Accuracy Standards. NMAS horizontal accuracy requires that at least 90 percent of points tested are within 0.02 inches of the true position (on the map). The digital data are estimated to contain a horizontal positional error of less than or equal to 0.003 inches standard error in the two component directions relative to the source quadrangle. Comparison to the graphic source is used as control to assess digital positional accuracy. Cartographic offsets may be present on the graphic source, due to scale and legibility y constraints.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:: The vertical positional accuracy is based upon the use of USGS source quadrangles which are compiled to meet NMAS. NMAS vertical accuracy requires that at least 90 percent of well defined points tested be within one half contour interval of the correct value. Comparison to the graphic source is used as control to assess digital positional accuracy. The file has undergone digital revision. Accuracy of the digital data meets the class 1 positional accuracy specifications in the draft United States National Cartographic Standards for Spatial Accuracy.
