Lidar data will serve multiple purposes, but have primarily been collected to (1) evaluate active faulting, slope instability, thaw settlement, erosion, and other engineering constraints along proposed pipeline routes, and (2) provide a base layer for the state-federal GIS database that will be used to evaluate permit applications and construction plans. Lake polygons represent areas of water bodies (excluding streams and rivers) > 150 square meteres, present at the time of lidar data collection.\nProvide vector data depicting water bodies greater than 150 square meters.\n\nThis metadata file was written to document and describe, as a whole, all the lake polygon files generated for this project.

The metadata files provided by Watershed Sciences, Inc. have not been reviewed for accuracy or compliance with FGDC standards. The DGGS metadata standard extends the FGDC standard to include several elements that are required to facilitate internal data management.\nFor each data delivery area, reports documenting data collection methodology, accuracy, and quality control were provided by Watershed Sciences and the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI).

\nFairbanks\nAK\n99709-3707\nUSA\n\n(907)451-5029\n(907)451-5020\n\n\nData collection was supported by funding from the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS), the Alaska Gas Pipeline Project Office, the Office of the Federal Coordinator, and the Alaska Gasline Development Corporation (AGDC). Lidar data were collected and processed by Watershed Sciences of Corvalis, Oregon. Survey data were collected by McClintock Land Associates of Eagle River, AK. Lidar data and derivative products were checked for quality, completeness, and accuracy by State of Oregon Department of Geology & Mineral Industries based in Portland, OR.\nMicrosoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3; ESRI ArcCatalog 10; ESRI ArcGIS 10\n\n\n\nThe accuracy of the lake polygons depends on the horizontal and vertical positional accuracy of the lidar data, the accuracy of the laser return classification and the accuracy of the hydro-flattening process. Refer to the lidar delivery report and lidar QC report for more details on the accuracy of the lidar data for each delivery area, including a comparison of GCP elevations with bare-earth DEM elevations. More information on the hydro-flattening process can also be found in the lidar delivery report.\n\nThe following logical consistency tests were performed. 1) All lake polygons were checked to ensure that lidar data within the polygons was classified as water. 2) All lake edge lines were manually reviewed and edited in a 3-D environment by the contractor.\nPolygons were created for all lakes with an area greater than 150 square meters. Rivers and streams were excluded from the data set.\n\n\nAccuracies of lake boundaries is uncertain and variable depending on the accuracy of the lidar return classification and algorithms used for lake-edge detection, but is believed to be within a few meters.\n\n\n\n\nAcquisition: The lidar data were collected between September and October 2010 and between May and July 2011. The survey used the Leica ALS 60 system. Near-nadir scan angles were used to increase penetration of vegetation to ground surfaces. Ground-level GPS and aircraft IMU were collected during the flight.\n2010 and 2011\n\n\nProcessing lidar data: (1) Flight lines and data were reviewed to ensure complete coverage of the study area and positional accuracy of the laser points. (2) Laser point-return coordinates were computed using ALS Post Processor software, IPAS Pro GPS/INS software, and Waypoint GPS, based on independent data from the lidar system, IMU, and aircraft. (3) The raw lidar file was assembled into flight lines per return with each point having an associated x, y, and z coordinate. (4) Visual inspection of swath-to-swath laser point consistencies in the study area were used to perform manual refinements of system alignment. (5) Custom algorithms were designed to evaluate points between adjacent flight lines. Automated system alignment was computed based on randomly selected swath-to-swath accuracy measurements that consider elevation, slope, and intensities. Specifically, refinement in the combination of system pitch, roll, and yaw-offset parameters optimize internal consistency. (6) Noise (e.g., pits and birds) was filtered using ALS postprocessing software, based on known elevation ranges, and included the removal of any cycle slips.\n2010, 2011, 2012\n\n\nHydro-flattening: A combination of automated and manual detection and adjustment techniques was used to identify lake boundaries and water levels for closed water bodies with a surface area > 150 square meters.\n2010, 2011, 2012\n\n\n\n\nVector\n\n\n\n\n\nUniversal Transverse Mercator\n\n6\n\n0.999600\n-147\n0.000000\n500000.000000\n0.000000\n\n\n\n\ncoordinate pair\n\n1.000000\n1.000000\n\nmeters\nlakes\n\n\n\nNorth American Datum of 1983\nGeodetic Reference System 80\n6378137\n298.257222\n\n\n\n\n\n\nlakes.shp\nPolygons showing lakes greater than 150 square meters\nWatershed Sciences\nlakes\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys\n\n\nmailing and physical\n
