Abstract: WCHYDRO and WBHYDRO together make up the most complete and up to date hydrography layer for the State of Washington. WCHYDRO contains watercourses represented as arcs or lines. These occur alone as single arc watercourses representing streams, ditches, or pipelines, or as centerlines through water body polygons such as double-banked streams, lakes, impoundments, reservoirs, wet areas, or glaciers. WBWS (WBHYDRO) and WC (WCHYDRO) are edited daily and simultaneously; updates are posted weekly for internal DNR use and monthly for external use. Attribute interrelationships within WBWS (WBHYDRO) and spatial and attribute interrelationships between WBWS (WBHYDRO) and WC (WCHYDRO) are maintained.

Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog.

Description:

Abstract:

WCHYDRO and WBHYDRO together make up the most complete and up to date hydrography layer for the State of Washington. WCHYDRO contains watercourses represented as arcs or lines. These occur alone as single arc watercourses representing streams, ditches, or pipelines, or as centerlines through water body polygons such as double-banked streams, lakes, impoundments, reservoirs, wet areas, or glaciers. WBWS (WBHYDRO) and WC (WCHYDRO) are edited daily and simultaneously; updates are posted weekly for internal DNR use and monthly for external use. Attribute interrelationships within WBWS (WBHYDRO) and spatial and attribute interrelationships between WBWS (WBHYDRO) and WC (WCHYDRO) are maintained.

Purpose:

The Watercourse (WC, WCHYDRO) and Water Body/Water Shoreline (WBWS, WBHYDRO) Hydrography layers support the implementation of the new Forest Practices Fish Habitat Water Type Map. The primary purpose of these data is to aid in the application of timber harvest and other forest practices regulations and activities by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) within the forested areas of the state. Other uses include cartography and analysis where hydrographic data is required.

Supplemental information:

Within DNR, the Watercourse and Waterbody/Water Shoreline datasets are available through ROPA as WCHYDRO and WBHYDRO Personal GeoDatabase Feature Classes and through /database/covers as WC and WBWS arc/node topology ARC/INFO coverages. Externally, these data sets are available for download through the DNR website as WC and WBWS in zipped ARC/INFO export files (.e00).

Attribute definition:

The original Water Type Classifications used in conjunction with DNR Forest Practices regulations between 1975 and (1) March 1, 2005 for Western Washington and (2) March 1, 2006 for Eastern Washington. DNR will neither keep the FP_WTRTY_1975_CD current nor synchronized with on-going changes to the new water typing system. The new system was implemented March 1, 2005 for Western Washington and March 1, 2006 for Eastern Washington. Generally, the FP_WTRTY_1975_CD and FP_WTRTY_1975_DT fields are not edited under the new water typing system. Neither FP_WTRTY_1975_CD nor FP_WTRTY_1975_DT are edited for new system spatial adds or tabular only database changes. For new system spatial updates these fields are edited ONLY to transfer existing values to an arc that is added as part of a spatial update to an existing stream (a realign). Basically, once the new scheme was turned "on" the FP_WTRTY_1975_CD was frozen. Except as noted above, FP_WTRTY_1975_CD will be blank or 0 for any new arc added since the implementation dates. Note: the water typing system was developed solely for the regulation of forest practices (WAC 222).

Attribute definition:

DNR Forest Practices Fish Habitat Water Type Code. Implemented for Western Washington March 1, 2005 and for Eastern Washington March 1, 2006. Used in conjunction with WAC 222-16-030 and 222-16-031 and the Washington Forest Practices Board Manual. For stream features, this Code is based on a multi-parameter, field verified geographic information system (GIS) logistic regression model. The water typing model is based on thousands of field surveys of fish presence and fish habitat. Other model parameters are gradient, elevation, basin size and average annual precipitation derived from the US Geological Survey's digital elevation model (DEM) for the state of Washington. Technical considerations required that the model be developed on a "virtual" stream network system derived from the DEM database. The DEM-based model results were then transferred to the DNR's hydrographic GIS "map" (WCHYDRO) in order to implement the new habitat based water types.

Attribute:

*Attribute label: FP_MDLEXP_CD

*Attribute alias: FP_MDLEXP_CD

Attribute definition:

The FP_MDLEXP_CD (Forest Practices Model Explanation Code) is used to explain how each stream segment within WCHYDRO was assigned the habitat-based water type (FP_WTRTY_CD) value. [See Forest Practices Rules: WAC 222-16-030, 222-16-031]. Because not all streams were coded directly as a result of the fish habitat modeling process, an additional coding scheme was needed to distinguish modeled from non-modeled streams and other hydrographic features. For example, an "F " stream with an FP_MDLEXP_CD code of "F1" was modeled as fish habitat because a match was found on the "virtual" DEM-modeled stream network. However, an "F" stream with an FP_MDLEXP_CD of "F2" was not modeled because there was no matching "virtual" stream. Used only in conjunction with the Forest Practices Fish Habitat Water Type System.

Wet area. To avoid any legal or jurisdictional implication of the use of the term "wetland", the term "wet area" is used in Hydro to describe lands including swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas such as wet meadows, river overflows, mudflats, and natural ponds. Used herein, a "wet area" is an area characterized by periodic inundation or saturation, hydric soils, and vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Any number of tidal and nontidal areas characterized by saturated or nearly saturated soils most of the year that form an interface between terrestrial and aquatic environments; including freshwater marshes around ponds and channels, and brackish and salt marshes.

Output scale. The map scale at which a given feature may be displayed. Some hydrological features are too small to display at a scale smaller than 1:24,000. This attribute uses the scale denominator to indicate the largest scale at which the feature should be displayed. All data in the data set is appropriate to display at 1:24,000. This attribute is intended to be used when displaying these data at different scales. For example, if creating a map at a scale of 1:100,000 the data that is appropriate to display at 1:24,000 may appear too dense and therefore the map may not be legible. This attribute could be utilized to "de-densify" the data.

Abstract: WC (WCHYDRO) and WBWS (WBHYDRO) (collectively known as DNR HYDRO) together make up the most complete and up to date hydrography layer for the State of Washington. WBWS (WBHYDRO) contains waterbodies represented as polygonal features and shorelines represented as polygon perimeters. WBWS (WBHYDRO) includes features such as Puget Sound, lakes, wet areas, reservoirs, impoundments, glaciers, islands, and dams. WBWS (WBHYDRO) and WC (WCHYDRO) are edited daily and simultaneously; updates are posted weekly for internal DNR use and monthly for external use. Attribute interrelationships within WBWS (WBHYDRO) and spatial and attribute interrelationships between WBWS (WBHYDRO) and WC (WCHYDRO) are maintained.

Description:

Abstract:

WC (WCHYDRO) and WBWS (WBHYDRO) (collectively known as DNR HYDRO) together make up the most complete and up to date hydrography layer for the State of Washington. WBWS (WBHYDRO) contains waterbodies represented as polygonal features and shorelines represented as polygon perimeters. WBWS (WBHYDRO) includes features such as Puget Sound, lakes, wet areas, reservoirs, impoundments, glaciers, islands, and dams. WBWS (WBHYDRO) and WC (WCHYDRO) are edited daily and simultaneously; updates are posted weekly for internal DNR use and monthly for external use. Attribute interrelationships within WBWS (WBHYDRO) and spatial and attribute interrelationships between WBWS (WBHYDRO) and WC (WCHYDRO) are maintained.

Purpose:

The Watercourse (WC, WCHYDRO) and Water Body/Water Shoreline (WBWS, WBHYDRO) Hydrography layers support the implementation of the new Forest Practices Fish Habitat Water Type Map. The Forest Practices Water Typing system was developed and is maintained solely for the regulation of forest practices (WAC 222). The primary purpose of these data is to aid in the application of timber harvest and other forest practices regulations and activities by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Other uses include cartography and analysis where hydrographic data is required.

Process description:

Data for forested state, private, and some federal and tribal lands were compiled by DNR Photogrammetry unit from 1992 through 1994. Data for all other areas of the state were received in various formats from federal agencies and processed by DNR GIS Cartography unit from 1995 through 1996. Data received a major data model revision and conversion completed in May 2004. Data receives continuous updates through the Timber/Fish/Wildlife Agreement Water Type Modification Form review/concurrence process. Data deployed upon completion of new fish habitat based Water Type attribution (Western Washington, March 1, 2005; Eastern Washington, March 1, 2006).

Attribute:

*Attribute label: WB_LLID_NR

*Attribute alias: WB_LLID_NR

Attribute definition:

Water body longitude/latitude identifier number (LLID). All polygonal features are assigned an LLID. These include water bodies, islands, and dams, etc. The LLID has 13 characters, is based on the position of the polygon label point, and is created by concatenating the decimal degree values (to four places of precision) of the coordinates (minus the decimal points). LLID numbers are generally unique across WBHYDRO. A tiny precentage (0.06%) on July 11, 2006) of WB_LLID_NRs have a frequency greater than 1. These records represent features made up of more than one polygon. For example, a stream may be made up of several polygons connected by a single arc watercourse; the polygons will all have identical WB_LLID_NRs. There is no valid default value for this field and it must be populated.

Marsh, wet area, swamp, bog. To avoid any legal or jurisdictional implication of the use of the term "wetland", the term "wet area" is used in Hydro to describe lands including swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas such as wet meadows, river overflows, mudflats, and natural ponds. Used herein, a "wet area" is an area characterized by periodic inundation or saturation, hydric soils, and vegetation adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Any number of tidal and nontidal areas characterized by saturated or nearly saturated soils most of the year that form an interface between terrestrial and aquatic environments; including freshwater marshes around ponds and channels, and brackish and salt marshes.
