Abstract:
The Boundary layer consists of lines representing the boundaries of Parcels and Legal Descriptions. (See the metadata for those two layers.) Boundary lines are the places that are surveyed in order to delimit the extent of Parcels and Legal Descriptions. The character and accuracy of Boundary locations is held in the attributes of the Points that are at the ends of Boundary lines. All the boundaries of Parcels and Legal Descriptions are covered by a Boundary line. Currently the Boundary layer has little functionality. The only distinction it makes is between upland boundaries and shorelines. In the future Boundary lines will have a richer set of attributes in order to accommodate cartographic needs to distinguish between types of boundaries. |

Harbor Line Inner. "Harbor line" means either or both: (a) A line (outer harbor line) located and established in navigable waters as provided for in section 1 of Article XV of the state Constitution beyond which the state shall never sell or lease any rights whatever to private persons (RCW 79.90.015). (b) A line (inner harbor line) located and established in navigable waters between the line of ordinary high tide and the outer harbor line, constituting the inner boundary of the harbor area (RCW 79.90.025).
Harbor Line Outer. "Harbor line" means either or both: (a) A line (outer harbor line) located and established in navigable waters as provided for in section 1 of Article XV of the state Constitution beyond which the state shall never sell or lease any rights whatever to private persons (RCW 79.90.015). (b) A line (inner harbor line) located and established in navigable waters between the line of ordinary high tide and the outer harbor line, constituting the inner boundary of the harbor area (RCW 79.90.025).
Harbor Line Side. A line connecting the end points of the Outer Harbor Line and the Inner Harbor Line.
Meander Line. "Meander line" means fixed determinable lines run by the federal government along the banks of all navigable bodies of water and other important rivers and lakes for the purpose of defining the sinuosities of the shore or bank and as a means of ascertaining the areas of fractional subdivisions of the public lands bordering thereon. (WAC 332-30-106) The traverse run at the line of mean high water of a permanent natural body of water. In original surveys, meander lines are not run as boundary lines. They are run to generally define the sinuosities of the bank or shore line and for determining the quantity of land in the fractional sections remaining after segregation of the water area. )Glossaries of BLM Surveying and Mapping Terms 1980)
Mean Higher High Tide. Also called mean higher high water. A tidal datum. The average of the higher high water height of each tidal day observed over the National Tidal Datum Epoch. For stations with shorter series, simultaneous observational comparisons are made with a control tide station in order to derive the equivalent datum of the National Tidal Datum Epoch.
Tide and Current Glossary, National Ocean Service, 1989
Mean High Tide. Also called mean high water. A tidal datum. The average of all the high water heights observed over the Nation Tidal Datum Epoch. For stations with shorter series, simultaneous observational comparisons are made with a control tide station in order to derive the equivalent datum of the National Tidal Datum Epoch.
Tide and Current Glossary, National Ocean Service, 1989
Mean Tide Level. Same as half-tide level. A tidal datum. The arithmetic mean of the mean high water and mean low water.
Tide and Current Glossary, National Ocean Service, 1989
Mean Sea Level. A tidal datum. The arithmetic mean of hourly heights observed over the National Tidal Datum Epoch. Shorter series are specified in name; e.g., monthly mean sea level and yearly mean sea level.
Tide and Current Glossary, National Ocean Service, 1989
Mean Low Tide. Also called mean low water. A tidal datum. The average of all the low water heights observed over the Nation Tidal Datum Epoch. For stations with shorter series, simultaneous observational comparisons are made with a control tide station in order to derive the equivalent datum of the National Tidal Datum Epoch.
Tide and Current Glossary, National Ocean Service, 1989
Mean Lower Low Tide. Also called mean lower low water. A tidal datum. The average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the National Tidal Datum Epoch. For stations with shorter series, simultaneous observational comparisons are made with a control tide station in order to derive the equivalent datum of the National Tidal Datum Epoch.
Tide and Current Glossary, National Ocean Service, 1989
Extreme Low Tide. Also called extreme low water. The lowest elevation reached by the sea as recorded by a tide gauge during a given period. The National Ocean Service routinely documents monthly and yearly extreme low water for its control stations.
Tide and Current Glossary, National Ocean Service, 1989
Established Line of Navigability. "Line of navigability" means a measured line at that depth sufficient for ordinary navigation as determined by the board of natural resources for the body of water in question.
WAC 332-30-106
Estimated Line of Navigability. A line of navigability estimated in location for purposes of the GIS. See the definition for "established line of navigability."
Limit of Navigability. The terminus of the navigable portion of a river.
Mean River Level. A tidal datum. The average height of the surface of a tidal river at any point for all stages of the tide observed over the National Tidal Datum Epoch. It is usually determined from hourly height readings. In rivers subject to occasional freshets, the river level may undergo wide variations and, for practical purposes, certain months of the year may be excluded in the determination of the tidal datum. For charting purposes, tidal datums for rivers are usually based on observations during selected periods when the river is at or near a low water stage.
Tide and Current Glossary, National Ocean Service, 1989
Ordinary High Water. "Ordinary high water" means, for the purpose of asserting state ownership, the line of permanent upland vegetation along the shores of nontidal navigable waters. In the absence of vegetation, it is the line of mean high water.
WAC 332-30-106
Ordinary Low Water. Ordinary: A nontechnical term synonymous with mean. Thus, ordinary low water is the equivalent of mean low water. (1994 Territorial Sea Plan Appendix D) In tidal waters this is the same as mean low tide.
Established Tidal Extent Line. The line which defines the limit of the area of tidal influence in a river, where this line has been established by an appropriated agency or by law.
Estimated Tidal Extent Line. The line which defines the limit of the area of tidal influence in a river, where this line has been estimated for purposes of the GIS.
One Mile City Limit Line. The line defining the terminus of the area in which a harbor area may exist in the State of Washington, being at a distance of one mile from the boundary of a city as measured along the shoreline.
Two Mile City Limit Line. The line defining the terminus of the area in which first class tidelands exist in the State of Washington, being at a distance of two miles from the boundary of a city as measured along the shoreline.
3 mile State/Federal Line. Article 24 of the Constitution of the State of Washington defines the Pacific Ocean Boundary to be "one marine league off shore." The ACSM Definitions of Surveying Terms defines a marine league a "a measure of distance commonly employed at sea, being equal to one-twentieth part of a degree of latitude, or three geographical or nautical miles." The same book, in the definition of a nautical mile says that "because of various lengths on the nautical mile in use throughout the world, due to differences in definition and the assumed size and shape of the earth, the International Hydrographic Bureau in 1929 proposed a standard length of 1,852 meters, which is known as the international nautical mile. The U.S. Departments of Defense and Commerce adopted this value in July 1, 1954." Adopting this definition of a nautical mile the U.S. Department of Interior Minerals Management Service has calculated the State of Washington Pacific Ocean boundary to be 5556 meters seaward of the most westerly points of land along the coast and from the most westerly point of any islands within one marine league of the coast. These most westerly points are referred to as "salient points." The DNR has adopted the U.S. Minerals Management calculated boundary for purposes of the GIS.
6 mile OCSLA Line. The Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act specifies special considerations for uses of lands within 3 nautical miles of the seaward boundary of any state. The State of Washington's seaward boundary is 3 nautical miles seaward of land and so the OCSLA line is 6 nautical miles seaward of land.
12 Mile Territorial Line. On December 27,1988, U.S. President Ronald Reagan signed proclamation 5928, which claimed a 12 mile territorial sea for the U.S. As established by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), the territorial sea is a belt of ocean which is measured seaward from the baseline of the coastal nation and subject to its sovereignty. This sovereignty also extends to the airspace above and to the seabed and subsoil. It is exercised subject to UNCLOS and other rules of international law relating to innocent passage, transit passage, archipelagic sea lanes passage and protection of the marine environment.
200 Mile EEZ Line. In March 1983, the United States declared its 200-mile exclusive economic zone by presidential proclamation, thereby asserting sovereign rights over the resources in the 200 miles extending beyond its coastline, including fishing and mineral resources, and jurisdiction to protect the marine environment.
