A documentation report follows the "Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata" (Standards) developed by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC), published June 8, 1994. As a convenience, Parts A and B employ the outline/headings contained in the Standards. Parts A and B are printed on paper and Part C is composed of digital products. Part B meets the technical requirements of the Standards.

This document is a three_part documentation report for a Geographic Information System (GIS) database developed, with Arc/Info software, by the Geologic Survey Branch, Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Part A is intended as a general purpose summary of the database. Part B is a more technical section included primarily for the benefit of GIS processors. Part C contains the digital products, the database and the associated documentation, which includes a copy of this publication.

The digital documentation in Part C contains two copies of this publication. One digital copy is stored as an ASCII file, NMNI.TXT. The other copy is in rich text format, NMNI.RTF. The digital database in Part C consists of an Arc/Info Export file NMNI.E00. Copy the Arc/Info Export file into a directory where you want it and then run the Arc/Info Import command. See Part C of this document for a complete list of the diskette's contents and for data file size.

The digital files are written to one 1.44 MB High Density data diskette. A directory of the files and a short explanation is contained in the ASCII file README.TXT on the data diskette.

This database was developed to satisfy specific project purposes. Users are advised to read the entire Documentation Report and to evaluate the suitability and limitations of the database for the user's purposes.

Arc/Info: a popular GIS software, used by the GSB

ASCII: abbreviation for `American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A set of codes for representing alphanumeric information in a format which any computer can read.

attribute: a characteristic of a geographic feature. For example, if the geographic feature is a river, then the attributes of the river are the river name, the flow rate, the chemical history, etc.

attribute accuracy: a measure of how well the reported characteristics actually match the real_world characteristics of a geographic feature

Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CDROM): an optical media which can store 650 Mb of information.

completeness: a description of the relation between the items represented in the database and the real world. For example, if a database contains water wells in Georgia, does it contain all the water wells in Georgia, or a defined subset of wells. If the database contains a defined subset of wells, does it contain every well in Georgia that meets the definition by which the subset was chosen.

Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata: a standard developed by the FGDC which specifies the information content of metadata for a set of digital geospatial data.

database: a logical collection of interrelated information, managed and stored as a unit on a computer or other storage media. A GIS database includes data about the spatial location and shape of geographic features recorded as points, lines, areas, as well as their attributes.

decimal degrees: a unit of measure for geographic coordinates. The conversion formula for decimal degrees is: Decimal Degrees = Degrees + Minutes/60 +Seconds/3600

Department of Natural Resources (DNR): a department of the government of the State of Georgia.

digital: refers to the process of conversion of information into machine language so that a computer can read, write, store, and process the information.

Digital Line Graph (DLG): computer files from the USGS which contain digital maps of transportation, hydrography, contours, and public land survey boundaries.

digital maps: a map is an abstract representation of the physical features of a portion of the Earth's surface graphically displayed on a piece of paper. When that piece of paper is converted into a form which the computer can use, the map is then digital.

diskette: a storage medium, usually measuring 3.5 inches in diameter, which is used to store or transfer information from one computer to another.

Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC): an inter_governmental committee established through the Office of Management and Budget and charged with the responsibility to coordinate various surveying, mapping, and spatial data activities to meet the needs of the Nation.

Geographic Information System (GIS): an organized collection of computer hardware, software, geographic data, and personnel designed to efficiently capture, store, update, manipulate, analyze, and display all forms of geographically referenced information.

label points: a single x,y coordinate which identifies an area, and holds a place in the database wherein the area's attribute information is stored.

latitude, longitude: a geographic reference system to locate positions on the Earth. Latitude and longitude are angles measured from the Earth's center to the position on the Earth's surface. Latitude measures angles in a north_south direction, while longitude measure angles in the east_west direction.

lineage: information about the events, parameters, and source data which constructed a geographic database, and information about the responsible parties.

logical consistency: an explanation of the fidelity of the relationships in the database. For example, for a geographic area, do the vector lines which create area boundaries join to encircle the area with no gaps. Or for example, for a particular attribute, are all the values given within a valid range.

PART A - GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE GIS DATABASE:

NON MUNICIPAL-NON INDUSTRIAL SURFACE_WATER
INTAKES WITHIN THE STATE OF GEORGIA,
PERMITTED THROUGH
DECEMBER 1999

This database contains locations and associated information for 10 permitted non municipal-non industrial surface_water intakes within the state of Georgia. Information in the database includes the permit_holder's name, permit number, intake number, water system identification number, county name, latitude and longitude coordinates (in degrees, minutes, seconds) for the facility's raw water intake, or the river bank when the raw water intake is located in the middle of the stream/lake, or other location if either of the previous are inaccessible, major river basin where the site is located, an 8_digit U.S. Geological Survey hydrologic unit code for the associated river basin, the name of the water body which supplies the water, and a code describing the location occupied at the facility while collecting GPS data. The locations were obtained by Geologic Survey Branch (GSB) personnel utilizing a Trimble Navigation GPS Pathfinder Basic Plus global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver for data collection while occupying either the facility's raw water intake, or the river bank when the raw water intake is in the middle of the stream/lake, or other location if either of the previous are inaccessible. The uncorrected positional data were corrected for various errors inherent in GPS positional data by processing with differential correction software and were entered into a GIS database.

The manufacturer's specifications for the Trimble Navigation GPS Pathfinder Basic Plus receiver states a horizontal positional accuracy of +/_ 5 meters. The database is being published at a scale of 1:24,000. The database is current through December 31st 1999.

2.0 Data Quality

This section contains information about the lineage, positional accuracy, attribute accuracy, logical consistency, and completeness of the database.

2.1 Attribute Accuracy

The information for many of the attributes for this database (see Section 5.0, Part B) were obtained from computer printouts supplied by EPD's Watershed Protection Branch. Information contained in the Watershed Protection Branch's computer database was copied from surface_water intake permit application files and was verified by the Watershed Protection Branch personnel who review surface_water intake permit applications.

Surface_water intake facility latitude_longitude coordinates were determined in the field utilizing Trimble Navigation GPS Pathfinder Basic Plus global positioning satellite (GPS) receivers for data collection while occupying either the facility's raw water intake, or the river bank when the raw water intake is located in the middle of the stream/lake, or other location if either of the previous are inaccessible. The uncorrected positional data were corrected for various errors inherent in GPS positional data by processing with differential correction software and were entered into a GIS database.

The manufacturer's specifications for the Trimble Navigation GPS Pathfinder Basic Plus receiver state a horizontal positional accuracy of +/_ 5 meters after differential corrections are applied. The database is being published at a scale of 1:24,000.

The county name, the major river basin name, and the hydrologic unit code for the river basin where the facility is located were added to the database by utilizing a database overlay capability of the GIS software (ARC/INFO version 7.1.1). The facility location was overlaid on a 1:100,000 scale county boundary database, and a 1:500,000 scale U.S. Geological Survey river basin database. The correct county name, river basin name, and hydrologic unit code were then automatically assigned to each facility location point by the software, based on the latitude_longitude coordinate of the facility.

2.2 Logical Consistency

Facility locations were overlaid with an existing county political boundary database to ensure spatial accuracy, and positions. Points were also compared against digital orthophotos and when datums were converted to NAD83 (same as DOQQs) points were consistent with DOQQs.

2.3 Completeness

This database contains the permitted non municipal-non industrial surface_water intakes located within the state of Georgia. The database is current through December 31st 1999.

2.4 Positional Accuracy

Surface_water intake facility latitude_longitude coordinates were determined in the field by GSB personnel utilizing a Trimble Navigation GPS Pathfinder Basic Plus global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver for data collection while occupying the raw water intake, or the river bank when the raw water intake is located in the middle of the stream/lake, or other location if either of the previous is inaccessible. The uncorrected positional data were corrected for various errors inherent in GPS positional data by processing with differential correction software and were entered into a GIS database. The manufacturer's specifications for the Trimble Navigation GPS Pathfinder Basic Plus receiver state a horizontal positional accuracy of +/_ 5 meters after differential corrections have been applied. The database is being published at a scale of 1:24,000.

2.5 Lineage

The source documents for this database were printouts of a computer database containing latitude_longitude coordinates and associated data for permitted non municipal-non industrial surface_water intakes as supplied by EPD's Watershed Protection Branch. For each facility, a facility name, permit number, intake number, water system identification number, address, county, river basin, source water_body name, and facility latitude_longitude coordinates were copied by GSB personnel from the source tables and manually entered onto field data sheets. These field data sheets were taken to the facility, where a GPS file name, date, time, location occupied, an uncorrected latitude_longitude coordinate (from the GPS receiver), and other field notes as necessary were added to the data sheet. GPS data files were downloaded in the office from the GPS receivers to a personal computer, and differential correction post_processing was done utilizing Trimble Navigation's Pathfinder Office 2.01 software. Base station data for differential post_processing were obtained from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs Trimble base station located atop the Sloppy Floyd Building, East Tower, in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Base station data were downloaded to the personal computer via a modem from a telephone dial_in computer bulletin board. The differentially corrected latitude_longitude coordinate was written on the field data sheet and compared to the uncorrected coordinate collected in the field. Data output in textfile format from the Pathfinder Office software was used as input in the creation of a dBase file. This file was then used (after transfer to the DG/UX workstation via file transfer protocol (ftp) in the creation of a geographic database (coverage) utilizing ARC/INFO version 7.1.1 GIS software, with each facility represented digitally as an entity point.

The above description is from Ref. Documentation Report 98-26 – Non Municipal-Non Industrial Surface Water Intakes Within the Coosa-Tallapoosa & Oconee River Basins in Georgia, Permitted Through December 1998. See also Ref. Documentation Report 98-28 - Non Municipal-Non Industrial Surface Water Intakes Within the Tennessee River Basin in Georgia, Permitted Through June 1998.

The above procedure(s) were performed for each basin resulting in a separate coverage in each case. The final step required to produce a single statewide coverage was to use the Arc/Info command Append to join the separate point coverages together.

3.0 Spatial Data Organization Information

This database contains the locations for permitted non municipal-non industrial surface_water intakes located within the state of Georgia. The facilities are represented digitally as 10 entity points.

4.0 Spatial Reference Information

This database is stored in the Albers Conic Equal Area projection with units in meters. Further information on the specific parameters used can be found in Part B, Section 4.0.

5.0 Entity and Attribute Information

Each point in the database has eleven attributes detailing pertinent information about the surface_water intake. Information includes the permit_holder's name, permit number, intake number, water system identification number, county name, latitude and longitude coordinates (in degrees, minutes, seconds) for the facility's raw water intake, or the river bank when the raw water intake is located in the middle of the stream/lake, or other location if either of the previous is inaccessible , major river basin where site is located, an 8 digit U.S. Geological Survey hydrologic unit code for the associated river basin, source water body name, and a code describing the location occupied at the facility while collecting GPS data (eg. raw water intake, bank, other).

6.0 Distribution Information

This database is maintained by the GSB, in their Technical Files, referenced as Non Municipal-Non Industrial Surface_Water Intakes within the state of Georgia, Permitted through December 31^st 1999.
