Year One Proposal
• Players
– West Virginia GIS Technical Center (Fedorko)
– Natural Resource Analysis Center (Strager)
– West Virginia Department of Environmental
Protection (Daugherty)
– West Virginia stewardship community

Task 1 (cont.)
Users
• Establishment of NHD
!
Group
• Establishment of Stewardship mechanisms,
including:
– Mailing list of updates
– Error reporting tools
– Training (also related to task 2)
Task 2: Known errors
• Utilize NRAC/WVDEP compilation of errors
• NRAC and WVGISTC will edit as many 8 digit
HUs as possible during project period
Task 3: FEMA flood zones targeted
editing (research)
• Research the feasibility of utilizing FEMA
DFIRM flood zones for targeting areas in NHD
for geometric edits
Task 4: High change areas targeted
editing (research)
• Work with WVDEP to develop methodology, data sharing
mechanisms, etc., to most efficiently edit areas of high
change; e.g. surface mining areas, road construction, etc.
Funding
• Total target is ~$50 K
• Proposal is directed towards USGS and
includes a funding match from WV Office of
GIS Coordination
• Funding will be split between NRAC and
WVGISTC
Future Considerations
• Manmade drainage features
• Information exchange, particularly in high
change areas
• Long term stewardship funding
Discussion
• We need feedback!
