			<abstract>This data set represents the area of surficial geology types in square meters compiled for every catchment of NHDPlus for the conterminous United States. The source data set is the "Digital data set describing surficial geology in the conterminous US" (Clawges and Price, 1999).  

The NHDPlus Version 1.1 is an integrated suite of application-ready geospatial datasets that incorporates many of the best features of the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and the National Elevation Dataset (NED). The NHDPlus includes a stream network (based on the 1:100,00-scale NHD), improved networking, naming, and value-added attributes (VAAs). NHDPlus also includes elevation-derived catchments (drainage areas) produced using a drainage enforcement technique first widely used in New England, and thus referred to as "the New England Method." This technique involves "burning in" the 1:100,000-scale NHD and when available building "walls" using the National Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD). The resulting modified digital elevation model (HydroDEM) is used to produce hydrologic derivatives that agree with the NHD and WBD. Over the past two years, an interdisciplinary team from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and contractors, found that this method produces the best quality NHD catchments using an automated process (USEPA, 2007). The NHDPlus dataset is organized by 18 Production Units that cover the conterminous United States.

The NHDPlus version 1.1 data are grouped by the U.S. Geologic Survey's  Major River Basins (MRBs, Crawford and others, 2006).  MRB1, covering the New England and Mid-Atlantic River basins, contains NHDPlus Production Units 1 and 2.  MRB2, covering the South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee River basins, contains NHDPlus Production Units 3 and 6.  MRB3, covering the Great Lakes, Ohio, Upper Mississippi, and Souris-Red-Rainy River basins, contains NHDPlus Production Units 4, 5, 7 and 9.  MRB4, covering the Missouri River basins, contains NHDPlus Production Units 10-lower and 10-upper.  MRB5, covering the Lower Mississippi, Arkansas-White-Red, and Texas-Gulf River basins, contains NHDPlus Production Units 8, 11 and 12.  MRB6, covering the Rio Grande, Colorado and Great Basin River basins, contains NHDPlus Production Units 13, 14, 15 and 16.  MRB7, covering the Pacific Northwest River basins, contains NHDPlus Production Unit 17.  MRB8, covering California River basins, contains NHDPlus Production Unit 18.</abstract>
			<purpose>This spatial data set was created and used by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) specifically to estimate surficial geology per watershed segment in the application of the national SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model . The SPARROW model relates in-stream water-quality measurements to spatially referenced characteristics of watersheds, including contaminant sources and factors influencing terrestrial and stream transport. The model empirically estimates the origin and fate of contaminants in streams, and quantifies uncertainties in these estimates based on model coefficient error and unexplained variability in the observed data. For more information on the USGS SPARROW model please refer to: http://water.usgs.gov/nawqa/sparrow/intro/intro.html.</purpose>

				<procdesc>1) Downloaded the polygon coverage of Surficial Geology (SGEOL) from http://water.usgs.gov/lookup/getspatial?ofr99-77_geol75m

2) Converted the polygon coverage into a 30-meter GRID to match  the resolution of the NHDPlus catchment GRIDs downloaded from http://www.horizon-systems.com/nhdplus.

3) Summarized the area of each surficial geology type per catchment by using the COMBINE command in GRID.  The COMBINE command combines the geology and catchment GRIDs into one coverage.  The resulting GRID automatically tables the area of each geology type per catchment.

4) Exported results into a dbf file format.</procdesc>
