Plume, Mary L. Tumbusch, and Toby L. Welborn 2008 pdf document Scientific Investigations Map SIM2009-3063 Reston, Virginia U.S. Geological Survey http://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3063/ These data present a ground-water inventory of existing geospatial data and other information needed to determine the extent and characteristics of the aquifers in the Tahoe Basin. Geospatial and other data include geologic maps and soil surveys of the entire basin and for specific watersheds within the basin at the best available scales; vegetation remote-sensing datasets; well information from various local, state, and federal agencies; geophysical surveys; and results of available ground-water studies. The compilation and development of a ground-water inventory geospatial database will assist the United States Forest Service in better assessing the present and future impacts on ground-water resources within the Lake Tahoe Basin. These data were developed in support of the Lake Tahoe ground-water inventory. The intended uses of this data set include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization applications. 2008 publication date Complete None planned -120.181580 -119.880972 39.380883 38.892002 ISO 19115 Topic Geoscientific Information Environment Inland waters None Ground water None Lake Tahoe Nevada California None Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as ArcGIS format, this metadata file may include some ArcGIS-specific terminology.

Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.2.2.1350 Verification was done by interactive on-screen review. Frequency tests were performed on all feature class attributes to check that no features were unlabeled, misspelled, or inconsistent. Corrections were made until one visual comparison, combined with on-screen review, determined 100 percent of the digital attribute data was correct. Polygon and chain-node topolgy present. Complete for Lake Tahoe study area. Errors resulting from source data quality, automation processes, and scale resolution can impact the accuracy of data. These data are derived from 1:100,000-scale sources. National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS) established for the United States in 1947 (U.S. Geological Survey, 1988) state that no more than 10 percent of features shall be more than 1/50th of an inch from their intended location on maps of scale smaller than 1:20,000. National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA) published by the Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) in 1998 relate the NMAS to the digital geospatial data standard by multiplying the NMAS accuracy by a factor of 1.1406 resulting in expected error in the geospatial data at standard mapping scales as follows: 1: 24,000-scale map - 14 meters 1: 62,500-scale map - 36 meters 1: 100,000-scale map - 58 meters 1: 250,000-scale map - 145 meters 1: 500,000-scale map - 290 meters 1:1,000,000-scale map - 579 meters References Cited FGDC, Subcommittee for Base Cartographic data, 1998, Geospatial Positioning Accuracy Standards, Part 3: National Standard for Spatial Data Accuracy, FGDC-STD-007.3-1998, last accessed 03/29/2007 at URL http://www.fgdc.gov/standards/projects/FGDC-standards-projects/accuracy/part3/chapter3 U.S. Geological Survey, 1988, National mapping program technical instructions - Part 2: Specifications, Standards for Digital Line Graphs: U.S. Geological Survey, 56 p. 58 meters Well locations have been generalized to the nearest township, range, section in order to insure the confidentiality of well log data as required by the State of California. Therefore, the well resolution is 1.3 square miles and the horizontal accuracy of these data are +/- 58 meters.
