  Description:
    Abstract:
      The North Carolina Department of Environment, Health,
      and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management,
      in cooperation with the NC Center for Geographic Information
      and Analysis, developed the digital Water Supply Watersheds
      data to enhance planning, siting and impact analysis in
      areas directly affecting water supply intakes.
      This file outlines the extent of protected and critical
      areas and stream classifications for areas around water
      supply watersheds in which development directly affects a
      water supply intake.  This file enables users to identify
      the areas which have special restrictions for building and
      development based on water supply intakes. This file is
      updated as changes occur.
    Purpose:
      This data was created to assist governmental agencies and
      others in making resource management decisions through use
      of a Geographic Information System (GIS).

      Revisions and updates to this layer include:
      18.) filename: wsw496  The April 1, 1996 update:  A) The
      Upper Frech Broad River (Asheville) water supply watershed
      was moved from the proposed coverage to the adopted
      coverage.  B) The Mills River (Asheville) water supply
      watershed was moved from the proposed coverage to the
      adopted coverage.  C) The French Broad River water supply
      watershed was moved from the adopted coverage into the
      proposed coverage.  These edits affect Buncombe and
      Henderson Counties.
      17.) filename: wsw396  The March 6, 1996 update:  A) The
      Reedy Fork critical area was changed to 'WS-III NSW' to
      match the protected area.  This affected the Greensboro
      100k tile area.  B) The Belews Creek protected area was
      changed to 'WS-IV' to match the critical area.  This
      affected the Winston-Salem 100k tile area.
      16.) filename: wsw196  The January 25, 1996 update: A)
      Protected boundary was altered in the Long Creek (Little
      Tennessee) watershed.  The watershed name was renamed
      to be Rock Creek (Little Tennessee). This affected the
      Robbinsville 24k quad.  B) Protected boundary was altered
      in the South Fork Catawba River watershed.  This affected
      the Banoke 24k quad.  C) Addition of protected boundary
      for the Belews Creek watershed. This affected the Belews
      Creek 24k quad.  D) Watersheds were deleted by request of
      DEM-Tranters Creek which was on the Rocky Mount & Plymouth
      100k quads and Stokely Hollow which was on the Asheville
      100k quad.  E) Extensive changes to the actual boundaries
      of the watersheds throughout the state in an effort to
      have them coincident with the Hydrologic Units adopted
      earlier by EHNR-DEM and USDA-NRCS.  Boundaries coincident
      in both coverages were deleted from the watershed file and
      copied back from the hydrologic units file.

  Attribute_Accuracy:
    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
      The NC DEHNR-DEM delineated the boundaries on 24k USGS
      paper topographic maps.  NCCGIA digitized these boundaries
      and attributed them with DEM classification information,
      river basin and stream names, and acres per polygon.  The
      digital files were plotted and overlayed to the originals
      and linework and label corrections were made. This digital
      file is updated as changes occur.
  Logical_Consistency_Report:
    Using ESRI's ARC/INFO GIS software, the dataset was built for
    arc and polygon topology using the "build" command.
    The data set was then cleaned with a fuzzy tolerance of
    1 foot.  Topology has not been edited since the last build
    or clean.
  Completeness_Report:
    These data represent the locations and identities of Water
    Supply Watersheds in North Carolina as mapped by the NCDEM.
    Each watershed is labeled with either a protected or critical
    area classification.  All boundaries are approved by DEM
    whether they are the original DEM boundaries or changes to
    original boundaries submitted for revision by local or county
    governments.
  Positional_Accuracy:
    Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
      Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
        Water supply watershed boundaries were marked on 7.5
        Minute USGS paper topographic maps which meet National
        Map Accuracy Standards, using a best estimate with
        reference to surrounding features. Ridge lines were
        interpolated from contours by cartographers and reviewed
        by DEM staff.  Counties and municipalities have
        restudied certain boundaries in detail for adjustment by
        DEM. Boundaries drawn were digitized and check plots used
        to ensure correct boundary location, within a line width.

      Process_Description:
        Water supply watershed boundaries were delineated by
        cartographers interpolating ridgelines on paper USGS 7.5
        minute topographic maps. Boundaries were delineated around
        known water supply intakes.  Intakes on streams or rivers
        had critical areas delineated as ridgelines or half mile
        buffers, whichever was closest, upstream of the intake
        location.  Protected areas were delineated with ridgelines
        or ten mile buffers, which ever was closer.  For intakes
        on lakes and reservoirs, buffers were delineated from the
        apparent pool elevation of the water body as shown on the
        USGS quadrangle using the same limits as above. Boundaries
        were reviewed by DEM staff.  After the linework was
        digitized by NCCGIA (see below), DEM staff reviewed
        the linework and attributes for accuracy. DEM supplies
        CGIA with updates as they occur.

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description:
        Water supply watersheds were digitized from hand
        delineated water supply watershed boundaries on USGS 7.5
        Minute series paper basemaps.  The digital files were
        attributed and checkplots were created for review by the
        Water Quality Section. Necessary corrections were made and
        new plots were run. Post processing involved edgematching
        and mapjoining of USGS 7.5 Minute series maps used to
        create the digitized data.  This process generated one
        statewide polygon coverage.  Boundaries of the watersheds
        throughout the state, in an effort to have them coincident
        with the Hydrologic Units adopted earlier by EHNR-DEM
        and USDA-NRCS, were replaced with the hydrologic units
        Boundaries for the watersheds.  Boundaries coincident in
        both coverages were deleted from the watershed file and
        copied back from the hydrologic units file.  CGIA updates
        the digital file as needed.

  Overview_Description:
    Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
      A polygon coverage depicting areas classified by the
      Division of Environmental Management as having either
      protected or critical water supply watershed areas.  The
      polygon attribute table (PAT) has attribute data including
      total area in coverage units (square feet), total perimeter
      (linear feet), polygon internal identification number,
      polygon user identification number, a DEM internal index
      number that relates to the identification of the stream
      which runs through the watershed, the classification of the
      watershed, the river basin the watershed is contained in,
      the name of the stream which runs through the watershed, the
      classification date of the watershed, the DEM internal grid
      number that relates to the 7.5 minute USGS topographic map,
      the type of watershed -whether (P)roposed or (C)ritical, and
      the number of acres per polygon. There are no look up tables,
      annotation or cartosets for this data.
      A deductive estimate was used to determine the attribute
      accuracy value.  The value domains used are as follows:
      High - greater than 90% reliability;
      Medium - greater than 75% reliability;
      Low - less than 75% reliability.

  Distribution_Liability:
    NCCGIA is charged with the development and maintenance of
    the State's corporate geographic database and, in cooperation
    with other mapping organizations, is committed to offering
    its users accurate, useful, and current information about the

    accuracy of information, errors and conditions originating
    from physical sources used to develop the corporate database
    may be reflected in the data supplied.  The client must be
    aware of data conditions and bear responsibility for the
    appropriate use of the information with respect to possible
    errors, original map scale, collection methodology, currency
    of data, and other conditions specific to certain data.
