       Product: These are Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data for California as part of the required deliverables for the CA_FEMALevee_D23, Work Unit 300456 project. Class 2 (ground) LiDAR points in conjunction with the hydro breaklines were used to create a 0.5 meter hydro-flattened Raster DEM.
       Geographic Extent: 1 counties in California, covering approximately 918 total square miles.
       Dataset Description: The CA_FEMALevee_D23, Work Unit 300456 project called for the planning, acquisition, processing, and derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 8.0 meters. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base LiDAR Specification, 2023 Rev. A. The data were developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD 1983 2011 UTM Zone 11N, Meter and vertical datum of NAVD88 Geoid 18, Meter. LiDAR data were delivered as processed Classified LAS 1.4 files formatted to 2662 individual 1000 m x 1000 m tiles, as tiled intensity imagery, and as tiled bare earth DEMs; all tiled to the same 1000 m x 1000 m schema. Continuous breaklines were produced in Esri file geodatabase format.
       Ground Conditions: LiDAR was collected in summer 2023, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels. In order to post process the LiDAR data to meet task order specifications and meet ASPRS vertical accuracy guidelines, NV5 Geospatial utilized a total of 28 ground control points that were used to calibrate the LiDAR to known ground locations established throughout the project area. An additional 68 independent accuracy checkpoints, 38 in Bare Earth and Urban landcovers (38 NVA points), 30 in Tall Weeds categories (30 VVA points), were used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These checkpoints were not used to calibrate or post process the data.</abstract>
      <purpose>To acquire detailed surface elevation data for use in conservation planning, design, research, floodplain mapping, dam safety assessments and elevation modeling, etc. Classified LAS files are used to show the manually reviewed bare earth surface. This allows the user to create intensity images, breaklines and raster DEMs. The purpose of these LiDAR data was to produce high accuracy 3D hydro-flattened digital elevation models (DEMs) with a 0.5 meter cell size. These raw LiDAR point cloud data were used to create classified LiDAR LAS files, intensity images, 3D breaklines, and hydro-flattened DEMs as necessary.</purpose>
      <supplinf>Raster File Type = GeoTIFF; Bit Depth/Pixel Type = 32-bit float; Raster Cell Size = 0.5 meter; Interpolation or Resampling Technique = Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN), Linear Interpolation, Proprietary; Required Vertical Accuracy = 0.196</supplinf>
