      <abstract>Leading Edge Geomatics (LEG) collected 994 square miles in the Virginia counties of Accomack and Northampton. The nominal pulse spacing for this project was 1 point every 0.7 meters.  Dewberry used proprietary procedures to classify the LAS according to project specifications:  0-Never Classified, 1-Unclassified, 2-Ground (bare earth points identified as Model Key Points are flagged with the Model Key Point bit), 7-Low Noise, 9-Water, 10-Ignored Ground due to breakline proximity, 17- Bridge Decks, 18-High Noise. Dewberry produced 3D breaklines and combined these with the final LiDAR data to produce seamless hydro flattened DEMs for the project area. The data was formatted according to the VBMP tile naming convention with each tile covering an area of 5,000 feet by 5,000 ft.  A total of 1375 LAS tiles and 1310 DEM tiles were produced for the entire project.</abstract>
      <purpose>The purpose of this LiDAR data was to produce high accuracy 3D elevation products, including tiled LiDAR in LAS 1.4 format, 3D breaklines, and 2.5 foot cell size hydro flattened Digital Elevation Models (DEMs).  All products follow and comply with USGS Lidar Base Specification Version 1.2.</purpose>
      <supplinf>A complete description of this dataset is available in the Final Project Report submitted to the USGS.</supplinf>
