      <abstract>Product: These are Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data for TN West Central Lidar 2017 B17 as part of the required deliverables for TN West Central Lidar 2017 B17 project. Class 2 (ground) lidar points in conjunction with the hydro breaklines and bridge breaklines were used to create a 2.5 feet hydro-flattened Raster DEM.
 Geographic Extent: This task order requires lidar data to be acquired over 5,735 square miles in Stewart, Henry, Benton, Houston, Carroll, Humphreys, Henderson, Perry, Decatur, Hardin and Wayne counties in TN. 
Dataset Description: TN West Central Lidar 2017 B17 Lidar project called for the Planning, Acquisition, processing and derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.7 meter. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base Lidar Specification, Version 1.2. The data was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of Tennessee State Plane Zone  NAD83(2011), US Feet and vertical datum of NAVD88 Geoid12B US Feet. Lidar data was delivered as flightline-extent unclassified LAS swaths, as processed Classified LAS 1.4 files, formatted to 5710 individual 7000 ft x 4000 ft tiles, as tiled Intensity Imagery, and as tiled bare earth DEMs; all tiled to the same 7000 ft x 4000 ft schema.
   Ground Conditions: Lidar was collected in spring of 2017 by Woolpert, 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, Woolpert established 177 ground control points that were used to calibrate the lidar to known ground locations established throughout the project area. Additional independent accuracy checkpoints were collected (156 NVA points and 101 VVA points) and used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These checkpoints were not used to calibrate or post process the data.</abstract>

        <vertaccr>LAS data covering the TN West Central Lidar 2017 B17Lidar Task Order was compared to independent survey control points to determine the NVA of the LAS Swath and of the Bare-Earth DEM. In addition, this LAS data was compared to independent VVA points. LAS Swath Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) Tested 0.068 Meters Non vegetated vertical accuracy at a 95 percent confidence level, derived according to NSSDA, in open terrain using 0.035 Meters (RMSEz) x 1.96000 as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASPRS Guidelines. Bare-Earth DEM Non-Vegetated Vertical Accuracy (NVA) Tested 0.072 Meters Non vegetated vertical accuracy at a 95 percent confidence level, derived according to NSSDA, in open terrain using 0.037 Meters (RMSEz) x 1.96000 as defined by the National Standards for Spatial Data Accuracy (NSSDA); assessed and reported using National Digital Elevation Program (NDEP)/ASPRS Guidelines.</vertaccr>
