      <abstract>Product:  These are Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data for WI Dodge County Lidar 2017 B17 Project Level as part of the required deliverables for WI Dodge County 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: The AOI is covering approximately ±907 square miles of Dodge County along with a 100-foot buffer zone outside the county for the lidar data. Dataset Description: N WI Dodge County 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 0.70 meter. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Lidar Base Specification, Version 1.2. The data was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD 1983 2011 WISCRS Dodge and Jefferson Survey Feet and vertical datum of NAVD88 (GEOID12B), Survey Feet. Lidar data was delivered as; flightline-extent raw LAS v1.4 swaths, classified point cloud LAS v1.4 files formatted to 1351 individual 4,500’ x 4,500’ tiles in NAD 1983 2011 WISCRS Dodge and Jefferson Survey Feet. Derivatives were produced as tiled; Bare Earth Surface DEMs (Erdas IMG and ESRI ArcGrid Format), Intensity Images; all tiled to the same 4,500’ x 4,500’ schema. 
   Ground Conditions: Lidar was collected in April of 2017, 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 a total of 15 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 (58 NVA points and 48 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>
      <purpose>The Dodge County Wisconsin QL2 Lidar 2017 project was collected in April 2017. The lidar data will deliver benefits and provide transformational data necessary to gain a better understanding of current topographic conditions within the 907 square mile county.
This high-resolution QL2 lidar dataset addresses several state functional activites including: flood-risk management, infrastructure and construction management, urban and regional planning, natural resources conservation, water supply and quality, cultural resources preservation and management, wildlife habitat management, renewable energy resources, resource mining, agriculture and precision farming, and telecommunications.</purpose>

        <vertaccr>LAS data covering the DodgeCo_WI_Lidar_2017 Lidar 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 0.080 Meters Non vegetated vertical accuracy at a 95 percent confidence level, derived according to NSSDA, in open terrain using 0.041 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 0.088 Meters Non vegetated vertical accuracy at a 95 percent confidence level, derived according to NSSDA, in open terrain using 0.045 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>

        <procdesc>Hydro Flattened Raster DEM Process: Class 2 (ground) lidar points in conjunction with the hydro breaklines as well bridge breaklines were used to create a 2.5 ft hydro-flattened Raster DEM. Using automated scripting routines within ArcMap, an ERDAS Imagine IMG file was created for each tile. Each surface is reviewed using Global Mapper to check for any surface anomalies or incorrect elevations found within the surface.</procdesc>
