      <abstract>Product:  Breaklines, were collected to aid in hydro-flattening processes.  These Breaklines were used to create.
      	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.

      <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 WI Dodge County 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>Breaklines:  The collection of hydrologic breaklines occurred during the manual editing process of this project.  Collections of hydrologic features were done in 2_D using a combination of LAS format, intensity format, and ground surface TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network).  2-D Inland Streams and Rivers with a nominal width of 30 meters (100’) were collected to best fit the shoreline.  Algorithms were applied to monotonically drape the Inland Streams and Rivers to the lowest elevation of surrounding terrain.  Draped Inland Streams and Rivers have elevations at about every 1 foot drop in elevation, and have been checked for monotonicity.  Inland Streams and Rivers do not break at bridges, but they are closed ended at culvert locations.  Inland Ponds and Lakes of 2 acres or greater have been collected and draped to the lowest elevation of surrounding terrain.  Permanent islands 1 acre or greater have been collected and draped to the appropriate elevation of associated hydrologic feature that it is contained in.  All Ground points (Class 2) inside of the hydro-flattened features have been classified to Water (Class 9).  A buffer of 2.3 feet was used around each hydro-flattened feature to classify Ground points (Class 2) to Ignored ground (Class 10).   Breaklines collected to alleviate large triangulations between bridge decks have been draped to follow the ground surface TIN.  Ground points (Class 2) within 2.3 feet of these breaklines are classified to Ignored ground (Class 10).  All breaklines files were then translated to Esri format.</procdesc>
