USDA-Forest Service, Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, Park Falls, Wisconsin and U.S. EPA Region 5, Chicago, Illinois. 2007 Unknown 1 vector digital data Fort Worth, TX. U. S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service. withheld wbdhu12_a_wi_WTM This data set is a complete digital hydrologic unit boundary layer to the Subwatershed (12-digit) 6th level for the State of Wisconsin. This data set consists of geo-referenced digital data and associated attributes created in accordance with the "FGDC Proposal, Version 1.0 - Federal Standards For Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries 3/01/02" (http://www.ftw.nrcs.usda.gov/huc_data.html). These polygons are attributed with hydrologic unit codes for 4th level sub-basins, 5th level watersheds, 6th level subwatersheds, name, size, downstream hydrologic unit, type of watershed, non-contributing areas and flow modification. The native projection of Watershed Boundary Dataset was UTM zone 16T. This data has been projected to the Wisconsin Transverse Mercator (WTM) coordinate system for use in DNR applications. The dataset extent is the extent of 8-digit HUCs that intersect the state of Wisconsin. The Watershed and Subwatershed hydrologic unit boundaries provide a uniquely identified and uniform method of subdividing large drainage areas. The smaller sized 6th level sub-watersheds (up to 40,000 acres) are useful for numerous application programs supported by a variety of local, State, and Federal Agencies. This data set is intended to be used as a tool for water-resource management and planning activities, particularly for site-specific and localized studies requiring a level of detail provided by large-scale map information. The dataset will be appended to a larger seamless nationally consistent geospatial database as other states complete their portion of the watershed boundary dataset. en 20070331 Publication date of sources Complete Unknown -93.581451 -86.650318 48.015536 41.265614 252649.549477 770017.476367 93157.157700 838027.028675 None HUC Hydrologic Units Hydrologic Unit Code Region Sub-region Basin Sub-basin Watershed Watershed Boundaries boundaries Subwatershed WBD Watershed Boundary Dataset WI-HUC Wisconsin Watershed Boundary Dataset Wisconsin WBD None WI USA Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest St. Croix National Scenic Riverway Great Lakes Basin Mississippi River Basin Upper Mississippi River Basin Lake Superior Basin Lake Michigan Basin None The distributor shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of this data, based on the description of appropriate/inappropriate uses described in this metadata document.

Funding for the Wisconsin Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) was provided by the USDA Forest Service, Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and U.S. EPA, Region 5. Representatives from the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (Dale Higgins, Walt Rasmussen, Lisa Brehm), U.S. EPA Region 5 (Milo Anderson, Joan Rogers, Andrew Bock, Walt Rasmussen), USGS Wisconsin Water Science Center (Jana Stewart, Cheryl Buchwald), Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (Jim Baumann), Wisconsin Natural Resources Conservation Service (Annette Humpal), Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (Jim Solstad, Andrea Bergman), St. Croix National Scenic Riverway (Randy Ferrin, Marianna Young) have worked together in a combined effort, contributing a substantial amount of time and salary towards bringing the legacy dataset up to the criteria outlined in the Federal Standards for Delineation of Watershed Boundaries. ESRI ArcCatalog 9.2.4.1420 Shapefile 100% of the attributes were visually verfied using 24K digital raster graphics (DRG's) The accuracy of this data is dependent on the level of detail of the source material and the interprtation procedures for capturing that source. There are no unclosed polygons, intersections without nodes, or polygons without labels or with more than one label. ArcGIS `topology' rules for polygons were used to identify and correct intersections without nodes, unclosed polygons and remove duplicate lines with the same beginning and ending nodes. All sliver polygons were removed either using eliminate, merge or manually in ArcMap. All fields for all polygons in the .pat are attributed. Some polygons in the Ncontrb_a field might have a 0 value. All fields for the lines in the .aat are attributed. The Wisconsin WBD was produced using Digital Raster Graphics (DRG's) as the source map. Data completeness for DRG files reflects content of the source graphic and may therefore be reflected in the completeness and accuracy of the WBD. The map was digitized from USGS 1:24,000-scale digital raster graphic base maps, with an inherited error of +/- 40 feet according to the USGS National Map Accuracy Standards. It is estimated that any errors detected were less than 10%. It should also be noted that while general rules of hydrology were used (i.e. natural water flow is downhill), the locations of boundaries is still somewhat subjective as the 1:24,000-scale DRG's do not always provide enough information for identifying the location of the boundaries.

These revisions to the attribution were also made to ensure that the dataset met the Federal Standards for Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries. The NHD was used during this process to help with the naming and downstream coding of each hydrologic unit. In some instances there were name discrepancies between the NHD and what was printed on the DRG's.

This is a description of attributes by field from the Federal Standards for Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries. Polygon attributes: Huc_8 : Eight Digit Hydrologic Unit Code - (REQUIRED) A unique 8-digit code from the USGS map series "Hydrologic Unit Maps". The same number was used in every record that pertains to a subwatershed that resides within the same 8-digit sub-basin.Numbers were assigned in an upstream to downstream fashion. Where no downstream/upstream relationship could be determined numbers were assigned in a clockwise fashion. Huc_10: Ten Digit Hydrologic Unit Code - (REQUIRED) This field provides a unique 10-digit code for each watershed. This same number was used in every record that pertains to a subwatershed that resides within the same 10-digit watershed. Numbers were assigned in an upstream to downstream fashion. Where no downstream/upstream relationship could be determined numbers were assigned in a clockwise fashion. Huc_12: Twelve Digit Hydrologic Unit Code - (REQUIRED) This field provides a unique 12-digit code for each subwatershed. Numbers were assigned in an upstream to downstream fashion. Where no downstream/upstream relationship could be determined numbers were assigned in a clockwise fashion.

States: States - (REQUIRED) The "States" field includes the names of all state(s) that the subwatershed falls within. The 2-digit postal abbreviation in upper case and in alphabetical order was used, separated with a comma. Ncontrb_a: Non-Contributing Area - (FIELD REQUIRED, ATTRIBUTES OPTIONAL) Drainage areas that do not flow toward the outlet of any hydrologic unit are considered non-contributing. If a non-contributing area is on the boundary between two or more hydrologic units, the non-contributing area is associated with the hydrologic unit adjacent to the low point on the boundary. This attribute should be the total of the non-contributing areas within a hydrologic unit calculated in acres. Hu_10_ds: Fifth Level Downstream Hydrologic Unit Code - (FIELD REQUIRED, ATTRIBUTES OPTIONAL) This field has the 10-digit code of the 5th level hydrologic unit that is receiving the majority of the flow from the watershed that the 6th level HU falls within. Outlets created by ditching or other artificial drainage were not considered for this field. If an HU flows into an ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, this field was populated with "OCEAN" and if a HU flows into one of the Great Lakes the term "LAKE" was used. If a HU flows across international borders, "CANADA" or "MEXICO" was used depending on which country the HU drains into. If an HU is a closed basin, then the term "CLOSED BASIN"was used. Hu_10_name: Fifth Level Hydrologic Unit Name - (FIELD REQUIRED, ATTRIBUTES OPTIONAL) This field used officially recognized names only. This field was populated by following the directions in subsection 6.3 "Watershed and Subwatershed Naming Protocol".
