Data Management Plan
DMP Template v2.0.1 (2015-01-01)
Please provide the following information, and submit to the NOAA DM Plan Repository.Reference to Master DM Plan (if applicable)
As stated in Section IV, Requirement 1.3, DM Plans may be hierarchical. If this DM Plan inherits provisions from a higher-level DM Plan already submitted to the Repository, then this more-specific Plan only needs to provide information that differs from what was provided in the Master DM Plan.
1. General Description of Data to be Managed
This GIS dataset contains points, polygons, and raster grids depicting lidar-derived elevation data for the Oregon Lidar Consortium (OLC) Santiam 2018 area of interest (AOI). The AOI encompasses 106,585 acres within area of interest (AOI), and 110,378 acres within the buffered area of interest (BAOI). All data are in Polk and Marion Counties, Oregon. The nominal pulse density is eight pulses per square meter. The digital elevation model (DEM) and digital surface model (DSM) raster grid cell size is 3 feet. The intensity raster grid cell size is 1.5 feet. The native projection is Oregon Statewide Lambert, Lambert Conformal Conic, units are in international feet. The native horizontal datum is NAD83(2011) and the native vertical datum is NAVD88 (Geoid 12B). Quantum Spatial Inc. collected the lidar and created this dataset for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI).
The NOAA Office for Coastal Management received the point data and processed it to the Data Access Viewer (DAV) and http. The data were converted to geographic coordinates and ellipsoidal heights for DAV, and geographic coordinates and orthometric heights using NAVD88 for http.

Process Steps:
- 2018-11-21 00:00:00 - 1. TRAJECTORY: Aircraft trajectory (position and attitude) were calculated based on on-board GPS and IMU data with post-processing refinement through coincident static GPS collection. 2. POST-PROCESSING: Laser point return coordinates (x,y,z) were computed using sensor-specific post processing software, combining LiDAR return range and intensity information with aircraft trajectory information. 3. INITIAL QAQC: The post-processed LiDAR files were assembled into flight lines and reviewed for gaps and consistency, as well as systematic noise. 4. CALIBRATION: Custom algorithms evaluated individual swaths for misalignments based on IMU configuration as well as aircraft attitude variability. Offsets were resolved through surface and linear matching algorithms that minimize variability in elevation and slope. Descriptive statistics, thresholds, and specifications providing transparency for data calibration are discussed in the accompanying Data Report. 5. GROUND MODELING: Ground classified point cloud was generated through proprietary data processing tools, with settings and thresholds appropriate to landscape and vegetation condition. 6. ARTIFACT FILTRATION: Noise and processing artifacts were filtered using post-processing software and proprietary quality control methods. 7. ACCURACY ASSESSMENT: Vertical accuracy for the LiDAR dataset was assessed against reserved Quality Assurance Points (QAPs) distributed throughout the study area and not used during calibration processes. See the accompanying Data Report for methodology, descriptive statistics, and relevant standards and reporting language. 8. DATA PRODUCT: LiDAR points classified as 'ground' were output as a digital elevation model (DEM). 9. Hydro Flattening Breakline Processing: Class 2 LiDAR was used to create a bare earth surface model. E-Cognition utilized rasters created within Bentley Microstation to auto-generate breaklines of inland streams and rivers with a 100 foot nominal width and Inland Ponds of 2 acres or greater surface area. Breaklines for Lakes with surface area greater than 2 acres were generated using heads-up digitization. Elevation values were assigned to all Inland Ponds and Lakes within ESRI ArcMap; Inland Pond and Lake Islands, Inland Stream and River Islands were assigned elevation values from within ESRI ArcMap. All ground (ASPRS Class 2) LiDAR data inside of the collected inland breaklines were then classified to water (ASPRS Class 9) using TerraScan macro functionality. A buffer of 2.1 meter was also used around each hydro-flattened stream. These points were moved from ground (ASPRS Class 2) to Ignored Ground (ASPRS Class 10). The breakline files were then translated to ESRI File-Geodatabase format using ESRI conversion tools. (Citation: Raw Lidar)
- 2019-10-11 00:00:00 - Data was obtained by NOAA Office for Coastal Management from DOGAMI. Data were in Oregon Lambert NAD83(2011) international feet with NAVD88(Geoid12B) international feet vertically. Data were converted to geographic coordinates in ellipsoid heights (meters) using the general cartographic transform package subroutines and reversing the application of GEOID12B.

6. Data Documentation
The EDMC Data Documentation Procedural Directive requires that NOAA data be well documented, specifies the use of ISO 19115 and related standards for documentation of new data, and provides links to resources and tools for metadata creation and validation.
Missing/invalid information:
- 1.7. Data collection method(s)
- 3.1. Responsible Party for Data Management
- 5.2. Quality control procedures employed
- 7.1.1. If data are not available or has limitations, has a Waiver been filed?

7. Data Access
NAO 212-15 states that access to environmental data may only be restricted when distribution is explicitly limited by law, regulation, policy (such as those applicable to personally identifiable information or protected critical infrastructure information or proprietary trade information) or by security requirements. The EDMC Data Access Procedural Directive contains specific guidance, recommends the use of open-standard, interoperable, non-proprietary web services, provides information about resources and tools to enable data access, and includes a Waiver to be submitted to justify any approach other than full, unrestricted public access.
