   <dcterms:abstract>Precision Aerial Reconnaissance (PAR) collected 902 square miles in the South Carolina county of Georgetown. The nominal pulse spacing for this project was 1 point every 0.7 meters.  Dewberry used proprietary procedures to classify the LAS according to project specifications:   1-Unclassified, 2-Ground, 7-Low Noise, 8-Model Keypoints, 9-Water, 10-Ignored Ground due to breakline proximity, 13-Culverts, 17- Bridge Decks, 18-High Noise. Dewberry produced 3D breaklines and combined these with the final lidar data to produce seamless hydro flattened DEMs for the project area. The data was formatted according to the SC DNR tile naming convention with each tile covering an area of 5,000 feet by 5,000 ft.  A total of 1100 LAS tiles and 1100 DEM tiles were produced for the entire project.

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) received 1 DEM raster in ESRI gdb format from the South Carolina DNR and processed the data to the Data Access Viewer (DAV) and https. 

In addition to these bare earth Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, the lidar point data that these DEMs were created from, are also available. These data are available for custom download at the link provided in the Related Item section of this metadata record.

Breakline data are also available. These data are available for download at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record. Please note that these products have not been reviewed by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) and any conclusions drawn from the analysis of this information are not the responsibility of NOAA or OCM.</dcterms:abstract>
