   <abstract>Product: These are Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data as part of the required deliverables for the NY_FEMAR2_Central_2018_D19 WUID 229498 Lidar Project. Class 2 (ground) lidar points in conjunction with the hydro breaklines were used to create a 1 meter hydro-flattened Raster DEM.
   Geographic Extent: Broome, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Delaware, Ontario, Otsego, Schuyler, Steuben, Sullivan, Tioga, and Yates Counties, New York, covering approximately 6,198 square miles. Dataset Description: NY_FEMAR2_Central_2018_D19 WUID 229498 Lidar Project called for the Planning, Acquisition, processing and derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.7 meter. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base Lidar Specification, Version 1.3. The data was developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD83 (2011), Universal Transverse Mercator, meters and vertical datum of NAVD88 (GEOID12B), meters. Lidar data was delivered as processed Classified LAS 1.4 files, formatted to 7,332 individual 1500 m x 1500 m tiles for WUID 229488, as tiled bare earth DEMs; all tiled to the same 1500 m x 1500 m schema. The tile grid contains 7,332 tiles. All tiled to the same 1500 m x 1500 m schema.
   Ground Conditions: Lidar was collected in early 2019 through mid 2020, 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, Dewberry established a total of 117 ground control points for the two subcontractors with 81 in this WUID that were used to calibrate the lidar to known ground locations established throughout the NY_FEMAR2_Central_2018_D19 project area. An additional 186 independent accuracy checkpoints, 114 in Bare Earth and Urban landcovers (114 NVA points), 72 in Tall Grass and Brushland/Low Trees categories (72 VVA points), were used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These checkpoints were not used to calibrate or post process the data.</abstract>
   <purpose>To acquire detailed surface elevation data for use in conservation planning, design, research, floodplain mapping, dam safety assessments and elevation modeling, etc. Classified LAS files are used to show the manually reviewed bare earth surface. This allows the user to create Intensity Images, Breaklines and Raster DEM. The purpose of these lidar data was to produce high accuracy 3D hydro-flattened Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with a 1 meter cell size. These raw lidar point cloud data were used to create classified lidar LAS files, intensity images, 3D breaklines, hydro-flattened DEMs as necessary.</purpose>
