Description
Abstract: The Lake Monitoring coverage, used to support the water quality program, references sampling locations across the state. The coverage data is current as of the publication date. The KDHE/BER operational database is a dynamic database.
Purpose: This coverage was developed to improve program staff reporting capabilities, to cross-reference these locations with EPA's hydrologic reach reference system, and to establish a stable reference for continued environmental monitoring assessment.
Access Constraints: None
Use Constraints: Data is current as of publication date. KDHE/BOW is not responsible for database integrity following download and publication. To be used at minimum scale of 1:24000. Contact KDHE for more information.


Data Quality Information
Lineage:/Source Information
Type of source media: KDHE program database source, EPA-RF3 hydrologic database
Source scale denominator: 24,000
Source citation abbreviation: KDHE, EPA
Attribute Accuracy:/Attribute Accuracy Value: Attribute database reflects internal KDHE QAQC controls for related source materials as of publication date
Attribute Accuracy Report: Where applicable, KDHE database QAQC includes data entry validity checks for acceptable ranges and coincident spatial references. Located point, line and polygon resources are cross-referenced against a standard series of administrative and physical boundary files that include county, KDHE district, hydrologic basin, hydrologic unit code 8 and 11. HUC association error for STATE_SWIM is an estimated five percent. HUC association error for STATE_SWIM is an estimated five percent
Positional Accuracy:/Horizontal Positional Accuracy:/Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value: GPS horizontal accuracy is +/- 5 meters.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report: Differential correction post-processing using K-State Salina base station data is used to derive GPS coordinates.
