Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The attribute accuracy is estimated to be "good". If a higher proof of data accuracy is required, do not use these data. User is advised to fully and carefully read the 'Distribution Liability' section of this metadata before using these data.

Logical_Consistency_Report: ARC/INFO point topology exists.

Completeness_Report:

Data set is complete, but will updated when corrected GPS data are available for the sites.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

Horizontal accuracy varies depending on the source of individual components within the data. Data derived from USGS data (DLGs, DEMs, DOQQs) are assumed to meet National Map Accuracy standards. Data produced from real-time GPS (Global Positioning System) field data is assumed to be spatially accurate to within 3-5 meters.
