Why was the data set created?

Revegetation priority areas along rivers and creeks in WRIA 9

How was the data set created?

1. From what previous works were the data drawn?
2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

   Date: 22-Jun-2016 (process 1 of 1)

   The WRIA 9 revegetation work group identified revegetation priority areas on hard copy maps. Areas were then digitized in GIS.

3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

1. How well have the observations been checked?
   Only one attribute.
2. How accurate are the geographic locations?
   Based on stream layer.
3. How accurate are the heights or depths?
   
4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
   
5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
   It is based on left or right bank of the rivers

How can someone get a copy of the data set?

Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
