            <abstract> This Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) LAS dataset is a topographic survey conducted for the St. Louis District of the Army Corps of Engineers and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) of Pine County, Minnesota. The data were collected October 25 - November 4, 2006. The data cover approximately 1435 square miles and were collected at an average of 3 meters point spacing. The LAS points in this data set are classified as
                unclassified and ground. A footprint of the coverage for this data set may be viewed in Google Earth at: ftp://ftp.csc.noaa.gov/pub/crs/beachmap/qa_docs/mn/2006_Pine_County_Minnesota_Lidar.kmz </abstract>
            <purpose> This data will be used by the USDA and/or USACE to generate contours for use in hydraulic/hydrologic model development, and for assessing environmental impacts. </purpose>

                <procdesc> The NOAA Coastal Services Center (CSC) received files in LAS format. The files contained LiDAR intensity and elevation measurements. CSC performed the following processing on the data to make it available within Digital Coast: 1. The data were converted from UTM, Zone 15 coordinates to geographic coordinates. 2. The data were converted from NAVD88 heights to ellipsoid heights using Geoid03. 3. The LAS header fields were sorted by latitude and updated. </procdesc>

                <procdesc> The NOAA National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) received Lidar data files by ftp. The data received compressed containing LiDAR data from the NOAA Coastal Services Center. The data are currently being served via Digital Coastl at http://www.csc.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/. The data can be used to re-populate the system. The data are provided in LAS format. LAS format is an industry standard for serving LiDAR data. The data are exclusively in geographic coordinates,
                    however, the datums used vary. Most are NAD 83, however some are in ITRF. Vertical systems include both ellipsoid (ITRF and NAD 83) and NAVD 88. For NAVD 88 values, Geiod 03 is primarily used; however, data received in NAVD 88 prior to 2003 was processed using Geoid 99. </procdesc>
