            <abstract> The project area covers 318 square miles in the eastern half of Seminole County plus portions of north central and northeast Orange County in the state of Florida. The LiDAR data was collected 8 - 11 February 2009. The data are classified: 1 = Unclassified, 2 = Ground, 7 = Noise, 9 = Water and 12 = Overlap. </abstract>
            <purpose> To develop a consistent and accurate surface elevation dataset for a portion of the Central Florida Coordination Area (CFCA) in accordance with the Florida Department of Emergency Management (FDEM) Baseline Specifications. The CFCA defines an area that faces particularly difficult water supply issues. Three of Florida's Water Management Districts have jurisdiction in the CFCA: the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), the St. Johns River Water Management District
                (SJRWMD), and the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). These three water management districts are cooperating to develop and implement mutually acceptable strategies to provide adequate supplies of water to support projected growth without unacceptable impacts. </purpose>

                    <horizpae> Dewberry does not perform independent horizontal accuracy testing on the LiDAR. LiDAR vendors perform calibrations on the LiDAR sensor and compare data to adjoining flight lines to ensure LiDAR meets the 1 meter horizontal accuracy standard at the 95% confidence level. Please refer to Appendix D: LiDAR Processing Report, of the Lidar report referenced above in the Supplemental_Information field for more details. </horizpae>

                    <vertacce> Based on the vertical accuracy testing conducted by Dewberry, using NSSDA and FEMA methodology, vertical accuracy at the 95% confidence level (called Accuracyz) is computed by the formula RMSEz x 1.9600. The dataset for St. Johns River Water Management District satisfies the criteria: Lidar dataset tested 0.155 m (0.51 ft) fundamental vertical accuracy (FVA) at 95% confidence level in open terrain, based on open terrain RMSEz 0.079 m (0.26 ft) x 1.9600. Lidar
                        dataset tested 0.31 m (1.004 ft) consolidated vertical accuracy (CVA) at 95% confidence level in all land cover categories combined, based on consolidated RMSEz 0.137 m (0.45 ft) x 1.9600. Based on the vertical accuracy testing conducted by Dewberry, using NDEP and ASPRS methodology, consolidated vertical accuracy at the 95% confidence level is computed using the 95th percentile method. The dataset for St. Johns River Water Management District satisfies the criteria:
                        Lidar dataset tested 0.305 m (1.00 ft) consolidated vertical accuracy at 95% confidence level in all land cover categories combined.

                <procdesc> The ABGPS, IMU, and raw Leica ALS50 LiDAR data are integrated with Leica's Incorporated's ALS Post Processor software. The resultant file is in a LAS binary file format. The LAS file version 1.1 format can be easily transferred from one file format to another. It is a binary file format that maintains information specific to the LiDAR data (return#, intensity value, xyz, etc.). The resultant points are produced in the geodetic coordinates referenced to the NAD83 HARN
                    horizontal datum and NAVD88 vertical datum. The date and time for each flight line can be determined using the Julian date and time. The Julian date is a continuous count of days and fractions since noon Universal Time on January 1, 4713 BCE on the Julian calendar. </procdesc>

                <procdesc> The unedited data are classified to facilitate the application of the appropriate feature extraction filters. A combination of proprietary filters are applied as appropriate for the production of bare earth digital terrain models (dtms). Interactive editing methods are applied to those areas where it is inappropriate or impossible to use the feature extraction filters, based upon the design criteria and/or limitations of the relevant filters. These same feature
                    extraction filters are used to produce elevation height surfaces. The LiDAR mass points were delivered in American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing LAS 1.1 format. The header file for each dataset is complete as defined by the LAS 1.1 specification. In addition the following fields are included: Flight Date Julian, Year, and Class. The data was classified as follows: Class 1 = Unclassified. This class includes vegetation, buildings, noise etc. Class 2 = Ground
                    Class 7 = Noise Class 9 = Water Class 12 = Overlap </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>
