PROJECT TITLE: HAMILTON COUNTY IN COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS FOR NEW 3DEP AND 3DHP DATA DEVELOPMENT. PART 1: 3DEP DATA DEVELOPMENTPERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: 09 01 2025 - 08 31 2028PROJECT ABSTRACT SUMMARY HAMILTON COUNTY, INDIANA PROPOSES THIS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY (USGS) TO DELIVER NEW QUALITY-LEVEL 1 (QL1) 3DEP-COMPLIANT LIDAR DATA PRODUCTS FOR ACCEPTANCE INTO THE NATIONAL MAP. THIS AGREEMENT ALSO ESTABLISHES THE FOUNDATION FOR A CORRESPONDING ELEVATION-DERIVED HYDROGRAPHY (EDH) DATA DELIVERY TO THE USGS 3D HYDROGRAPHY PROGRAM (3DHP) AFTER THIS NEW 3DEP DATA IS ACCEPTED.AWARD PURPOSE: THE PURPOSE OF THIS AWARD IS TO ASSIST HAMILTON COUNTY IN COMPLETING THE FINAL PREPARATION, DELIVERY, AND ACCEPTANCE OF ITS NEW 2024 QL1 LIDAR DATASET UNDER USGS 3DEP PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. THIS PROJECT WILL ENSURE THAT THE COUNTYS LATEST HIGH-RESOLUTION ELEVATION DATA FORMALLY REPLACES THE CURRENT 2016 QL2 DATA, BECOMES PART OF THE USGS 3DEP HOLDINGS, AND SUPPORTS INDIANAS LONG-TERM PARTICIPATION IN THE USGS 3DEP AND 3DHP INITIATIVES.ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED: HAMILTON COUNTY WILL COORDINATE WITH USGS TO SUBMIT ALL REQUIRED QL1 LIDAR DELIVERABLES, INCLUDING CLASSIFIED POINT CLOUDS, HYDRO-FLATTENED BARE-EARTH DEMS, BREAKLINES, SWATH SEPARATION IMAGERY, METADATA, QA QC DOCUMENTATION INCLUDING VERTICAL ACCURACY ASSESSMENT. ACTIVITIES WILL ALSO INCLUDE RESPONDING TO ANY USGS QA QC CALLOUTS, PERFORMING REQUIRED ADJUSTMENTS OR CORRECTIONS IF NECESSARY, AND FINALIZING ALL DATA PRODUCTS FOR FORMAL ACCEPTANCE. CONTRACTED TECHNICAL SUPPORT FROM DEWBERRY ENGINEERS WILL ASSIST IN ANY REDELIVERY OR REVISION ACTIVITIES.DELIVERABLES AND EXPECTED OUTCOMES: DELIVERABLES INCLUDE THE COMPLETE SUBMISSION OF:CLASSIFIED QL1 LIDAR POINT CLOUDS (LAS FORMAT) (TESTED POINT DENSITY: 27.44 PPSM)HYDRO-FLATTENED BARE-EARTH DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS (DEMS)BREAKLINE AND HYDROLOGIC ENFORCEMENT FEATURESSWATH SEPARATION IMAGERYFGDC-COMPLIANT METADATAQA QC SUMMARY REPORTS DOCUMENTING INDEPENDENT REVIEW AND COMPLIANCE VERIFICATIONTHE EXPECTED OUTCOME IS FULL ACCEPTANCE OF HAMILTON COUNTYS QL1 LIDAR DATASET INTO THE USGS 3DEP PROGRAM, ENSURING THE DATA IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE THROUGH THE NATIONAL MAP. THE DATA WILL PROVIDE A MODERN ELEVATION BASE FOR FUTURE EDH DEVELOPMENT ALIGNED WITH USGS 3DHP SPECIFICATIONS.INTENDED BENEFICIARIES: THE INTENDED BENEFICIARIES OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDE HAMILTON COUNTY GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, INDIANA STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES, INDIANAS NRCS OFFICE, THE USGS, OTHER FEDERAL MAPPING AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THESE DATA WILL IMPROVE FLOOD RISK MAPPING, INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING, ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, AND STATEWIDE HYDROGRAPHY MODERNIZATION EFFORTS.SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES: NO SUBRECIPIENT ACTIVITIES ARE PROPOSED UNDER THIS AWARD. ALL ACTIVITIES WILL BE MANAGED DIRECTLY BY HAMILTON COUNTY, WITH TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER AN EXISTING CONTRACT WITH DEWBERRY ENGINEERS.
