This data set consists of geo-referenced digital data and associated attributes created in accordance with the "FGDC Proposal, Version 1.0 - Federal Standards For Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries 3/01/02" (http://www.ftw.nrcs.usda.gov/huc_data.html). These polygons are attributed with hydrologic unit codes and names for 4th level sub-basins. The native projection of the Watershed Boundary Dataset was UTM zone 16T. This extract has been projected to the Wisconsin Transverse Mercator (WTM) coordinate system for use in DNR applications. The dataset extent is the state of Wisconsin, plus the extent of 8-digit HUCs that extend across the state line into northern Illinois and western upper Michigan.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DIV> <DT><I>Purpose:</I></DT> <PRE ID="original">The Watershed and Subwatershed hydrologic unit boundaries provide a uniquely identified and uniform method of subdividing large drainage areas. The smaller sized 6th level sub-watersheds (up to 40,000 acres) are useful for numerous application programs supported by a variety of local, State, and Federal Agencies. This data set is intended to be used as a tool for water-resource management and planning activities, particularly for site-specific and localized studies requiring a level of detail provided by large-scale map information. The dataset will be appended to a larger seamless nationally consistent geospatial database as other states complete their portion of the watershed boundary dataset.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Time_Period_of_Content:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Time_Period_Information:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Single_Date/Time:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Calendar_Date:</I> 20070331</DT> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DIV> <DT><I>Currentness_Reference:</I></DT> <PRE ID="original">Publication date of sources</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Status:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Progress:</I> Complete</DT> <DT><I>Maintenance_and_Update_Frequency:</I> Unknown</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Spatial_Domain:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Bounding_Coordinates:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>West_Bounding_Coordinate:</I> -92.964298</DT> <DT><I>East_Bounding_Coordinate:</I> -86.709079</DT> <DT><I>North_Bounding_Coordinate:</I> 47.083079</DT> <DT><I>South_Bounding_Coordinate:</I> 41.271162</DT> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Keywords:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Theme:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword_Thesaurus:</I> None</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> HUC</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Hydrologic Units</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Hydrologic Unit Code</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Region</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Sub-region</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Basin</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Sub-basin</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Watershed</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Watershed Boundaries</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> boundaries</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Subwatershed</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> WBD</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Watershed Boundary Dataset</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> WI-HUC</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Wisconsin Watershed Boundary Dataset</DT> <DT><I>Theme_Keyword:</I> Wisconsin WBD</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Place:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Place_Keyword_Thesaurus:</I> None</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> WI</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> USA</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> St. Croix National Scenic Riverway</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> Great Lakes Basin</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> Mississippi River Basin</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> Upper Mississippi River Basin</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> Lake Superior Basin</DT> <DT><I>Place_Keyword:</I> Lake Michigan Basin</DT> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Access_Constraints:</I> None</DT> <DIV> <DT><I>Use_Constraints:</I></DT> <PRE ID="original">The distributor shall not be held liable for improper or incorrect use of this data, based on the description of appropriate/inappropriate uses described in this metadata document. It is strongly recommended that this data is directly acquired from the distributor and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. These data should not be used at scales greater than 1:24,000 for the purpose of identifying hydrographic watershed boundary feature locations in Wisconsin. NRCS should be acknowledged as the data source in products derived from these data. The Wisconsin Watershed Boundary Dataset is public information and may be interpreted by all organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate application of the data. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to reassign to the Natural Resources Conservation Service any authority for the decisions they make. The Natural Resources Conservation Service will not perform any evaluations of these maps or purposes related solely to State or local regulatory programs. Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater than that at which they were originally delineated can result in misrepresentation of the data. If enlarged, the maps will not include the fine detail that would be appropriate for mapping at the small scale. Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data from the source distributor.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DT><I>Point_of_Contact:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Contact_Information:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Contact_Organization_Primary:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Contact_Organization:</I> U.

The map was digitized from USGS 1:24,000-scale digital raster graphic base maps, with an inherited error of +/- 40 feet according to the USGS National Map Accuracy Standards. It is estimated that any errors detected were less than 10%. It should also be noted that while general rules of hydrology were used (i.e. natural water flow is downhill), the locations of boundaries is still somewhat subjective as the 1:24,000-scale DRG's do not always provide enough information for identifying the location of the boundaries.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Lineage:</I></DT> <DD> <DL>

It is strongly recommended that this data is directly acquired from the distributor and not indirectly through other sources which may have changed the data in some way. These data should not be used at scales greater than 1:24,000 for the purpose of identifying hydrographic watershed boundary feature locations in Wisconsin. U.S. Department of Agriculture makes no claims for the data's suitability for other purposes. U.S. Department of Agriculture should be acknowledged as the data source in products derived from these data. The Wisconsin Watershed Boundary Dataset is public information and may be interpreted by all organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate application of the data. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to reassign to the U.S. Department of Agriculture or the Natural Resources Conservation Service any authority for the decisions they make. The Natural Resources Conservation Service will not perform any evaluations of these maps or purposes related solely to State or local regulatory programs. Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater than that at which they were originally delineated can result in misrepresentation of the data. If enlarged, the maps will not include the fine detail that would be appropriate for mapping at the small scale. Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data from the source distributor.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DT><I>Standard_Order_Process:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Digital_Form:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Digital_Transfer_Information:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Format_Name:</I> Arc Export</DT> <DT><I>File_Decompression_Technique:</I> none</DT> <DT><I>Transfer_Size:</I> 22.463</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Digital_Transfer_Option:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Online_Option:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Computer_Contact_Information:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Network_Address:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Network_Resource_Name:</I> <A TARGET="viewer" HREF="http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov"> http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov</A> </DT> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Fees:</I> none</DT> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> </DL> <A HREF="#Top">Back to Top</A> <A name="Metadata_Reference_Information"><HR /></A> <DL> <DT><I>Metadata_Reference_Information:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Metadata_Date:</I> 20080404</DT> <DT><I>Metadata_Contact:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Contact_Information:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Contact_Person_Primary:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Contact_Person:</I> Milo Anderson</DT> <DT><I>Contact_Organization:</I> U.S. EPA</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Contact_Address:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Address_Type:</I> mailing address</DT> <DIV> <DT><I>Address:</I></DT> <PRE ID="original">77W Jackson Blvd.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <DT><I>City:</I> Chicago</DT> <DT><I>State_or_Province:</I> Illinois</DT> <DT><I>Postal_Code:</I> 60604</DT> <DT><I>Country:</I> USA</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Contact_Voice_Telephone:</I> 312-886-6096</DT> <DT><I>Contact_Electronic_Mail_Address:</I> anderson.milo@epa.gov</DT> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Metadata_Standard_Name:</I> FGDC Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata</DT> <DT><I>Metadata_Standard_Version:</I> FGDC-STD-001-1998</DT> <DT><I>Metadata_Time_Convention:</I> local time</DT> <DT><I>Metadata_Extensions:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Online_Linkage:</I> <A TARGET="viewer" HREF="http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html"> http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html</A> </DT> <DT><I>Profile_Name:</I> ESRI Metadata Profile</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Metadata_Extensions:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Online_Linkage:</I> <A TARGET="viewer" HREF="http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html"> http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html</A> </DT> <DT><I>Profile_Name:</I> ESRI Metadata Profile</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Metadata_Extensions:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Online_Linkage:</I> <A TARGET="viewer" HREF="http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html"> http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html</A> </DT> <DT><I>Profile_Name:</I> ESRI Metadata Profile</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Metadata_Extensions:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Online_Linkage:</I> <A TARGET="viewer" HREF="http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html"> http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html</A> </DT> <DT><I>Profile_Name:</I> ESRI Metadata Profile</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Metadata_Extensions:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Online_Linkage:</I> <A TARGET="viewer" HREF="http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html"> http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html</A> </DT> <DT><I>Profile_Name:</I> ESRI Metadata Profile</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Metadata_Extensions:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Online_Linkage:</I> <A TARGET="viewer" HREF="http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html"> http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html</A> </DT> <DT><I>Profile_Name:</I> ESRI Metadata Profile</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Metadata_Extensions:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Online_Linkage:</I> <A TARGET="viewer" HREF="http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html"> http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html</A> </DT> <DT><I>Profile_Name:</I> ESRI Metadata Profile</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Metadata_Extensions:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Online_Linkage:</I> <A TARGET="viewer" HREF="http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html"> http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html</A> </DT> <DT><I>Profile_Name:</I> ESRI Metadata Profile</DT> </DL> </DD> <DT><I>Metadata_Extensions:</I></DT> <DD> <DL> <DT><I>Online_Linkage:</I> <A TARGET="viewer" HREF="http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html"> http://www.esri.com/metadata/esriprof80.html</A> </DT> <DT><I>Profile_Name:</I> ESRI Metadata Profile</DT> </DL> </DD> </DL> </DD> </DL> <A HREF="#Top">Back to Top</A> </BODY> </HTML>
