Description:
Abstract:
The Surface Water Intake Coverage provides mapped locations of local water intake facilities. It also includes an ordered database of information linked to these mapped facilities. Knowledge of water intake facilities is imperative for a quick and effective response to potential oil spill situations. This coverage helps to bring such areas within the Indiana counties of Harrison, Crawford, Perry, Spencer, Warrick, Vandenburgh, and Posey; the Illinois counties of Gallatin, Hardin, Pope, Massac, and Pulaski; and the Kentucky counties of Jefferson, Hardin, Meade, Breckinridge, Hancock, Daviess, Henderson, Union, Crittenden, Livingston, McCracken, and Ballard to the attention of spill planners and responders. The locations of these facilities were obtained and quality assured/quality controlled using maps and individual feedback from various public agencies and private sector groups regarding specific sites.
Purpose:
In order to better protect unique commercial, environmental, and cultural resources from oil spills, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 mandated a coordinated effort by federal, state, and local regulatory agencies and the regulated community to enhance oil spill preparedness and response. This coverage provides the location and attached data for the 24 counties of the Western Ohio River Mapping Area. The development of spatial databases and geographic information systems is done pursuant to implementing the preparedness and response mandates of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
Supplemental_Information:
These data were prepared at map scales of 1:24,000 and are best used in applications of comparable resolution. In addition, these data were developed to meet specific project objectives related to contingency planning and spill response and therefore may not represent exhaustive feature inventories.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Great Lakes Commission staff working on the Area Contingency Planning project verified all descriptive and spatial attributes and collected confirmation from owners and/or managers of attributes and locations via surveys or direct external review. Spatial data were cross-checked with multiple sources. Quality assurance and quality control for the data were developed utilizing in-house standard operating procedures.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Data were developed for this layer utilizing primary sources, primarily federal, state, local and private owners/operators. Initial data were supplied by state regulatory agencies overseeing surface water intakes in hard copy and electronic formats. Data and locational information were surveyed through the owners/operators and the locational features were corrected to assure features, such as surface water intakes, were located on surface waters at the 1:24,000 scale on the appropriate base map. An exhaustive external review process was performed by the primary holders of data. Location and attribute information is only as accurate and complete as the information specifically applies to each individual record at the time of data development. Data for these surface water intake facilities are attributed points, plotted in ArcView 3.2 GIS. These polygons were generated in 1999 and updated in 2000 based on current information from primary sources but do not necessarily always exactly overlay the base map 7.5 minute quadrangle maps with previous publication dates.
Completeness_Report:
This coverage does not necessarily include all surface water intake facilities within the Western Ohio River Mapping Area. Primarily, the state regulatory agencies overseeing the surface water intakes provided the initial source and accurately portray these facilities, but not necessarily all facilities. Also, temporary or intermittent withdraws and those for agricultural purposes will not be represented. This layer represents available data as of 2000. Exhaustive efforts were made to compile as thorough an atlas as possible.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
Horizontal positional accuracy is tested by visual comparison of hard copy check plots to the source materials and verifying the location of the data on screeen relative to other data layers in the same geographic area.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Data for the "Surface Water Intakes" layer were developed from multiple sources. Sources included the the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Online Navigational Charts for the Louisville and Nashville Districts, and the state surface water intake regulatory agency for the State of Kentucky. Either hard copy or electronic information was utilized, including Internet sources citing the intake locations and attribute information, which was extracted as applicable. Address cross verification, updating and correction were done through the use of online Yellow Pages address listing sources. Additional site and locational information verifications were obtained from state and local land management agencies, and government agencies. In addition, U.S. Geological Survey 7.5 minute quadrangle maps for Indiana. Kentucky, and Illinois were reviewed for site identification and verification. The data were developed by the Great Lakes Commission and surveys were prepared for submission for each known surface water intake. The surveys were completed and returned to the Commission by the applicable owners/operators of the facilities. Additional phone and mail correspondence was also used to fill in applicable data gaps in the preparation of the draft atlas. The data was plotted in a GIS using ESRI's ArcView 3.2 and displayed against the digital raster imagery at a scale of 1:24,000. Data links were incorporated into these GIS files to match the mapped sites to the appropriate data record as outlined in Section 5.2.1, Entity and Attribute Overview. Draft hardcopy atlases were prepared from this data, supplied by the Great Lakes Commission, and the USGS's Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) in Onalaska, Wisconsin. The UMESC produced hardcopy maps in portable document files (.pdf) format at scales of 1:25,000 and 1:100,000. These maps were then reproduced and distributed by the Great Lakes Commission for external review by primary source data holders. All updated, corrected and amended information was then added to the project files and returned to the UMESC for distribution in .pdf hardcopy format; and electronic distribution via CD-ROM and the Internet. Final electronic formats include ArcView 3.2 shapefiles, .e00 ArcExport files, .pdfs, and converted CAMEO/MARPLOT files.
