Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: OR Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Publication_Date: Unpublished Material Title: Watershed Boundaries Washington Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: vector digital data Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Portland, Oregon Publisher: OR BLM Online_Linkage: None Description: Abstract: This geospatial dataset represents the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) layer for Washington and it contains nested hydrologic unit boundaries to the 6th level (12-digit). Hydrologic units within the WBD represent drainage areas delineated to nest in multilevel, hierarchical drainage systems. Their boundaries are defined by hydrographic and topographic criteria that delineate an area of land upstream from a specific point on a river, stream, or similar surface waters. Hydrologic units within the WBD can accept surface water directly from upstream drainage areas, and indirectly from associated surface areas such as remnant, non-contributing, and diversions to form a drainage area with single or multiple outlet points. Boundaries within the Washington WBD were delineated by Pacific Northwest (PNW) Hydrography Framework Partners and NRCS to meet state requirements and to contribute to the national WBD repository. To meet these goals, the WBD must adhere to the "Federal Standards for Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries", dated October, 2004. The Washington dataset has been submitted to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) for national certification. Prior to submission the dataset was subjected to an iterative review and edit process to ensure that the hydrologic boundaries fully satisfy the federal standards. This work was completed under a Memorandum of Understanding between the Pacific Northwest Hydrography Framework Partnership, NRCS and the US Geological Survey (USGS). The current dataset includes boundaries for all 4th level (8-digit) subbasins that fall within or intersect the Washington state boundary. Purpose: This dataset was created to meet both national and regional requirements. It satisfies the national requirement for a seamless hydrologic unit boundary dataset for the nation that is developed at the 1;24,000 scale. Regionally, the dataset will be used for a number of specific purposes including resource management planning, watershed analysis, NEPA cumulative effects analysis, ESA consultation, biological assessments, water quality restoration plans, water temperature assessments, watershed council project support, etc. Supplemental_Information: ftp://ftp-fc.sc.egov.usda.gov/NCGC/products/watershed/hu-standards.pdf The watershed and subwatershed hydrologic unit boundaries provide a uniquely identified and uniform method of subdividing large drainage areas. These smaller sized hydrologic units (up to 250,000 acres) are useful in many programs supported by the NRCS and others.

The PNWHF Partnership initiated a workshop-oriented process whereby agreed-upon hydrologic boundaries were accepted or delineated using 1:24,000 scale Digital Raster Graphics. A number of new Hydrological Unit Boundaries were also delineated using flow lines and basins computed from 10- and 30-meter horizontal resolution Digital Elevation data based on flow derived from the elevation grid to determine potential pour points. This workshop process resulted in a seamless hydrologic boundary dataset for Washington. The PNWHF dataset was made available via its website for operational edits. PNWHF Partners downloaded the dataset, edited boundaries and attribution, and submitted the updated dataset back to the PNWHF server. The dataset was frozen prior to submittal to the review and edit process, the precursor to NRCS certification.

It was agreed that the Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) would be the primary source used for delineating boundaries. Arc, polygon and attribute adjustments were made to each PNW workarea. It was agreed by the PNW Partners and the USGS to utilize the high resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) to assist with delineating hydrologic unit boundaries and locating pour points wherever possible. In these locations, the Washington WBD may deviate from the primary DRG base. The three water hydrologic units in the Columbia River (170800060500, 170800030700 & 170900120500) utilized the NHD Area and NHD Waterbody featureclasses to delineate their shorelines. It was agreed by the PNW Partners and the USGS to use the 2001 Washington State ShoreZone Inventory (szline.shp) from the Washington State Dept of Natural Resources as the coastline for the Washington WBD. This coastline extends from the mouth of the Columbia River to the north. This includes the Pacific coastline, Willapa Bay, Grays Harbor, the Strait of Juan De Fuca, the Puget Sound, and all of the islands. The Washington State ShoreZone Inventory delineates the mean high water mark and the salt water shorelines. It was agreed by the PNW Partners and the USGS to utilize the British Columbia, Canada, Watershed Atlas datasets (1:50,000 scale) to assist with delineating hydrologic units that cross the international boundary. The Washington WBD stops at the international boundary but efforts were made to match the Canadian datasets where possible. Changes were limited in the dataset to only those modifications that were needed to meet the national guidelines. Replacement of boundary lines or HU names that already met the standard was to be avoided. There were two reviews by PNW Hydrography Framework (PNWHF) stewards and NRCS stewards before a final was delivered back to PNWHF by USGS. After each review the USGS incorporated changes that were identified and agreed-upon during the review process.

The 2-digit postal abbreviation in upper case and in alphabetical order was used, separated with a comma. Ncontrb_a: Non-Contributing Area Drainage areas that do not flow toward the outlet of any hydrologic unit are considered non-contributing. If a non-contributing area is on the boundary between two or more hydrologic units, the non-contributing area is associated with the hydrologic unit adjacent to the low point on the boundary. This attribute should be the total of the non-contributing areas within a hydrologic unit calculated in acres. Hu_10_ds: Fifth Level Downstream Hydrologic Unit Code This field has the 10-digit code of the 5th level hydrologic unit that is receiving the majority of the flow from the watershed that the 6th level HU falls within. Outlets created by ditching or other artificial drainage were not considered for this field. If an HU flows into an ocean or the Gulf of Mexico, this field was populated with "OCEAN" and if a HU flows into one of the Great Lakes the term "LAKE" was used. If a HU flows across international borders, "CANADA" or "MEXICO" was used depending on which country the HU drains into. If an HU is a closed basin, then the term "CLOSED BASIN"was used. Hu_10_name: Fifth Level Hydrologic Unit Name This field used officially recognized names only. This field was populated by following the directions in subsection 6.3 "Watershed and Subwatershed Naming Protocol". The name used to attribute the watershed was used only once within a 4th level unit. Hu_10_mod: Fifth Level Hydrologic Unit Modifications This field identifies any type of modifications to natural overland flow that alters the location of the hydrologic unit boundary for a 10-digit watershed. This field shows the most significant to least significant modification(s) to the watershed boundary. One or more of the following abbreviations was used. SC - Stormwater Canal or Drainage Canal ID - Irrigation Ditch IT - Interbasin Transfer BC - Barge Canal or Navigation Canal SD - Stormwater Ditch PD - Pipe Diversion CD - Channel Diversion NC - Noncontributing Area KA - Karst LE - Levee NM - No Modifications OC - Overflow Channel or Flume DM - Dam at outlet or HU boundary GC - General Canal/Ditch PS - Pumping Station DD - Drainage Ditch SI - Siphon AD - Aqueduct RS - Reservoir TF - Transportation Feature (road, railroad, docks etc.) GF - Ground-Water Flow MA - Mining Activity UA - Urban Area GL - Glacier IF - Ice Field OF - Overbank Flow OT - Other Hu_10_type: Fifth Level Hydrologic Unit Type This field was populated with the hydrologic unit type from the list provided that most closely identifies the watershed. S - "Standard" hydrologic unit - Any land HU with drainage flowing to a single outlet point, excluding non-contributing areas. This includes areas or small triangular wedges between adjacent HU's that remain after classic hydrologic units are delineated. Some examples include "true", "classic", "composite", and "remnant" hydrologic units. C - "Closed Basin" hydrologic unit - A drainage area that is 100% non-contributing. This means all surface flow is internal, no overland flow leaves the hydrologic unit through the outlet point. F - "Frontal" hydrologic unit - Areas along the coastline of lakes, oceans, bays, etc. that have more than one outlet. These HU's are predominantly land with some water areas at or near the outlet(s). M - “Multiple Outlet” hydrologic unit An area that has more than one natural outlet; for example, an outlet located on a stream with multiple channels. This does not include frontal or water hydrologic units, hydrologic units with artificial interbasin transfers, drainage outlets through karst or ground-water flow, or outlets that cross a stream with an island. This code should be used only in rare instances. W - "Water" hydrologic unit - Hydrologic units that are predominantly water with adjacent land areas, ex. lake, easturies, harbors. I - "Island" hydrologic unit - A hydrologic unit that is one or more islands and adjacent water out to the toe of the shore face. U - "Unclassified" hydrologic unit - A hydrologic unit that can't be defined or doesn't fit into one of the types that have been listed. Hu_12_ds: Sixth Level Downstream Hydrologic Unit Code This field was populated with the 12-digit code of the 6th level hydrologic unit that is receiving the majority of the flow from the subwatershed. Outlets created by ditching or other artificial drainage were not considered for this field. If a HU flows into an ocean or the Gulf of Mexico it was populate with "OCEAN" and if a HU flows into one of the Great Lakes the term "LAKE" was used. If a HU flows across international borders, "CANADA" or "MEXICO" was used depending on which country the HU drains into. If an HU is a closed basin, this field was populated with the term "CLOSED BASIN". Hu_12_name: Sixth Level Hydrologic Unit Name Officially recognized names were used in this field. This field was populated by following the directions in subsection 6.3 "Watershed and Subwatershed Naming Protocol". The name used to attribute the subwatershed was used only once within a 4th level unit. Hu_12_mod: Sixth Level Hydrologic Unit Modifications This field identifies any type of man-made modification(s) to natural overland flow that alters the location of the hydrologic unit boundary for a 12-digit subwatershed. One or more of the following abbreviations was chosen for this field.

This field is populated with the highest hydrologic unit level (smallest number) for the line (arc) represented by the record. The attribute was recorded using numbers 1 through 6 representing each level with 1 being the highest and 6 the lowest level. An example would be if a line represents a region, subregion, basin, subbasin, watershed, and subwatershed boundary, then this cell was populated with a 1 (Region). Below is a list of numbers used for each level. Level Digit# Name 1 2 Region 2 4 Subregion 3 6 Basin 4 8 Subbasin 5 10 Watershed 6 12 Subwatershed Linesource: Line Spatial Data Source The Linesource indicates the base map source(s) used to delineate at 1:24,000 scale. The field was populated using one of the standardized code(s) listed below. If more than one code was used, then a comma was used to separate the codes. TOPO24 - Delineation from hardcopy 1:24,000 scale topographic maps TOPO25 - Delineation from hardcopy 1:25,000 topgraphic maps, only Alaska and Caribbean TOPO63 - Delineation from hardcopy 1:63,360 topographic maps, only Alaska and Caribbean DRG24 - Delineation from 1:24,000 scale Digital Raster Graphics DRG25 - Delineation from 1:25,000 Digital Raster Graphics, only Alaska and Caribbean DRG63 - Delineation from 1:63,360 Digital Raster Graphics, only Alaska and Caribbean DEM10 - Derived from 10 meter Digital Elevation Model DEM30 - Derived from 30 meter Digital Elevation Model NED30 - Derived from 30 meter National Elevation Dateset Model EDNA30 - (formally NED-H), derived from 30 meter Elevation Derivatives for National Applications BATH"scale" (ex.

Meta_id: Metadata ID Number The Metadata ID is a code that identifies which metadata file applies to the arc. In most cases there is only one metadata file. However, in some cases more than one metadata file was used to identify different groups and/or procedures used to produce the lines. The metadata ID is a 4-character code starting with the 2-letter state postal code, followed by a 2-digit sequence number. For example "OK01", "ID02", etc Entity_and_Attribute_Detail_Citation: Federal Standard for Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries The WBD_Washington coverage contains attributes for polygons and arcs. Hydrologic Unit delineations are closed polygons that encompass all area draining toward the lowest point (called pour point) in the polygon. Because of nominal sizes for the different hydrologic unit level: Watershed (40,000 to 250,000 acres) and Subwatershed (generally 10,000 to 40,000 acres), some polygons do not include all areas up to the drainage divide but all areas to one or more other upstream hydrologic units. A unique hydrologic unit code is used to identify each hydrologic unit. The hydrologic unit codes start with the 8-digit Sub-basin (huc_8) number that contains the Watershed. Likewise the Subwatershed hydrologic unit codes (huc_12) start with the 10-digit Watershed number (huc_10) that contains the Subwatershed. Attributes associated with a hydrologic unit code includes: ACRES, HUC_10_TYPE, HUC_12_TYPE, HUC_10_MOD, HUC_12_MOD, , HU_8_NAME, HU_10_NAME, HU_12_NAME, STATES, NCONTRB_A, HU_10_DS, HU_12_DS, HUC_MOD, COMMENT, HUC_8, HUC_10, HUC_12, HU_10_GNIS_NUM, HU_12_GNIS_NUM, HUC_LEVEL, LINESOURCE, LINEVER, LINEDATE, LINEORG, META_ID, COMMENT.
