			<abstract>Terrain data, as defined in FEMA Guidelines and Specifications, Appendix M: Data Capture Standards, describes the digital topographic data that was used to create the elevation data representing the terrain environment of a watershed and/or floodplain. Terrain data requirements allow for flexibility in the types of information provided as sources used to produce final terrain deliverables. Once this type of data is provided, FEMA will be able to account for the origins of the flood study elevation data. (Source: FEMA Guidelines and Specifications, Appendix M, Section M.4).</abstract>
			<purpose>Terrain data is used to represent the topography of a watershed and/or floodplain environment and to extract useful information for hydraulic and hydrologic models. (Source: FEMA Guidelines and Specs, Appendix M)</purpose>

		<logic>The Terrain data are consistent with the elevation dataset. The Terrain package includes source topographic data used to develop the Digital Terrain Model. The Digital Terrain Model consists of an ESRI terrain, clipping polygon, fishnet grid, and contours. Flood hazard boundaries do not extend beyond the ExternalBoundary, if exists.</logic>
		<complete>Data contained in the Terrain package highlights specific issues in the elevation datasets. Terrain data are derived datasets that aid automated hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, the flood hazard area boundary delineations, and quality control.</complete>

					<vertacce>Vertical accuracy assessment was performed in accordance with NSSDA methodology. The NSSDA implements a statistical and testing methodology for estimating the positional accuracy of points on maps and in digital geospatial data, with respect to georeferenced ground positions of higher accuracy, reported at the 95% confidence level.</vertacce>

				<srccontr>The unedited LiDAR data are classified to facilitate the application of the appropriate feature extraction filters. A combination of proprietary filters is 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 1.2 format. The header file for each dataset is complete as define by the LAS 1.2 specification. In addition the following fields are included: Flight Date Julian, Year, and Class. The LAS files do not include overlap. The data was classified as follows: Class 1 = Unclassified; Class 2 = Ground; Class 3 = Low Vegetation; Class 4 = Medium Vegetation; Class 5 = High Vegetation; Class 6 = Building; Class 7 = Low Point (noise) Class 9 = Water.</srccontr>

				<srccontr>This dataset, produced by the RAMPP, consists of a raster digital elevation model with a horizontal ground resolution of 20 feet. The model was constructed from the 0.25 resolution of terrain created from PAMAP LiDAR ground elevation points with a cell size of 20 feet. PAMAP data are organized into blocks, which do not have gaps or overlaps, that represent 10,000 feet by 10,000 feet on the ground. The coordinate system for blocks in the northern half of the state is Pennsylvania State Plane North (datum:NAD83, units: feet); blocks in the southern half of the state are in Pennsylvania State Plane South. A block name is formed by concatenating the first four digits of the State Plane northing and easting defining the block's northwest corner, the State identifier "PA", and the State Plane zone designator "N" or "S" (e.g. 45001210PAS).</srccontr>

				<procdesc>The mass points derived from LiDAR were used for producing terrain data which is necessary for creating an elevation surface for GIS-based/automated hydraulic modeling. Used LiDAR LAS class code 2 (ground) to build the Digital Terrain Model (DTM). MultipointZ and PolylineZ feature classes were created from the LiDAR mass points. Point spacing was defined at 4.60 ft. Four z pyramid levels were created during the processing: 0.25, 0.5, 1, and 5. Bare-earth (Z-level zero) is automatically created. A clipping polygon was used to define the extents of the DTM. The terrain feature class is stored in the SDE geodatabase for access by multiple users during floodplain modeling and mapping. A fishnet was created with GeoRAMPP terrain tool.</procdesc>
