Terrain data, as defined in FEMA Guidelines and Specifications, Appendix N: 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 N, Section N.1.2). NAD83 State Plane Kentucky Single Zone FIPS
1600 is the projection and coordinate system for this project.

Completeness Commission
evaluation Method Description
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.
Completeness Omission
evaluation Method Description
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.
ConceptualConsistency
measure Description
The Terrain data are consistent with the Elevation dataset. A comparison of profile plots with the flow vector data confirms
that flow vectors are correctly drawn. Flood hazard boundaries do not extend beyond the ExternalBoundary, if exists. FIRM
panels show the flood hazard area delineations where Island data are present.
