2006 Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) Lidar: Chambers County
Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
Using a LH Systems ALS50 Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) system, flight lines of standard density (1.4 meter ground sample
distance) data were collected over areas in Chambers County, TX (approximately 633 square miles). Multiple returns were recorded
for each laser pulse along with an intensity value for each return. The data acquisition occurred in missions between April
22, 2006, and June 12, 2006. The data was collected by Sanborn Mapping Company, Inc. for the Texas Water Development Board
(TWDB) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

purpose:
This LIDAR operation was designed to provide a high density set of masspoints within the defined areas. The data sets are
suitable for the development of contours for use in hydraulic/hydrologic model development, and for assessing environmental
impacts. Typical uses for the data set include: FEMA Flood Plain Map Modernization, DFIRM map updates, watersheds and other
hydro studies per FEMA specifications, county mapping projects, and flood mitigation assessment.

Use limitation statement:
These data depict the elevations at the time of the survey and are only accurate for that time. Users should be aware that
temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and some parts of this data may no longer represent actual
surface conditions. Users should not use this data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations.

While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state
of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of
the failure of the data to function on a particular system. NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor does the fact
of distribution constitute such a warranty.
