Watershed Sciences, Inc. (WSI) collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data of the Upper Naches River Valley and Nile Slide area of interest on
September 30th, 2011-October 1st, 2011 and April 5th, 2012 for the Puget Sound LiDAR Consortium. The valley bottom was reflown in 2012 during "leaf-off"
conditions, to ensure a more detailed bare earth model, and matched with the upslope data from 2011 to provide a seamless dataset. The requested area was
expanded to include a 100m buffer to ensure complete coverage and adequate point densities around survey area boundaries. The total acreage of this
delivery is 23,771 acres of LiDAR data.
The LiDAR survey utilized a Leica ALS60 sensor in a Cessna Caravan 208B. Please see "Project Report" below for specific
information regarding the airborne survey and ground survey.
This Lidar survey acheived a nominal point spacing of 11.60 points per square meter.
This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
