No metadata record was provided with the data. This record is populated with information from the Quantum Spatial, Inc. technical report downloaded from the Washington Dept. of Natural Resources Washington Lidar Portal. The technical report is available for download from the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record. In September 2017, Quantum Spatial (QSI) was contracted by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) to collect topobathymetric Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data in the spring of 2018 for the Tacoma Water Service Area: Green River site in western Washington. The Tacoma Water Service Area: Green River area of interest stretches from the Green River Water Filtration Facility upriver past the town of Lester into Stampede Pass. Traditional near-infrared (NIR) LiDAR was fully integrated with green wavelength (bathymetric) LiDAR in order to provide a comprehensive topobathymetric LiDAR dataset. This contract also incorporates LiDAR data collection and processing over additional nearby sites, including the Green River Watershed (for forestry analytics) and the Tacoma Water Service Area. Data were collected to aid WADNR in assessing the channel morphology, topographic, and geophysical properties of the study area. In addition to these lidar point data, the bare earth Digital Elevation Models (DEM) created from the lidar point data are also available. These data are available for custom download at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
