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 Department of Natural Resources (WADNR) to collect Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data and digital imagery in the winter of 2017 and summer of 2018, respectively, for the Tacoma Water Service Area (TWSA) site in Washington. This contract also incorporates LiDAR data and digital imagery collection and processing over additional nearby sites, including the Green River Watershed, Green River Corridor, and a selected portion of the Green River Watershed which will be used for forestry analytics. QSI provided TWSA Delivery 1 on April 6th, 2018, representing approximately 94% (104,495 acres) of the site. TWSA Delivery 2 represents the remaining 6% (7,186 acres) of the site. This data report summarizes the collection and processing of the full extent of the TWSA site (111,681 acres), consisting of Delivery 1 and Delivery 2 areas of interest. Data were collected to aid WADNR in assessing the 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.
