Data_Quality_Information:

 Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
All attributes created during the creation process were verified by displaying the lines in both the database and the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed. Line geometry is topologically clean.
Completeness_Report:
The boundary of the WSA is dependent on man-made features(roads), natural feautres(streams, ridgelines, elevation lines) and plss/aliquot part lines.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data were created by delineating the boundary off a USGS 7.5 minute Topographic Map at 1:24000 scale. Therefore, the horizontal accuracy is assumed to be within National Map Accuracy Standards, with a horizontal accuracy of 45.6 feet at the 95% confidence level.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The data were delineated off a USGS 7.5 minute Topographic Map at 1:24000 scale. Therefore, the vertical accuracy is assumed to be within National Map Accuracy Standards, with a vertical accuracy of 11.9 feet at the 95% confidence level.
