Abstract
                            The DNR water course (WC), water body (WB), and water shoreline (WS) datasets, collectively known as DNR HYDRO, make up the most up-to-date hydrography layer for the state of Washington.  WC represents water courses as arcs or lines.  These occur alone as single arcs representing streams, ditches, or pipelines, or as centerlines through water body polygons such as double-banked streams, lakes, impoundments, reservoirs, wet areas, or glaciers.  WB represents water bodies as polygonal features.  WB includes features such as Puget Sound, lakes, wet areas, reservoirs, impoundments, glaciers, islands, and dams.  WS represents shorelines as polygon perimeter arcs.  The WC and WBWS are edited daily and simultaneously; updates are posted weekly for internal DNR use and monthly for external use.  Attribute interrelationships within the WC and within the WBWS and spatial and attribute interrelationships between the WC and WBWS are maintained.  DNR HYDRO is continually updated through the DNR Forest Practices Water Type Modification Form process.  DNR HYDRO is mixed scale.  The nominal scale is considered 1:24,000, but some data at larger scales are included.
                          
Purpose
                            These layers are used primarily for the administration of County critical areas and shoreline regulations (ICC 17.02, 17.02A, 17.02B, & 17.05).

It is known that some DNR streams are not accurate as to the actual stream course.  Accuracy could be improved by using DNR regulatory data along with the “actual location” data from Matt Nash.

This layer is provided by WA State Dept of Natural Resources.  Last update was done for Island County by DNR 4/30/2013.  Island County is working with this latest layer.

Attribute
Attribute LabelWC_LLID_NR
Attribute Definition
The watercourse longitude/latitude identifier number (LLID) is a whole stream identifier. The LLID has 13 characters, is unique to each stream from headwaters to confluence. Routes can be built using the LLID. The LLID is based on the position of the downstream point (mouth or confluence) of the watercourse, and is created by concatenating the decimal degreevalues (to four places of precision) of the coordinates (without the decimal points). There is no valid defaultvalue for this field and it must be populated.

Attribute
Attribute LabelWC_GNIS_NM
Attribute Definition
Watercourse Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) name. The name of the represented feature in the USGS GNIS database (http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/index.html). Not all features will have a GNIS name and number, but all features with GNIS names will have GNIS numbers and vice versa. The WC_GNIS_NM applies to the surface water feature, often a whole stream. Each arc composing the named feature will have the same GNIS name and number. Names entered into GNIS have been approved by the US Board on Geographic Names. When the Washington State Board on Geographic Names approves a name, the proposal is forwarded on to the US Board for their review. There are rare cases where the WA and US Board disagree, and in that case, the Washington name is not entered into GNIS. DNR is aware of one such disagreement: Crater Glacier (US Board) vs. Tulutson Glacier (WA Board).

Attribute

Attribute
Attribute LabelFP_WTRTY_1975_CD
Attribute Definition
Forest Practices water type legacy code. The original water type classifications used in conjunction with DNR Forest Practices regulations between 1975 and (1) March 1, 2005 for Western Washington and (2) March 1, 2006 for Eastern Washington. DNR will neither keep the FP_WTRTY_1975_CD current nor synchronized with on-going changes to the new water typing system. The new system was implemented March 1, 2005 for Western Washington and March 1, 2006 for Eastern Washington. Generally, the FP_WTRTY_1975_CD and FP_WTRTY_1975_DT fields are not edited under the new water typing system. Neither FP_WTRTY_1975_CD nor FP_WTRTY_1975_DT are edited for new system spatial adds or tabular only database changes. For new system spatial updates these fields are edited only to transfer existing values to an arc that is added as part of a spatial update to an existing stream (a realign). Basically, once the new scheme was turned "on" the FP_WTRTY_1975_CD was frozen. Except as noted above, FP_WTRTY_1975_CD will be blank or 0 for any new arc added since the implementation dates. The water typing system was developed solely for the regulation of forest practices (WAC 222).

Attribute
Attribute LabelWC_CONTU_LABEL_NM
Attribute Definition
Watercourse continuity label. This is the classification of stream flow in relation to its expression at the earth's surface. The most common condition is that a stream is continuous. An example of using WC_CONTU_CD with WC_PERIOD_CD: If areas of perennial, intermittent or ephemeral flow exist along a stream reach they are not separated out; the hydrologist chooses the dominant periodicity and calls the continuity "interrupted". If the reach is not continuously perennial or intermittent it is described as "interrupted". This attribute describes the physical characteristics of a stream. The scale at which the data are captured or displayed may also be a factor to consider.

Basically, once the new scheme was turned ‘on’ the FP_WTRTY_1975_DT was frozen. Except as noted above, FP_WTRTY_1975_DT will be blank or 0 for any new arc added since the implementation dates. The water typing system was developed solely for the regulation of forest practices (WAC 222).

Attribute LabelFP_WTRTY_CD
Attribute Definition
Forest Practices water type code. DNR Forest Practices water type codes as described in WAC 222-16-031, interim water typing system. This water typing system was implemented in Western Washington March 1, 2005 and in Eastern Washington March 1, 2006. The water type code is based on the Forest Practices Rules, Forest Practices Board Manual Section 13 field surveys, and a multi-parameter, field verified geographic information system (GIS) logistic regression model. The water typing model is based on thousands of field surveys of fish presence and fish habitat. Other model parameters are gradient, elevation, basin size and average annual precipitation derived from the US Geological Survey's digital elevation model (DEM) for the state of Washington. Technical considerations required that the model be developed on a ‘virtual’ stream network system derived from the DEM database. The DEM-based model results were then transferred to the DNR's hydrographic GIS ‘map’ (WCHYDRO) (also known as the water type map) in order to implement the new letter water type codes. Qualifying field observations over-ride model results. DNR water types are intended solely for the implementation of the forest practice rules (WAC 222).

Attribute LabelFP_EXP_CD
Attribute Definition
Forest Practices water type explanation code. Explains how each stream segment or hydrographic feature within WCHYDRO has been assigned its current water type (FP_WTRTY_CD) value. It is a supplemental Forest Practices Water Type Coding system to be used in conjunction with the FP_WTRTY_CD, providing a more in-depth explanation of the assigned water type code of each stream segment and hydrographic feature. Historical Background. The Forest Practices water typing system is based on a multi-parameter, field-verified geographic information system (GIS) logistic regression model and allows for water type changes and modifications by water typing surveys as administered by DNR Forest Practices and reviewed by the Timber/Fish/Wildlife Agreement cooperators. The new system became operational for Western Washington on March 1, 2005, and for Eastern Washington on March 1, 2006. This system uses WAC 222-16-031’s S, F, and N water type codes with two additional water type codes assigned to un-typed/unknown waters (U) and other non-typed hydrographic features (X). Not all streams and hydrographic features were typed directly as a result of the modeling process, so the FP_EXP_CD was created, in part, to distinguish modeled from non-modeled streams and provide the means to track model performance over time by coding water type changes to modeled streams. It was also created to provide additional information concerning the typing of watercourse features and cartographic elements outside of the model environment.

Attribute
Attribute LabelFP_REF_ID
Attribute Definition
Forest Practices Reference Identification number. Jurisdiction Reference Number. Used as the water type modification form (WTMF) document number. This is the tracking number used to uniquely identify WTMF entered into the database since the Fall of 2000. WTMF are the means by which changes to the DNR HYDRO GIS database (also known as the water type map) are proposed. There has been an approved water type modification form (WTMF) if FP_REF_ID has avalue in one of the following three formats: FP_REF_ID = '0000WW1234' where 0000 is a placeholder in the database, WW is two digit WRIA#, and 1234 is sequential number. This format used Fall 2000 to Spring 2008. (2) FP_REF_ID = 'RRWWYY1234' where RR is two letter Jurisdiction abbreviation, WW is two digit WRIA#, YY is two digit year, and 1234 is sequential number (starting at 0001 at start of each year). This is the Jurisdiction Reference Number which is assigned to all WTMF beginning Spring 2008. (3) If FP_REF_ID is in format '0000WW0000' or there is novalue, then there is no WTMF and has been no water typing survey or hydro update unless FP_WTRTY_1975_DT is greater than 1992.

Attribute
Attribute LabelDNR_OUTPUT_SCL_CD
Attribute Definition
DNR Output scale code. This attribute may be used as a visual, cartographic tool to display an appropriate ‘density’ of linework at a given map scale. Due to the compilation history of DNR HYDRO it has inconsistent stream density across the state; it is ‘mixed-scale’. For example, if creating a map at a scale of 1:100,000 the data that are appropriate to display at 1:24,000 map scale may appear too dense and therefore the map may not be legible. Some features included are too small to display at a scale smaller than 1:24,000. This attribute uses the scale denominator to indicate the largest scale at which the feature should be displayed. Select allvalues to display all data. Select 24000, 100000, and 750000 to display data appropriate for 1:24,000 map scale. Select 100000 and 750000 to display data appropriate for 1:100,000 map scale. Select 750000 to display data appropriate for 1:750,000 map scale.

Enumerated Domain Value Definition
Water typing survey. A Water Type Modification Form (WTMF) has been entered into the database since 1/1/1997. For a finer classification of surveys since March 1, 2005 (western Washington) and/or March 1, 2006 (eastern Washington) see FP_VER_CD. If a surveyed stream segment is associated with a model override, then the segment will show OVERRIDE rather than WTMF. If there is a FP_REF_ID on the segment, then the segment was surveyed.
Attribute Domain Values
Enumerated Domain
Enumerated Domain ValueMODEL
Enumerated Domain Value Definition
The water type was assigned by the Fish Habitat Water Typing Model; there has been no water typing survey recorded in the database since 1/1/1997.
Attribute Domain Values
Enumerated Domain
Enumerated Domain ValueOVERRIDE
Enumerated Domain Value Definition
The model assigned type was overridden by a qualifying water typing survey. This falls into two categories: (1) Either modeled N was overridden to become F because waters downstream of a known fish location are assumed to have fish use (Board Manual Section 13, Part 4), or (2) a modeled F was overridden to become N because a survey established the F/N break downstream. If a record has an FP_REF_ID, then the override is due to the survey. If there is no FP_REF_ID, then the override is up or downstream of the survey. For this reason there will be surveyed stream segments with OVERRIDE rather than WTMF.
Attribute Domain Values
Enumerated Domain
Enumerated Domain ValueLEGACY
Enumerated Domain Value Definition
Streams not modeled inherited their water type from the water typing system prior to the model - either from an older water typing survey or from the Water Type Map prior to the creation of the GIS database. For older water typing surveys: A survey may have been conducted, using protocols in place at the time, between 1992 and Fall 2000 if the following are true: 1. FP_WTRTY_SRC_DESC = "LEGACY", and 2. FP_WTRTY_1975_DT greater than 1/1/1992 and less than approximately 11/1/2000, and 3. FP_WTRTY_1975_CD not equal to 9.
