Title
SCS Soil Survey [Washington (State)--Kitsap County]
Description
This soils feature class is a cleaned and edited version of WA Department of Natural Resources and Soil Conservation Service soils coverage for Washington State received in December of 2000. Soil polygons were merged to eliminate township lines from original coverage after its convertion to a feature class. Slivers, overlaps, and other topological discrepancies were cleaned, and DNR soil map unit names and identifier symbol ('IDENTIFIER') were added to the attribute table. Polygons were subsequently dissolved by 'Identifier', and associated info lookup tables (SOILS_CLASS, SOILS_COMPLX, SOILS_COMB, SOILS_MAIN, SOILS_PFLG) then joined to the polygon attribute table. _____________________________________________________________________________ Information for the soils data layer was derived from the Private Forest Land Grading system (PFLG) and subsequent soil surveys. PFLG was a five year mapping program completed in 1980 for the purpose of forest land taxation. It was funded by the Washington State Department of Revenue in cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources Soil Conservation Service (USCS), USDA Forest Service and Washington State University. State and private lands which had the potential of supporting commercial forest stands were surveyed. Some Indian tribal and federal lands were surveyed. Because this was a cooperative soils survey project, agricultural and non-commercial forest lands were also included within some survey areas. After the DNR originally developed its GIS, digitized soils delineations and a few soil attributes were transferred to the system. Remaining PFLG soils attributes were added at a later time and are available through associated lookup tables. SCS soils data on agricultural lands also have subsequently been added to this data layer. Approximately 1100 townships wholly or partially contain digitized soils data (2101 townships would provide complete coverage of the state of Washington). - "Detailed Layer Description", Washington State Department of Natural Resources Geographic Information System, 1998. - _____________________________________________________________________________
