INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT

between

PACIFIC NW HYDROGRAPHY FRAMEWORK PARTNERSHIP, NATURAL RESOURCES
CONSERVATION SERVICE, AND THE U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

This **INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT** is hereby entered into by and between the
Pacific Northwest (PNW) Hydrography Framework, the Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The
PNW Hydrography Framework (PNWHF) Partnership consists of the U.S.
Forest Service (USFS) Region 6, Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
Oregon/Washington, Oregon State and Washington State. The Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) participates with the PNWHF, has
delineated a subset of the boundaries within the PNW, and also serves as
a representative for the National Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD).
These Partners and NRCS have delineated Hydrologic Unit (HU) Boundaries
for the Pacific Northwest (OR/WA) to the 6^th^ level for the two-state
area. The USGS and NRCS manage the national WBD and are responsible for
advancing regional datasets towards WBD certification.

**PURPOSE:**

The purpose of this Agreement is to establish a working relationship
between the participating organizations whereby the Hydrologic Unit (HU)
Boundaries dataset for Oregon/Washington is improved, accepted by the
PNWHF and NRCS, submitted for WBD certification, and certified for
acceptance into the WBD.

A.  **BACKGROUND:**

The initial Hydrologic Unit Boundary delineation for Oregon and
Washington was substantially completed in FY03 and Partner organizations
and NRCS have continued to improve the dataset via transactions
administered by the BLM. BLM serves as the PNWHF Clearinghouse
Administrator for the PNWHF Clearinghouse which contains the Framework
Hydrography and HU Boundary datasets. The PNWHF organizations and NRCS
recognize that some areas within the regional HU dataset are in need of
improvement and have an interest in working with the USGS to improve the
dataset. The PNW Partner organizations and the Oregon/Washington NRCS
retain primary stewardship responsibility under this Agreement.

The USGS and NRCS at the national level have shared responsibility for
the National WBD. They have a goal of fully populating the National WBD.
They monitor the progress of regional delineation efforts, provide data
quality reviews, and in some instances provide funding and/or staffing
to advance datasets to the certification benchmark. The USGS and
national NRCS have an interest in working with the PNWHF Partners and
the NRCS in the PNW to achieve this goal. The USGS will function as a
Partner organization under this Agreement; however, as stated above,
primary stewardship responsibility will reside at the field level within
each PNWHF organization and the NRCS in Oregon and Washington. The USGS
may use a contractor to perform work under this Agreement. The BLM in
its role as the PNWHF Clearinghouse Administrator will coordinate review
activities working locally with the Partners and NRCS. Details of this
working relationship are outlined below.

**C.** **EXISTING PNW HYDROGRAPHY FRAMEWORK STANDARDS:**

The PNW Hydrographic Unit Boundary dataset is currently provided to the
Framework Partners and the Public in two ArcInfo coverage formats on the
PNWHF website. **Maintenance**-formatted data is provided for Partner
edits. Adherence to regional guidelines helps to ensure that changes
meet the national protocols, that major changes at any level are
justified and reviewed, and that all changes will result in a consistent
and homogeneous delineation. **Distribution**-formatted data is provided
to users for query, mapping, and analysis purposes. This dataset is
refreshed whenever a Framework Partner edits the maintenance dataset.
Under this Agreement, the source data for each scheduled work area is
initially provided to the USGS in ESRI coverage format as a subset of
the Maintenance-formatted dataset. It is recognized by all parties that
this data format will change as the PNWHF Partnership migrates the HU
Boundaries dataset to the geodatabase format. Changes to the delivery
format for this Agreement will be coordinated with this change to the
PNW data format.

**D.** **RESPONSIBILITIES:**

[PNW Hydrography Framework Partners and NRCS shall:]{.underline}

-   Review and evaluate the delineations and attribution provided by the
    USGS.

-   Provide results of review back to USGS identifying required
    adjustments within 60 days. Specifics on the content and formatting
    of this review package will be worked out in the first work area
    (pilot).

-   Participate in review sessions as needed with the USGS.

[PNW Hydrography Clearinghouse Administrator (BLM serving in this role)
shall]{.underline}:

-   Provide USGS with PNW HU boundary data in coverage format for each
    work area according to the established schedule (Appendix A). The
    provided dataset will include a buffer of polygons surrounding the
    HUs contained in the work area. This will ensure that external
    boundaries are not edited and that the updated dataset can be easily
    inserted back into the master PNW HU Boundary dataset. The
    deliverable will also include nested 7^th^ level HUs where these
    have been delineated.

-   Coordinate the review of changes recommended by the USGS with PNW
    Hydrography Partners and NRCS.

-   Incorporate all accepted revisions back into the PNW Hydrologic Unit
    boundaries dataset and make the updated dataset available on the
    PNWHF website.

-   Create a protected "pre-certification" HU Boundaries dataset
    containing work areas where USGS edits have been completed and
    approved by the PNWHF Partnership. Once approved no additional edits
    will be allowed to this "pre-certification" dataset. This ensures
    that no additional changes are made prior to national review and
    certification. As this "pre-certification" dataset is fully
    populated for each state it will be crosswalked to the WBD format
    and provided for national certification.

-   Control PNW edit activities as follows: (1) PNWHF Partners may
    continue editing in work areas prior to the scheduled delivery to
    the USGS for editing, (2) Work areas that are in process with the
    USGS will be locked and unavailable for edits by PNW Framework
    Partners and NRCS, and (3) The PNWHF Partnership may continue with
    operational edits on the PNW HU boundary dataset once USGS edits are
    completed and approved in order to incorporate 7^th^ level HUs but
    changes will not be allowed on 5^th^ and 6^th^ level boundaries.
    Note: these PNWHF changes will not be reflected in the
    "pre-certification" HU boundary dataset, only in the PNWHF dataset.

-   Convert the "pre-certification" HU boundary state-wide datasets to
    the format provided in the Federal Standards for Delineations of
    Hydrologic Unit Boundaries and submit for national certification
    once each state is completed.

[USGS shall:]{.underline}

-   Comply with the existing specific guidelines for maintaining the PNW
    HU boundaries as described in Appendix B.

-   Coordinate the PNW HU Boundary updates across state boundaries with
    Idaho, California and Nevada.

-   Refine the PNWHF Hydrologic Unit Boundaries and required attribution
    using consistent, reproducible methods that meet Federal Standards
    for Delineations of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries. It is agreed that
    the Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) will be the primary source used for
    delineating boundaries.

-   Limit change in the dataset to only those modifications that are
    needed to meet the national guidelines. Replacement of boundary
    lines or HU names where they already meet the standard should be
    avoided. This recognizes that it is not cost effective to create a
    new set of boundaries where the national guidelines and standards
    are already met and that PNW Framework Partners have an investment
    in the current delineation of boundaries, HU numbers, and names.

-   Populate all required PNWHF Clearinghouse HU Boundary attributes as
    described in Appendix B.

-   Use PNWHF HHydrography dataset to identify and delineate hydrologic
    unit pour points.

-   Ensure that 7^th^ level HUs that may be present in each unit of work
    remains nested within the 6^th^ level HUs containing them.

-   Provide updated HU Boundary dataset to the PNWHF Partners and NRCS
    and be available to participate in reviews.

-   Incorporate changes that are identified and agreed-upon in the
    review process.

-   Deliver HU boundaries back to the PNWHF following schedule provided
    in Appendix A.

**E. PROJECT WORKFLOW:**

1.  The first work area that is worked on by the USGS will be considered
    a [pilot]{.underline} and will be used to refine the process and
    project timelines.

2.  PNWHF Clearinghouse Administrator provides HU boundaries for work
    areas following agreed-upon schedule. Data is posted to anonymous
    ftp site for delivery to USGS.

3.  USGS reviews existing boundaries and makes modifications based on
    Federal Standards for Delineations of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries.
    Modifications requiring intensive PNWHF Partner and NRCS review are
    flagged via attribution.

4.  USGS provides updated dataset back to PNWHF Clearinghouse
    Administrator following agreed-upon schedule.

5.  BLM serves in Clearinghouse Administrator role and distributes
    review datasets to appropriate Partners and NRCS. BLM also tracks
    review activities.

6.  PNWHF Partner organizations and NRCS review deliverables **(60 day
    review period for each work area)** following agreed-upon schedule
    (Appendix A) and make a determination as to whether updates are
    acceptable. Edits that are questioned or rejected are documented
    (process to be determined as part of the pilot) and this information
    is provided back to the USGS.

7.  USGS makes corrections based on review findings. This may be an
    iterative process including teleconferences, web-based meetings,
    etc.

8.  If needed, the USGS returns the updated dataset to the PNWHF for
    additional review and/or final determination of acceptance.

9.  The PNWHF Clearinghouse Administrator will incorporate each work
    area back into the PNW master coverage as it is completed and
    accepted. As each state is completed, the Administrator will
    crosswalk and convert the coverage to the national format described
    in Federal Standards for Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries
    and this resulting dataset will be provided for national
    certification.

**F. DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS TO BE DELIVERED TO USGS:**

1.  HU Boundary dataset for each work area following schedule provided
    in Appendix A. Work areas provided to the contractor, contain a ring
    of "buffer polygons" which surround the project work area, the
    external boundary of which will not be modified by the USGS (see
    additional notes under "Editing Process Instructions" section). Data
    delivered on anonymous ftp in ArcInfo coverage format. Datasets will
    be provided in Geographic Coordinates/NAD83 double precision.
    Metadata will be delivered as embedded (xml) with the dataset and
    also as an html file.

2.  PNWHF Hydrography datasets for Oregon and Washington. USGS will
    download these datasets off of the PNWHF website:
    http://hydro.reo.gov. The Washington coast linework (including
    islands) from the PNWHF Hydrography dataset will be incorporated
    into the USGS update as the Washington State shoreline.

3.  Washington State Watershed Administrative Unit (WAU) boundaries,
    Washington State Land Administrative boundaries, and certain
    improved Washington State 4^th^ Field HU boundaries.

4.  Land Administrative boundaries datasets for the PNW.

**G. DESCRIPTION OF PRODUCTS TO BE PROVIDED BACK TO THE PNW HYDROGRAPHY
FRAMEWORK PARTNERSHIP:**

1.  Documentation describing the national WBD certification process
    including review criteria and measures.

2.  Updated datasets by work area for PNWHF review. USGS may need to
    project to UTM for editing purposes. Review datasets may be provided
    back to the PNWHF Partnership in this projection. Datasets that
    originally contained 7^th^ level HUs should retain these boundaries
    with full nesting of the 7^th^ level boundaries within the 6^th^
    level boundaries.

3.  The refined and accepted hydrologic unit boundaries by work area in
    Geographic Coordinates/NAD83 double precision.

**H. IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD BY ALL PARTIES THAT:**

[Modification]{.underline}. Modifications within the scope of the
instrument shall be made by written mutual consent of the parties.

[Termination]{.underline}. Any party, in writing, may terminate the
instrument in whole, or in part, at any time before the date of
expiration. The intention of this Agreement is to facilitate the
completion of the Watershed Boundary Dataset for Oregon and Washington,
which will meet FGDC certification standards. It is recognized that, due
to the multi-year duration of the agreement, sufficient funding cannot
be guaranteed to complete the work necessary to meet this goal. In case
of a funding shortfall, USGS shall make allowances to complete whatever
work subunits are currently being processed, and insure that the PNW
Partnership receives all work completed up to the termination date.

[Changes to Schedule]{.underline}. Changes to the project schedule will
be negotiated and agreed-upon by all parties signing this Agreement.
These changes will be agreed-upon verbally and will not require an
amendment to this Agreement.

**APPENDIX B Edit Guidelines**

## General Hydrologic Unit Editing Guidelines {#general-hydrologic-unit-editing-guidelines .toc_2}

The following procedures must be followed in order to have edits
approved by the PNWHF and Oregon/Washington NRCS:

The master copy of the Hydrologic Unit boundary maintenance coverage
will be retained on the Framework website
(<http://hydro.reo.gov/hu.html>). Subset datasets based on the work
areas identified in Appendix A plus surrounding buffer polygons will be
provided to the USGS following the agreed-upon schedule. General
guidelines to follow when editing this supplied HU datasets include the
following:

1.  Delineation of boundaries should meet the Federal Standards for
    Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries
    (http://www.ncgc.nrcs.usda.gov/products/datasets/watershed/) and
    utilize Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) source for this work.
    Additional regional guidelines have been written for PNWHF Partner
    editing of the dataset. These guidelines have been adapted for use
    under this Agreement and are presented below.

2.  Be aware of the kinds of edits that would trigger intensive
    Framework Partner and NRCS Data Steward review (see below).

3.  All attributes associated with the Hydrologic Unit's should be
    reviewed and edited according to the [PNWHF Clearinghouse Hydrologic
    Unit Boundary Data Dictionary]{.underline} standard.

## Agency Data Steward Review Criteria {#agency-data-steward-review-criteria .toc_2}

All changes will be identified via attribution within the coverage (see
below). The following edits should be additionally flagged to identify
the need for intensive Framework Partner and regional NRCS review:

1.  Changes made to more accurately delineate boundaries to match
    ridgelines or stream junctions resulting in acreage changes of
    greater than 5%. As an example, for a 5th Level HU of 80,000 acres,
    acreage adjustments of greater than 4,000 acres will need to be
    flagged for review.

2.  Any splits of HU's at any Level.

3.  Any joining of existing HU's at any Level.

4.  Any HU number changes. This is required since Partner organizations
    and others may have significant investments in HU numbers (i.e.
    links to databases).

The following edits do not need to be specifically flagged for intensive
Framework Partner and NRCS review:

1.  Changes made to more accurately delineate boundaries to match
    ridgelines or stream junctions resulting in acreage changes of less
    than 5%.

2.  HU name changes that meet national protocols. However, the USGS will
    provide a summary listing of name changes (old name, new name) for
    the work area with their delivery.

Rationale for exceptions to the regional or national protocols, and/or
other controversial changes should be documented and provided in a HU
based narrative accompanying the review deliverable.

##  {#section .toc_2}

## The Hydrologic Unit Layer Editing Process Instructions {#the-hydrologic-unit-layer-editing-process-instructions .toc_2}

The following specific guidelines should be followed:

a.  Delineation of boundaries should meet the Federal Standards for
    Delineation of Hydrologic Unit Boundaries
    (http://www.ncgc.nrcs.usda.gov/products/datasets/watershed/). All
    changes should reflect a consistent size in relationship to
    surrounding HU's. A homogeneous structure of HU's is the overall
    goal.

b.  Be aware of the kinds of edits that would trigger intensive
    Hydrography Framework Partner and NRCS review (see above).

c.  All attributes associated with the HU's should be reviewed and
    edited according to the [PNWHF Clearinghouse Hydrologic Unit
    Boundary Data Dictionary]{.underline} standard. Pay special
    attention to the following:

> Polygon attributes:

1.  COMMENTS- All edits meeting the need for intensive steward review
    described above must be specifically flagged in the provided
    comments field. The entry "Requires Steward Review" should be added
    to identify the need for more intensive review.

2.  ACRES_NEW- An additional Acres field (Acres_New) has been added to
    the coverage prior to initial delivery to the USGS. The USGS should
    calculate new acres values based on the update and populate this new
    field. Values in the original acres field should not be edited.
    Before and after acreage values will be completed to evaluate change
    in the edited coverage.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
i.  Line Attributes:

    1.  LINEDATE- Records the date of edit.

    2.  LINESOURCE- Records the type of source used to delineate the
        boundary. See Data Dictionary for domain of acceptable values.

    3.  LINEORG- The LINEORG attribute should be populated with
        "USGS-WBD" for all edits completed under this Agreement.

    4.  EDIT_TYPE- An additional metadata attribute, "EditType", has
        been added to the arc attribute table prior to the initial
        delivery to USGS. The USGS will populate this attribute with the
        appropriate code denoting the type of edit performed. Initially,
        the domain for this attribute includes 1) Ridge top, 2)
        Confluence, and 3) Interpretation. Additional values may be
        added to this domain as part of the Pilot.

> d\. Projection: PNWHF datasets are stored in Geographic
> Coordinates/NAD83 and will be provided to the USGS is this format. The
> USGS may project the dataset for the edit but must maintain double
> precision and provide the dataset (after PNW acceptance) back to the
> PNWHF in Geographic Coordinates/NAD83 double precision.
>
> e\. Project areas provided to the contractor contain a ring of "buffer
> polygons" which surround the project work area. The USGS should not
> edit the external boundaries of this provided dataset. This will
> ensure that the edited HUs contained in the dataset can be easily
> inserted back into the master PNW Hydrographic Unit dataset following
> the update.
>
> f\. The tolerances used to edit the coverage should be no larger than:

**[Addendum]{.underline}: Modifications and Clarifications to
Agreement**

## This Addendum describes minor modifications to the Agreement that have been verbally agreed-upon via teleconference. No official modifications to the Agreement are made for these minor changes. The signing parties agree that documentation of these changes in this Addendum is sufficient.  {#this-addendum-describes-minor-modifications-to-the-agreement-that-have-been-verbally-agreed-upon-via-teleconference.-no-official-modifications-to-the-agreement-are-made-for-these-minor-changes.-the-signing-parties-agree-that-documentation-of-these-changes-in-this-addendum-is-sufficient. .toc_2}

[February 7, 2006]{.underline}

-   Format for EDIT_TYPE attribute changed to 10,10,C. This will allow
    for a comma-delimited concatenation of codes where multiple values
    are appropriate.

-   Two additional names fields are added to the polygon attribute
    table. The USGS will populate these fields to meet the national
    protocols. The WATERSHED_NAME and SUBWAT_NAME attributes will not be
    modified.

    -   HU_10_NAME

    -   HU_12_NAME

[February 16, 2006]{.underline}

-   Τhe DRG should be used as the source for determining placement of HU
    boundaries where major errors or missing data are encountered in the
    PNWHF hydrography dataset.

-   USGS will provide feedback to the PNWHF on major data problems
    encountered in the PNWHF hydrography dataset.

-   A new code has been added to the EDIT_TYPE attribute. The new code
    is \"4\" and represents a "New Line". It is described as follows:
    "Code to be applied to new HU boundary lines that are added as part
    of the USGS edit that did not exist in any form in the PNWHF HU
    dataset. Examples include new lines inserted to subdivide an
    existing HU. The code should not be applied to modifications to
    existing boundaries associated with the other codes within this
    domain".

-   Where connector arcs are missing between a tributary entering a
    two-dimensional waterbody such as a lake or reservoir
    [and]{.underline} the intersection between the connector and the
    artificial centerline of the waterbody would form the outflow of an
    HU, the USGS should assume a logical position along the centerline
    for placement of the outflow.

[March 22,2006]{.underline}

-   New codes were added to the Edit_Type. The new code is \"5\" and
    represents where the NHD may be inaccurate or NHD needs to be looked
    at and modified.

-   USGS will snap WBD at single line stream confluences to the NHD
    centerline.

[April 7, 2006]{.underline}

-   2 additional fields were added

HUC_10

HUC_12

> The Watershed and Subwat fields will not be modified. The USGS will
> modify the HUC_10 AND HUC_12 fields to meet the national protocols.

-   Snapping of WBD at a Single line stream/Double line stream
    confluences: USGS will snap the WBD outlet of the single line stream
    to the NHD shoreline. If a break is needed across the double line
    stream at this point the USGS will cut perpendicular from the single
    line stream outlet across the double line stream, ignoring the
    center line NHD.

-   Snapping of WBD at a Double line stream/Double line stream
    confluence: For Double line stream/Double line stream confluences
    the USGS will use the DRG and the NHD shoreline as the pour point
    reference while ignoring the NHD centerline. The USGS will break the
    HUC by cutting perpendicular across the stream on the stream bank.

-   It was also decided that if we had a break across a double line
    stream and there was no other break associated with this break (it
    was the only pour point at this location) that USGS would attempt to
    snap to the center line confluence within the double line stream.

-   Lakes: The WBD pour point for units flowing into natural lakes will
    be on the bank of the lake, using the NHD shoreline as a guide.

-   Reservoirs: If there is legacy data available the USGS will
    essentially ignore the reservoir and follow the legacy channel
    making a pour point based on the previously describe single and
    double line stream confluences. If no legacy data is available the
    USGS will break on the bank using the NHD shoreline as a guide.
