Approval does not necessarily indicate that the entire area inside this boundary has been (or ever will be) acquired by the Service. The AA boundary also includes Refuge land interests currently held by the Service (e.g., fee, easements, leases, etc.). Data used to locate this boundary was obtained from the Service Realty program. Purpose: The intended application of the data is to serve as a spatial reference for other data layers in GIS and mapping applications. It is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes.

It is inappropriate to use this data in legal situations, or other applications where spatial error cannot exceed the USGS 7.5' mapping standards. This data is specifically not intended to be used as a land survey or representation of land for conveyance or tax purposes. Approval to acquire land inside the AA boundary does not necessarily indicate that the entire area inside this boundary has been (or ever will be) acquired by the Service. Native_Data_Set_Environment: Data was edited with ESRI's ArcInfo version 7.2.1 Patch 2 software on a PC running WINDOWS NT version 4.0 (Build 1381: Service Pack 6) operating system. The data was later edited in ESRI's ArcGIS ArcInfo Workstation version 8.3 software on a PC running Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600, Service Pack 1.0. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Arc and polygon item values are rechecked by data entry staff for omissions and against the original data for accuracy. Logical_Consistency_Report: The digital boundary was compared to source material for completeness. Software capabilities were used to ensure arcs have no dangling nodes and intersection errors and to check polygons for label errors. Completeness_Report: Arcs that represent the entire approved acquisition boundary were included. Line work was checked for omissions. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Data are stored in ArcInfo double precision.

Process_Step: Process_Description: A copy of the digital Lacreek ownership (fee and less-than-fee) boundary was edited to create this coverage. The user-defined arc and polygon items required by the legislative (approved acquisition) boundary project were added. The polygon labels were edited. Arc and polygon items were populated. The coverage was rebuilt and run through quality control steps.

See SOP under "Labeling Files and Geographic Features - Legislative Boundary" (in process 1) for information on arc and polygon items and item values. Polygon items in addition to those referenced in the SOP include: ARC_ACRES (replaces SOP ACREAGE item), REC_ACRES and METHOD (these two items are no longer considered applicable, and therefore are not populated; however, the items are being retained to maintain consistency with coverages created previously that contain these items). There is also an arc- item named METHOD; codes in this item indicate the method of creation of arcs. Arcs coded as "Dig-DRG" were screen-digitized from the DRG; those coded as "c" were created to close gaps made by editing preexisting line work. Un-coded arcs came from HAPET data. If more information is needed regarding the creation of HAPET arcs, the contact number is: (701) 250-4413.
