2. Slide 2 National Hydrography Dataset Stewardship Conference April 24, 2007 Overview: State agency – Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC) – single entity that the USGS and others interface with Reliance on network coordination through the Utah Interagency Hydrologic Users Group (IHUG) Partnership strategy: Federal State Local Native American

3. Slide 3 National Hydrography Dataset Stewardship Conference April 24, 2007 Utah IHUG State-wide interface between Utah AGRC and federal, Native American, state, and local governmental agencies, entities, and organizations for the programmatic coordination of the stewardship program Coordinate with all NHD users in the State Also GIS user groups and geospatial coordinating organizations in Utah Identify and/or review new programmatic and/or technical procedures (computer programs) that will offer improvements to the program

4. Slide 4 National Hydrography Dataset Stewardship Conference April 24, 2007 AGRC as Steward of the database USGS Utah Water Science Center US Forest Service, BLM, Corps of Engineers, FWS, NPS, NRCS, and USGS State Agencies, DEQ, DWQ, UDOT, County Representatives, and Regional User Groups And others Utah IHUG Membership:

5. Slide 5 National Hydrography Dataset Stewardship Conference April 24, 2007 Utah has a MOU: In draft Incorporates both high-res NHD and the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) Review completed by Utah AGRC and the USGS Utah Water Science Office Pending review by the IHUG membership

6. Slide 6 National Hydrography Dataset Stewardship Conference April 24, 2007 Utah responsible for the “core” sub-basins; i.e. those sub-basins solely in Utah Coordinate revisions with adjacent states those sub- basins that are shared Identify hydrologic POCs for those states State responsibilities and adjacent state coordination:

8. Slide 8 National Hydrography Dataset Stewardship Conference April 24, 2007 Errors or Additions in NHD in Utah What to do, DO NOT CORRECT, REPORT –Document the error or additions Shapefile or Geodatabases Feature Metadata Submit Feature and metadata to AGRC AGRC will do the maintenance and submit the corrected data to USGS for reintegration into the National Geodatabases. AGRC will update their database after USGS
