NC CGIA 20031006 vector digital data Raleigh, North Carolina NC DENR Division of Water Quality NCCGIA distributes this dataset In the late 1990s, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality developed a GIS data set representing point locations of intensive animal operations in North Carolina. In 2003, CGIA used digital ortho photography from 1998 to verify the DWQ points for swine operations and to identify additional swine lagoons and barns visible in the photos. The intention is to display patterns of swine operations for planning and impact analysis without including attributes of the operations. Matching points to DWQ permits, for example, would take more research and processing. These data were created to assist governmental agencies and others in making resource management decisions through use of a Geographic Information System (GIS). system filename : North Carolina swine lagoon locations file size = 0.5 MB The October 2003 file is the first version of this dataset.

This set is based in part on data from the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, Water Quality Section 512 N. Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC 27604-1148. CGIA verified and created point locations based on Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quads, 1998 images. Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 2; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.1.0.722 NC Division of Water Quality 1999 vector digital data The NC DENR Water Quality Section provided the NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (CGIA) with a 1999 shape file of points representing registered animal operations for the State of North Carolina. The data were intended for planning purposes and were not verified or documented for GIS. In 2003, CGIA overlayed the point locations with orthophotos from 1998 to verify apparent lagoons in the photos. Points not within a few hundred feet of a lagoon were excluded. Additional points were added interactively to coincide with the center of apparent lagoons associated with apparent swine facilities. Accuracy rests in part on the judgments by the technician and the project manager in the process of identifying lagoons and adjacent swine barns. Some of the apparent lagoons and barns may have been operations involving other animals. Except for the county location, all other attributes from the original file were dropped becasuse of the lack of confidence in the actual nature and status of intensive animal operations associated with apparent lagoon locations. Using ESRI's ARC/INFO Arcview software, a point shapefile was created. These point locations represent the approximate center of each apparent lagoon associated with swine operations as observed on digital orhthophoto quarter quads throughout North Carolina. The point locations are in the approximate center of apparent lagoons visibile on orthophotos of 1-meter resolution. This exceeds National Mapping Standards. NC Center for Geographic Information and Analysis 20031006 vector digital data Raleigh, North Carolina NC DENR - Div. of Water Quality, Water Quality Section 24000 digital raster and vector data 1998 1998 ground condition CGIA CGIA verified lagoon locations based on orthophotos of 1-meter resolution. In March 2003, for selected counties, CGIA used 1998 color orthophotography (DOQQ, Color Infrared) to verify the location of the points representing animal operations. Swine operations typically consist of long rectangular metallic barns and rectangular waste lagoons, both of which are visible in the orthophotos (1-meter resolution). CGIA added a point for each swine lagoon location that could be verified from the orthophotography. As of August 6, 2003, the verified points had not been reviewed by the Division of Water Quality and attributes had not been updated. This method does not account for new operations after 1998-99 and cannot assure completeness or accuracy for operations existing before 1999. More information about animal operation permits is available from the Division of Water Quality, http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu/ndpuapps.html CGIA updates the digital file as needed. 20031006 Jeff Brown NC CGIA Project Manager mailing address
