Product: These are Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data for Maine as part of the required deliverables for the ME_WesternMtns_B24_WU301127 project. Class 2 (ground) LiDAR points in conjunction with the hydro breaklines were used to create a 1 meter hydro-flattened Raster DEM. Geographic Extent: 8 counties in Maine, covering approximately 5066 total square miles. Dataset Description: The ME_WesternMtns_B24_WU301127 project called for the planning, acquisition, processing, and derivative products of lidar data to be collected at a nominal pulse spacing (NPS) of 0.71 meters. Project specifications are based on the U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program Base LiDAR Specification, 2024 Rev. A. The data were developed based on a horizontal projection/datum of NAD 1983 2011 UTM Zone 19N, Meter and vertical datum of NAVD88 Geoid 18, Meter. LiDAR data were delivered as processed Classified LAS 1.4 files formatted to 6115 individual 1500 m x 1500 m tiles, as tiled intensity imagery, and as tiled bare earth DEMs; all tiled to the same 1500 m x 1500 m schema. Continuous breaklines were produced in geopackage file format. Ground Conditions: LiDAR was collected in spring and fall 2024, while no snow was on the ground and rivers were at or below normal levels. In order to post process the LiDAR data to meet task order specifications and meet ASPRS vertical accuracy guidelines, NV5 Geospatial utilized a total of 57 ground control points that were used to calibrate the LiDAR to known ground locations established throughout the project area. An additional 153 independent accuracy checkpoints, 122 in Bare Earth and Urban landcovers (122 NVA points), 31 in Tall Weeds categories (31 VVA points), were used to assess the vertical accuracy of the data. These checkpoints were not used to calibrate or post process the data.
