      <abstract>LIDAR-derived binary (.las) files ASPRS ver 1.4 format containing classified points of all returns. We have 11 classifications Unclassified, Ground, Automated Low Veg [0.5-5 feet] , Automated Medium Veg [5-20 feet], Automated High Veg [&gt;20 feet], Automated Buildings, Low Noise, Water, Bridge Decks, High Noise and Ignore Ground (breakline proximity). Model key points are bit-flagged and created from ground (class = 2) points using a five foot horizontal and a 0.2 foot vertical variance. The files are delivered in 2000ft by 2000ft tiles. These files adhere to the USGS-NGP Lidar Base Specification, Version 2.1 Quality Level 2 (QL2) standards. The contractual aggregate nominal pulse spacing (ANPS) is less than or equal to 0.5m. The contractual aggregate nominal point density (ANPD) is 4.0 points or greater per square meter.</abstract>
      <purpose>U20125: LiDAR 2020-Data Processing of 5 Counties in Wabash &amp; Embarras Basin - The required Professional Services
include the data processing of existing high fidelity Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for Clark, Coles,
Cumberland, Douglas &amp; Edgar Counties in Illinois in 2020. As a result of the supplemental funding from the USGS 3DEP
program, the revised project area comprises of approximately 2,576.45 square miles (i.e., increase from 2,505.02). Data
processing services include LiDAR classification; hydro-flattening; QA/QC, and; development of derivative deliverable
products (including metadata).</purpose>

        <procdesc>Classifed lidar:
LIDAR data was collected using the Optech Galaxy sensor. The raw data was verified in MARS software for complete coverage of the project area, and boresighted to align the flightlines. Raw data files were parsed into manageable client-specific tiles. These tiles were then processed through automated filtering that separates the data into different classification groups: unclassified points, ground points, automated low veg [0.5-5 feet], automated medium veg [5-20 feet], automated high veg [&gt;20 feet], automated buildings, low noise, water, bridge decks, high noise and ignore ground (breakline proximity). The data was next taken into MARS to reclassify the erroneous points that may remain in the LIDAR point cloud after auto filter. Four points or greater per square meter (QL2) ASPRS ver 1.4 format.</procdesc>

Using MARS software hydro-flattened breaklines (rivers greater than 100 feet wide and waterbodies greater than two square acres and islands greater than one acre) were compiled. Additionally breaklines were placed underneath bridges and on waterfalls where necessary. MARS software using Intensity values and 3d elevations generates ESRI shape files which are then imported into an ESRI gdb for a project wide delivery. Monotonicity checks where validated (water flowing downstream).</procdesc>
