Abstract:
Sub-watersheds for use in the Cross Acceptance process are based on the NJDEP HUC14 data set. A description of this data set can be found at: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/gis/stateshp2.html#HUC14. 
The first step in creating the cross acceptance layer was to code the HUC14 sub-watershed polygons with some additional attributes. The HUC14 layer was merged with the 1995/97 LU/LC layer so that the mean impervious surface percent of each HUC14 basin could be calculated. The LU/LC layer includes an estimate of the impervious surface percentage of each polygon mapped in that layer. Using this value, a mean impervious surface percentage could be calculated for each sub-watershed mapped in the HUC14 layer. Once the mean value was calculated, all HUC14 basins with a value of less than 10%, could be identified, and coded as such.  
HUC14 basins were also analyzed to identify those that drained to water supply intake points, those that contained existing C1 water features and those that were identified as providing natural drainage to selected water supply reservoirs. For the first, an existing NJDEP data layer showing water supply intakes was merged with the above HUC14 layer, and all sub-watersheds draining to a subset of mapped surface water intake points were identified and coded. The intakes subset included those intakes that supplied water from natural drainage only.  It is to be noted that all HUC14 sub-watersheds above the location of the selected intake points, i.e., all upstream watersheds, were identified as a water supply watershed.
To identify sub-watersheds containing Category One (C1) waters, a NJDEP layer with existing C1 waters was merged with the sub-watershed layer from the above analysis. This C1 layer is described at: http://www.nj.gov/dep/cleanwater/c1.html. Sub-watersheds containing a C1 water feature were identified and coded as such. For C1 coding, note that only the sub-watershed containing the C1 feature was coded for C1 status.
Those sub-watersheds containing natural drainage to selected reservoirs were also identified and coded. The natural drainage layer was created by NJDEP to supplement the C1 and water intake layers. Although a separate attribute, all watersheds coded as having natural drainage for the selected reservoirs also are, in fact, coded for the water supply intake or C1 attributes. The sub-watersheds with the natural reservoir drainage were identified in a process similar to that described above for the other watershed attributes.
Sub-watersheds that had either an impervious surface less than 10%, that drained to water supply intake points, that contained C1 waters, or had natural drainage to selected reservoirs, or any combination of these factors, are considered critical sub-watersheds. A particular basin may have more than one of the above characteristics, but only needed a positive in one of the four categories to be considered for further analysis. Sub-watersheds without any of these characteristics were not included in any further analysis. 
Once the sub-watershed layer was coded, and all critical sub-watersheds identified, the layer underwent an additional analysis step.   The critical sub-watersheds identified in the above steps were merged with the developed lands layer selected from the 1995/97 LU/LC dataset.  All those portions of the critical sub-watersheds that were undeveloped could then be identified, and selected for inclusion in the final layer.  Those watershed portions that were developed, or built up, were eliminated from further consideration.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
Attributes were verified against various sources, including USGS huc14 coverage and NJPDES data.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
The dephuc14 has been reassembled from the USGS HUC14 coverage. The HUC14 hydrologic unit boundaries, not including the state boundary, were delineated by the USGS from 1:24000 scale (7.5 minute) USGS topoquads. This data is not field checked and has no guarantees as to its accuracy. The minmum polygon size has not been defined, but the 14-digit hydrologic units have a defined minimum size of 3000 acres. Some basins are smaller, which gives a reasonable geographic arrangement to the 14 digit sub-watersheds.
Completeness_Report:
The project as originally designed has been completed for the entire state. Also, the New Jersey state boundary as origionally defined in the USGS source coverage does not match that used by the NJDEP. Therefore the coverage was edited by the NJ Geological Survey to remove the USGS state boundary and insert the NJDEP state boundary, thus resolving most potential clipping errors.

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
NJGS received sub-huc14 basins coverage from USGS-WRD in NAD27 UTM coordinates and began processing into Dephuc14 in NAD83 State Plane Feet coordinates. Projection resulted in a coverage that was shifted about 735 ft SSW in comparison to earlier coverages. The reason for, and origin of this shift is unknown. Therefore, the projected coverage was manually transformed using an affine transformation to best fit the correct line positions based on a comparison to earlier version of the dephuc14 coverage.

2. NJGS Processing Notes for Dephuc14

12/22/99 NJGS received sub-huc14 basins coverage from USGS-WRD in NAD27 UTM coordinates and began processing into Dephuc14 in NAD83 State Plane Feet coordinates. Projection resulted in a coverage that was shifted about 735 ft SSW in comparison to earlier coverages. The reason for, and origin of this shift is unknown. Therefore, the projected coverage was manually transformed using an affine transformation to best fit the correct line positions based on a comparison to earlier version of the dephuc14 coverage. The coverage was built as a polygon and line coverage.

12/28/99 The new coverage was edited to delete the USGS version of the NJ State boundary, then equivalent lines from the NJDEP State-boundary reference coverage (staco) were added in their place. All node errors and label errros were edited, then the coverage was dissolved from a sub-huc14 level to the huc14 level.

12/30/99 The dephuc14 coverage was cleaned, then polygon labels from an earlier version were joined to the PAT in order to preserve NJPDES attributes for unchanged polygons. Watershed Management Area, Water Region, and new HUC codes were edited to reflect the revisions. Repeated PAT items were dropped.

01/03/00 The dephuc14 AAT was edited to add USGS and NJGS field items HUCDIV and LINTYPE respectively. HUCDIV is an item used to represent the HUC4, HUC6, HUC8, HUC11, and HUC14 boundary lines, with the lower HUC values taking preceedence over higher values. LINTYPE denotes those lines taken from the NJ State boundary theme (LINTYPE 9).

01/26/00 Arc attibutes were manually updated to reflect HUC and LINTYPE values. The coverage was then rebuilt.

02/04/00 Arcs were added and deleted from the coverage based on NJDPES review to correct HUC14 basin delineation.

02/10/00 ARCS were added to coverage based on NJPDES review and USGS agreement to correct HUC14 basin delineation. All HUCDIV arcs items and HUC14 polygon items updated and checked. The set of 212 NAD83 quadrangle tics for the State were added to dephuc14 to replace the set of four tics originally included in the coverage. The dephuc14 coverage was cleaned and duplicated as dephuc14bup.

03/17/00 Created two new HUC14 polygons by adding two new lines based on NJPDES review of proposed changes with the USGS. Recleaned the coverage.

03/20/00 Updated coverage polygon labels with NJPDES labels. Added HUC4, HUC6, HUC8, WREGION, WR-NAME, WMA_NAME and WMNAME items and updated them to DWM specifications.

03/27/00 Added a new HUC11 line to split offshore HUC11 02040302910 in order to add 02040302920. Updated HUCDIV lintypes for altered area. Update HUC14 d_swid codes for 4 polygons. Dissolved dephuc14 into dephuc11, added and updated .PAT items for WMA, WMA_NAME, WREGION, and WR_NAME.

9/11/00 Calculated total drainage area of each subwatershed. This includes area that drains to the subwatershed plus that of the subwatershed. Expressed area in acres and square miles. Added areas to coverage.
