Cooperative Agreement
Overview
Grant Description
Project title: State of Michigan 3DHP Hydrography Project - Western Upper Peninsula and Southwest
Period of performance: 09 15 2025 - 08 31 2028
Abstract summary: This project will support the continued elevation-derived hydrography data development across the state.
This funding will support the completion of the remaining areas of the Upper Peninsula and the Southwest region of the Lower Peninsula.
By completing these areas of the state through this funding project, 3DHP datasets will be complete statewide for the State of Michigan and for inclusion in the National Geospatial Programs National Map.
Activities: The project activities will include leveraging the existing statewide Quality Level 2 Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) to develop digital elevation models to support the processes to develop the more accurate GIS hydrography data for the project area.
This data development process includes the collection of any available GIS-based culvert data from stakeholders to ensure hydro-enforcement of the new hydrography networks.
Lakes and ponds will be collected down to an approximately 0.25 acre threshold.
The data development activities will include stream delineation, flow thresholding, and data smoothing leading to a topologically connected network that includes elevation values on all of the features.
Quality control steps are included within each process of data development and as part of the hydrologic unit deliverable preparation.
The final deliverables for the project will be the hydrography river and stream flowlines, water bodies, and water area features for the Level 8 and Level 10 hydrologic units defined in this project area.
Intended beneficiaries: Data for these project areas not only benefit dozens of programs across multiple state agencies but will benefit other federal, state, regional, and local government stakeholders.
The Michigan Hydrography Program currently coordinates the priority areas based on mutual needs and collaboration across various stakeholders for both private and public sectors.
Examples of coordination efforts with other programs include, but are not limited to, wetlands mapping projects, flood resiliency projects, water resource management projects, and infrastructure planning projects.
