Meta Identifier	Kier Assoc/KRIS
Type of Data	GIS data assembled and organized to support Battle Creek Watershed Assessment
Originator	Kier Associates
Description	GIS data assembled and organized into a KRIS Battle Creek Version 2.0 by a team from Kier Associates, which has been working on watershed information projects throughout northwestern California. The KRIS Battle Creek V 2.0 project drew together electronic mapping data from all available sources in Arc Info and Arc View that are useful for this analysis, assembled metadata, and ran queries appropriate for risk analysis for upland erosion or cumulative watershed effects.
Area	Battle Creek Watershed
Metadata Date	11/7/2004
Metadata Contact	Patrick Higgins
Contact Person Primary	Dr. Paul Trichilo
Status	complete
Request Log	Data were assembled in 2001-2002 and used to support Terraqua Inc's upland assessment. GIS project finalized in late 2003 and integrated into KRIS Battle Creek V 2.0 in 2004.
Access Constraints	None except software and extensions to run projects in ESRI formats.
Lead Person	Dr. Paul Trichilo
Lead Organization	KIer Associates/KRIS Team
Data Set Name	upland_source_fin_12_10_03.dbf
Maint. and Update Freq.	Battle Creek GIS projects related to KRIS projects updated as budgets acquired by BCWC
Serial Name	GIS Data
Purpose	Data were assembled to support the Battle Creek Watershed Assessment but were also to be captured in KRIS Battle Creek V 2.0 for use by the public and agencies.
Data Quality Information	GIS analysis constrained by lack of 10 m DEM, timber harvest data and accurate stream hydrology with proper center lines. Roads data are variable in accuracy and likely under-represent disturbance (does not include skids, spurs, landings)
Use Constraints	None except to follow constraints stated by metadata and understand bounds of fair use.
Supplemental Information	Sierra Nevada Ecosystem publications, USFS documents on Battle and tributaries to the south (Mill, Deer, Antelope), and other literature cited in KRIS Battle Creek Background pages.
Counties	Shasta, Tehama
Keywords	sediment sources, cumulative watershed effects

Title	Use of Spatial Data for Battle Creek Watershed Conditions Assessment
Abstract	GIS data used to assess upland conditions in Battle Creek and to advise Terraqua Inc of potential sediment sources and other watershed conditions that could cause impacts to aquatic systems. The Battle Creek WA does not always reflect Kier Associates (2003) assessments or recommended references or thresholds for risk. Further discussions are available in KRIS Battle V 2.0 Background pages.
Other Citation Details	Kier Associates (2003) offers an analysis of patterns in upland data available for Battle Creek using "best science" literature from the Sierra Nevada, but also the Pacific Northwest. GIS data for the Battle Creek watershed may be incomplete or of variable accuracy, but in sum they provide reconnaissance tools for understanding cumulative watershed effects potential from land use.
