2010 Coastal Georgia Elevation Project Lidar Data

Between January and March 2010, lidar data was collected in southeast/coastal Georgia under a multi-agency partnership between the Coastal Georgia
Regional Development Center, USGS, FEMA, NOAA and local county governments. Data acquisition is for the full extent of coastal Georgia,
approximately 50 miles inland, excluding counties with existing high-resolution lidar derived elevation data. The data capture area consists
of an area of approximately 5703 square miles. This project is within the Atlantic Coastal Priority Area as defined by the National Geospatial
Program (NGP) and supports homeland security requirements of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). This project also supports
the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) and will advance USGS efforts related to The National Map and the National Elevation Dataset.

The data were delivered in LAS format version 1.2 in 5000 x 5000 foot tiles. The data are classified according to ASPRS LAS 1.2 classification
scheme:

Class 1 - Unclassified
Class 2 - Bare Earth
Class 7 - Low Point (Noise)
Class 9 - Water
Class 10 - Land below sea level
Class 12 - Overlap
