Data, Reports, and Deliverables for the SLAMM Analysis of Southeast Louisiana 2013

DELIVERABLE 1:  Addition of improved elevation and flood-protection datasets to facilitate dry-land conversion dynamics

(Levee and Elevation raster files have elevations in meters, Slope file is in degrees. All layers projection is: NAD_83 LA State Plane South FIPS: 1702)

New DEM

Original  digital elevation model (DEM) with 2010 USACE LA and MS, 2010 USGS Atchafalaya, and 2011 ARRA Region 1 and Region 2 LiDAR data obtained from the NOAA Digital Coast database.

New Levee Data

New Levee data layer represents the locations and heights of the levees in the study area based on the following data sources

• The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District “Levees GIS - Topographic Centerlines” and “Levees GIS - Topographic Centerline Points” shapefiles. 
• Levee centerline and elevation points obtained from Maurice Wolcott, Instructor & Extension Specialist in the Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department at Louisiana State University, for the following Parishes:
• LaFourche
• Plaquemines
• St. Charles
• St. James
• St. Tammany
• Terrebonne
• USGS – Lafourche Parish Levee Mapping Project data obtained from John Barras
