Description
A characterization of the data, including its intended use and limitations.
Abstract: 
Boundary describes the extent of the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie aquifer from south end of lake Pend Oreille, Idaho - through Rathdrum Prairie, the Spokane valley,  turning north to discharge at little Spokane river, and Spokane river  north and west of the city of Spokane.
Purpose: 
SOURCE DATA OVERVIEW
Spokane Valley aquifer (WA State only) digitized in 1988 by Spokane Co. Engineer Dept from USGS 1977 hydrologic study of the Spokane Aquifer.  This layer digitized from 1:24000 quad maps into the County's GDMS GIS. The USGS relied heavily on contour lines that described the valley floor to delineate the Spokane aquifer boundary.  The original boundary had the Spokane River as it's west edge, but was revised (by Bea Leckaff  Spokane County WQMP-GIS) in June, 1994, under the direction of Stan Miller to include the flood plain terraces on the west side of the river, down to the Little Spokane River confluence.  The extent of the aquifer was revised again in March, 1995 to reflect new information from CH2MHill aquifer studies being done for the City of Spokane (to support Wellhead Protection).  The revised aquifer extends the influence of impervious basalt outcroppings from the Spokane Falls area to the Trinity Triangle,  (Drumheller Springs). The corrections were made by BBL from information provided by Stan Miller.

Idaho Portion of the Aquifer data came from Idaho Panhandle Public Health GIS 
SCALE: Idaho data digitized originally from 1:24000 USGS maps
LAST UPDATED: March 1993- received Idaho data and matched to Spokane county aquifer data.

FGDC Plus Metadata Stylesheet
Stylesheet: FGDC Plus Stylesheet
File name: FGDC Plus.xsl
Version: 2.3
Description: This metadata is displayed using the FGDC Plus Stylesheet, which is an XSL template that can be used with ArcGIS software to display metadata. It displays metadata elements defined in the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM) - aka FGDC Standard, the ESRI Profile of CSDGM, the Biological Data Profile of CSDGM, and the Shoreline Data Profile of CSDGM. CSDGM is the US Federal Metadata standard. The Federal Geographic Data Committee originally adopted the CSDGM in 1994 and revised it in 1998. According to Executive Order 12096 all Federal agencies are ordered to use this standard to document geospatial data created as of January, 1995. The standard is often referred to as the FGDC Metadata Standard and has been implemented beyond the federal level with State and local governments adopting the metadata standard as well. The Biological Data Profile broadens the application of the CSDGM so that it is more easily applied to biological data that are not explicitly geographic (laboratory results, field notes, specimen collections, research reports) but can be associated with a geographic location. Includes taxonomical vocabulary. The Shoreline Data Profile addresses variability in the definition and mapping of shorelines by providing a standardized set of terms and data elements required to support metadata for shoreline and coastal data sets. The FGDC Plus Stylesheet includes the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set. It supports W3C DOM compatible browsers such as IE7, IE6, Netscape 7, and Mozilla Firefox. It is in the public domain and may be freely used, modified, and redistributed. It is provided "AS-IS" without warranty or technical support.
