Quaternary Geology and Stratigraphy of Kitsap County

Data format: SDE Feature Class

File or table name: GIS.ENVIRO_STABILITY_POLY

Coordinate system: State Plane Coordinate System 1983

Theme keywords: soil stability

Abstract: "Quaternary Geology and Stratigraphy of Kitsap County", - Jerald Deeter 1979 thesis (WWU). The original slope stability coverage was obtained by digitizing the "Slope Stability Map of Kitsap County" from the Deeter 1979 thesis. This work was performed by Kitsap County GIS. Accuracy and precision standards used for digitizing are unknown. Spatial accuracy is fairly good at small scales, however, accuracy diminishes as the scale increases. Horizontal displacement is quite noticeable along shorelines when comparison of physical features such as estuaries and peninsulas are observed along side imagery. Displacement ranges between 60 to 200 feet at different locations. Limitations of this data set are multiplied due to the spatial accuracy and constrains of the originating data and the digitizing process. This data set is useful for general area characteristics at medium to small scales (on large geographical areas), but not for characteristic determinations at large scales (on small and site specific geographical areas). **This data cannot and may not be used for or relied upon for site-specific evaluations, nor as a substitute for a field survey. - NOTE: The original Deeter work contained an "Io" stability value, which was a subcategory of Intermediate slopes. This subcategory was created and used by Deeter for those Intermediate slopes that were in excess of 30 percent grade which, at the time, had applicable on-site sewage disposal system restrictions per WAC 248-96 (Deeter). As these regulations no longer apply, the "Io" subcategory was removed, leaving all Intermediate slopes under the Intermediate (I) stability value. -

FGDC and ESRI Metadata:

Metadata elements shown with blue text are defined in the Federal Geographic Data Committee's (FGDC) Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata (CSDGM). Elements shown with green text are defined in the ESRI Profile of the CSDGM. Elements shown with a green asterisk (*) will be automatically updated by ArcCatalog. ArcCatalog adds hints indicating which FGDC elements are mandatory; these are shown with gray text.

Purpose:
Analysis of large areas to determine suitability for specific uses, or to plan the management needs for those uses or other uses, and for general area characteristics at medium to small scales (on large geographical areas), but not for characteristic determinations at large scales (on small and site specific geographical areas).

Enumerated domain:
Enumerated domain value: S
Enumerated domain value definition:

Enumerated domain:
Enumerated domain value: I
Enumerated domain value definition:
Intermediate - Slopes are generally between 15 and 30 percent and in some areas in excess of 30 percent up to 70 percent slopes. This category includes slopes without known failures in sand, gravel, till, and thin soil over bedrock. In the vecinity of Green and Gold Mountains, talus from rock falls is found at the base of slopes greater than 30 percent.

Enumerated domain:
Enumerated domain value: U
Enumerated domain value definition:
