A set of globally available attributes is available for the source Master Sample files that were used by the Columbia Habitat Monitoring Program (CHaMP). Attributes are sourced from publically available geospatial datasets. In some cases, datasets have been generated or compiled by South Fork Research.
GAA files are managed by South Fork Research and are available upon request at this time. We do not anticipate additional file updates until the 1:24k NHD Plus (High Res) dataset is available for Region 17.
