Layer Title:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> Skagit Watershed Basins<\/SPAN><\/P>

Abstract:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> The Skagit watershed boundaries were created to support the implementation of the Skagit River Basin Instream Resources Protection Program Rule in Skagit County WA. (WAC 173-503) went into effect on April 14, 2001.<\/SPAN><\/P>

The rule establishes how Ecology will manage water use in the basin. This includes:<\/SPAN><\/P>

\u2022Establishing instream flows to protect stream flows in the Skagit and its tributaries for fish and other natural resources.<\/SPAN><\/P>

\u2022Administering reservations of water for specific future out-of-stream uses.<\/SPAN><\/P>

\u2022Granting interruptible water rights which cannot be used when flows in certain streams and the river are too low.<\/SPAN><\/P>

\u2022Evaluating mitigation plans<\/SPAN><\/P>

The Skagit rule does not apply to the Samish River Basin. The Samish River Basin is also included in this data set.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Update Cycle:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> Changes rarely ever occur<\/SPAN><\/P>

Accuracy:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> +-20 (average elevation) and +-60 feet horizontal.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Layer Compatibility:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN> Based on USGS digital elevation model.<\/SPAN><\/P>

Accuracy Warning:<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Skagit County maps and data are created from public records and existing data sources. Records and data have been adjusted to achieve a \"best fit\" registration to create Skagit County maps. While great care is taken in this process, records and data from different sources rarely agree as to the precise location of geographic features. The relative positioning of map and data features to one another results from combining different sources without ground truthing. Maps and data are approximate and are not designed to be accurate to surveying or engineering standards. Spatial accuracy errors do exist as a result.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Maps and data are for informational purposes only. They do not purport to represent a property boundary survey of any parcels shown and shall not be used for conveyances or the establishment of property.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

Maps and data shall be used as a resource only, and any such use of these products with respect to accuracy and precision shall be the sole responsibility of the user.<\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>
