All estuarine waters identified in the 2018 Virginia 305(b)/303(d) Water Quality Assessment. Line work and attributes should not be altered except by the developer (DEQ). This dataset constitutes the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved digital version of the assessment hydrology for Virginia. Attributes assigned to each water segment are based on attributes associated with the ID305B (assessment unit ID) entered in the statewide water quality assessment database. QA/QC checks are performed on the database prior to linking attributes to the GIS data, however errors may still occur. Please direct any questions about attribute accuracy to the Data Distributor. The geospatial product is maintained and updated by VA DEQ each assessment cycle (biennially) using the most current NHD product where revisions were made to Virginia waters, the most recent aerial photography provided by the Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN), and by freehand digitizing where necessary. Metadata is provided in the data Fact Sheet which contains contact information, process steps, attribute descriptions, and distribution information.

Sites within Virginia where DEQ or other data providers have collected water column, sediment, fish tissue or benthic macroinvertebrate samples within the given assessment data window (2018). Attributes assigned to each station are summarized based on samples collected per station ID. QA/QC checks are performed on the database to verify attribute and spatial accuracy, however errors may still occur. Please direct any questions about attribute accuracy to the Data Distributor. The geospatial product is maintained and updated by VA DEQ each assessment cycle (biennially) using the most current data provided. Stations not monitored within the given data window may be included for clarification of assessment unit ID status but have no data within the parameter columns. See the Comments fields for those instances. Please see dateset Fact Sheet (on DEQ's Environmental Data Hub: https://geohub-vadeq.hub.arcgis.com/pages/water-datasets ) for metadata including contact information, process steps, attribute descriptions, and distribution information.
