FILENAME: POOL_17 DOCUMENTATION DATE: October 20, 1994 DATA THEME: WING DAMS DESCRIPTION: Wing Dam centerlines as arcs with a complete historical database. ABSTRACT: This coverage contains arcs representing the wing dams on the Mississippi River in pool 17. Each arcs represents the centerline of the wing dam as detailed on the 1 inch = 400 feet scale hydrographic survey sheets maintained by the Rock Island District. A historic database detailing the amount of original construction materials used and the repairs done since that time been attached to the arcs. The database contains all repairs to the wing dams up to 1992. STATUS: 90% done GEOGRAPHIC AREA: Mississippi River, pool 17. MAP PROJECTIONS: Universal Transversal Mercator (UTM) zone 15. MAP UNITS: meters DATUM: NAD27 SOFTWARE VERSION: ARC/INFO v. 6.1.1 Sun Sparkstation INTENDED USE OF DATA: This data was designed to be used as a means to locate wing dams in the Rock Island District and to be able to quickly access information pertaining to that wing dam. LIMITATIONS OF DATA: The levee centerlines were digitized off of USACE Rock Island District Hydrographic Survey Sheets (scale 1 inch = 400 feet). The accuracy is estimated to be within 15 feet of its true location.

AUTHOR/AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers PUBLISHED DATE(S): 1984-1993 SCALE: 1:4800 PROJECTION: Stateplane PROCEDURE USED TO CREATE THE DATA:. Wing Dam centerlines were digitized on an ALTEK digitizing table using the software ARC/INFO. ARC/INFO software was then used to project the digitized stateplane coordinate coverage to UTM zone 15 coordinates. COMMENTS: None ARC Attribute File Items (AAT) LENGTH: Length of arcs in meters. (Computer generated) POOL_11#: A computer generated unique identifier. OLD_DAM#: The old dam number is a number assigned to the wing dam on the original hydrographic survey sheets. This number is unique only on its individual sheet. On average 10 to 20 sheets are needed to cover the entire pool. NEW_DAM#: The new dam number is based on river mile. It also is not unique by itself. Often two wing dams, one on each bank, are at the same river mile. DAM_TYPE: This is a one letter description. Detailing which bank the wing dam is on and whether it is a closing dam, which completely banks a side channel or a main channel diversion wing dam. The options are as follows: R = Right bank L = Left Bank CR = Closing Dam, Right Bank CL = Closing Dam, Left Bank LR = Left and Right Bank YEAR BUILT: The year in which the wing dam was originally built. DESIGN_ELEV: The original design elevation to which the wing dam was originally built. Elevation is stated in terms of feet above sea level.(M.S.L. 1912) RECENT_SURVEY: The most recent year in which a detailed hydrographic survey of the wing dam was performed REC_LENGTH(FT) The measured length recorded from the most recent survey. (See attribute 'RECENT_SURVEY' for the year that in which this length was recorded.) RECENT_ELEV The average elevation along the length of the wing dam as measured during the most recent survey. (See attribute 'RECENT_SURVEY' for the year that in which this length was recorded.) RECENT_REPAIR The most recent type of repair work performed to the wing dam and the year in which it was performed. An abbreviation code describing the type of repair is as follows: REP = Repaired EXT = Extended RA = Raised REM = Removed WID = Widened REB = Rebuilt PAV = Paved A typical entry may look as follows: REP 1976 = repaired in 1976 REM 200' 1941 = removed 200 feet in 1941. OTHER_REP_WORK This is a running tally of all of the repair work done since initial construction and prior to the most recent repair. The abbreviations used are as follows: REP = Repaired EXT = Extended RA = Raised REM = Removed WID = Widened REB = Rebuilt PAV = Paved A typical entry may look as follows: REP 1976 REM 200' 1941 REP 1894 PRES_CONDITION A grading scale description of the overall condition of the wing dam as noted during the most recent survey (See attribute 'RECENT_SURVEY' for the year that in which this length was recorded.) Grading scale descriptors are as follows: good fair poor ORIG_ROCK(CY) The total amount of rock used in the original construction of the wing dams as measured in cubic yards. ORIG_BRUSH(CY) The total amount of brush used in the original construction of the wing dams as measured in cubic yards. ORIG_SAND(CY) The total amount of sand used in the original construction of the wing dams as measured in cubic yards. ROCK<1937(CY) The total amount of rock added to the wing from the time of construction up to 1937. (1937 marks the raising of the upper Mississippi from a 6ft channel to a 9ft channel) as measured in cubic yards. BRUSH<1937(CY) The total amount of brush added to the wing from the time of construction up to 1937. (1937 marks the raising of the upper Mississippi from a 6ft channel to a 9ft channel) as measured in cubic yards. SAND<1937(CY) The total amount of sand added to the wing from the time of construction up to 1937. (1937 marks the raising of the upper Mississippi from a 6ft channel to a 9ft channel) as measured in cubic yards. ROCK>1937(TNS) The total amount of rock added to the wing from 1937 to present. (1937 marks the raising of the upper Mississippi from a 6ft channel to a 9ft channel) as measured in cubic yards NOTICE: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers assumes no responsibility for errors in the information.
