2. State agency – Utah Automated Geographic Reference Center (AGRC) – single entity that the USGS and others interface with • Reliance on network coordination through the Utah Interagency Hydrologic Users Group (IHUG) • Partnership strategy: Overview: • Federal • State • Local • Native American

3. State-wide interface between Utah AGRC and federal, Native American, state, and local governmental agencies, entities, and organizations for the programmatic coordination of the stewardship program • Coordinate with all NHD users in the State • Also GIS user groups and geospatial coordinating organizations in Utah • Identify and/or review new programmatic and/or technical procedures (computer programs) that will offer improvements to the program Utah IHUG

5. Utah has a MOU: • In draft • Incorporates both high-res NHD and the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) • Review completed by Utah AGRC and the USGS Utah Water Science Office • Pending review by the IHUG membership

6. State responsibilities and adjacent state coordination: • Utah responsible for the “core” sub-basins; i.e. those sub-basins solely in Utah • Coordinate revisions with adjacent states those sub-basins that are shared • Identify hydrologic POCs for those states

8. Errors or Additions in NHD in Utah • What to do, DO NOT CORRECT, REPORT • Document the error or additions • Shapefile or Geodatabases • Feature Metadata • Submit Feature and metadata to AGRC • AGRC will do the maintenance and submit the corrected data to USGS for reintegration into the National Geodatabases. • AGRC will update their database after USGS
