Terrain Stability Mapping Polygon Attributes (STE_TER_STABILITY_POLYS_SVW)

STE_TER_STABILITY_POLYS_SVW contains Terrain Stability Mapping (TSM) polygons with key and amalgamated (concatenated) attributes derived from the RISC (Resource Inventory Standards Committee) standard attributes. TSM uses air photo interpretation and select field checking to divides the landscape into units using the Terrain Classification System for British Columbia and stability criteria. Polygon attributes include (but are not limited to) surficial material, surface expression, geomorphological processes, drainage class, slope range and stability class. TSM methods include manual air photo interpretation and setting stability criteria supported by selective field checking. This layer is derived from the STE_TEI_ATTRIBUTE_POLYS_SP layer by filtering on the PROJECT_TYPE attribute.

Table created 3/10/2009.Table was last modified 1/14/2010.This feature class is of type POLYGONVIEW, and is projected to PCS_Albers.

There are 1666 FGDB bytes, and 1666 SDE Bytes per row.
