The LakeCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: National Coal Resource Dataset System

Metadata Updated: February 5, 2025

This dataset represents coal mine density and storage volumes within individual local and accumulated upstream catchments for NHDPlusV2 Waterbodies based on the National Coal Resource Dataset System (NCRDS). Catchment boundaries in LakeCat are defined in one of two ways, on-network or off-network. The on-network catchment boundaries follow the catchments provided in the NHDPlusV2 and the metrics for these lakes mirror metrics from StreamCat, but will substitute the COMID of the NHDWaterbody for that of the NHDFlowline. The off-network catchment framework uses the NHDPlusV2 flow direction rasters to define non-overlapping lake-catchment boundaries and then links them through an off-network flow table. The National Coal Resources Data System (NCRDS) began as a cooperative venture between the USGS and State geological agencies in 1975 and focused on the stratigraphy and chemistry of coal. Web pages have been developed to query data within both the USCOAL database and a subset of the USCHEM database. The USTRAT database, due to its size and complexity, was first made available in 2011 for direct query through web pages. The (coal mine sites/AreaSqKm) were summarized and accumulated into watersheds to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a point data type.
