Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Power_plants shapefile and attribution was created using information from websites (Dominion Resources, ODEC, State Cogeneration Projects, Connectiv, Ingenco, VEPT, DEQ).

Logical_Consistency_Report:

These data are logically consistent and topologically clean although no tests were performed. Points are positionally accurate.

Completeness_Report:

Locations were digitized using addresses/directions from websites and DRGs. Most power plants were labeled on the DRG. Others VBMP 2006 imagery.

Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:

The horizontal positional accuracy meets 1:24,000 national map standards.
