USGS Letter re: End of NHD Editing
DWR received this letter on September 30, 2022 from the Director of the USGS National Geospatial Program informing DWR that editing of the NHD will cease and the dataset will become static in 2023. USGS will shift its focus to the next generation of hydrography data, the 3D Hydrography Program.
