Data were obtained from mulitple state and federal sources and edited by The Nature Conservancy for use in the Northeast Aquatic Connectivity project and in Chesapeake fish passage prioritization. These data were "snapped" to the U.S. Geological Survey's high-resolution (1:24,000) National Hydrography Dataset, so that dam points are geometrically coincident with stream lines. The data underwent several quality control checks to help ensure dams are in the proper location.</p>
