Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: The accuracy of this data is based upon the accuracy of the RiverKilometer points located every 10 meters along the centerline of the Sheepscot River and selected tributaries, and also upon the judgement of the Maine Atlantic Salmon Commission biologist responsible for assigning appropriate RiverKilometer points to the true locations of redds counted.
Completeness_Report: This dataset is complete for redd counts on the Sheepscot River from 1984 - 2002.

Source_Contribution: A query of the MaineSalmon.mdb database provided the data on redd counts and RiverKilometer locations which were joined to RiverKilometer points using ESRI ArcInfo 8.3 to create a spatial dataset that includes the redd count data.
Process_Step:
Process_Description: The MaineSalmon.mdb database was queried Microsoft Access to extract all redd counts on the Sheepscot River available as of 3/31/2004, and that data was exported as a .DBF table. That table was edited in Microsoft Excel to correct format errors, and was then joined in ESRI ArcInfo 8.3 to the RiverKilometer point shapefile for the Sheepscot River (sheepkm). Matching records were selected and exported as a new shapefile, which was then edited to remove redundant or irrelevant fields.
