<DT><I>Purpose:</I></DT>
<PRE ID="original">Massachusetts Beach extent data for BEACH Act, as administered by the US E.P.A.

Data collection: 7/20/2003 - 10/20/2003
Publication: 10/31/2003

Massachusetts Beach Length lines produced by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Bureau of Environmental Health Assessment, in conjunction with the MDPH/Division of Community Sanitation.

Point data were collected in the field by MDPH beach inspectors using global positioning system (GPS) units. To aid in locating the points, the inspectors used as reference MassGIS black and white and color ortho images, street maps, and sandy coastline maps produced by Applied Geographics, Inc. These coastline maps had previously been mailed to local boards of health and state agencies for mark-up of appropriate beach boundary and sampling locations.

The beach points (based on GPS) are accurate to within 10 meters.

Boundary points were then used to manually delineate beach extent lines in ESRI's ArcMap software.</PRE>
