(Olsen); (Olsen_Control_Locations.shp) Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: point digital data Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Tuscaloosa, Alabama Publisher: Geological Survey of Alabama Description: Abstract: Point dataset representing select virtual horizontal and vertical control locations used by Olsen in the design and post-construction monitoring of the engineered beach (Orange Beach/Gulf State Park/Gulf Shores 2005-2006 beach restoration project) along the Gulf of Mexico in Baldwin County. Purpose: The data were developed as part of ongoing studies on coastal erosion as part of the Alabama Coastal Zone Management Program.

None of these data shall be electronically duplicated on magnetic or optical media for use by others, in whole or in part, without permission of the Geological Survey of Alabama. Any hardcopies utilizing these datasets shall clearly indicate their source. If the data are modified in any way by the user, the user is obligated to describe the types of modifications performed on the hardcopy map. User specifically agrees not to misrepresent this dataset, nor to imply that any changes made by the user were approved by the Geological Survey of Alabama. The Geological Survey of Alabama should be acknowledged as the originator of the data. This dataset is to be used as a primary reference source. This is public information and may be interpreted by organizations or others based on needs; however, users are responsible for the appropriate application. Federal, state, or local regulatory bodies are not to reassign to the originators any authority for decisions they make. Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater than those at which they were originally delineated can cause misrepresentation of the data. If enlarged, the data will not yield greater real detail, although it may reveal fine-scale irregularities below the intended resolution of the data. Similarly, where this dataset is used in combination with other data of higher resolution, the resolution of the combined output will be limited by the lower resolution of these data. Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data.

The State Plane coordinates were converted into a common geographic coordinate system using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Corpscon for Windows Version 5.11.07. These coordinates were added to the tabular data. An ArcInfo point coverage was created from the event theme using these geographic coordinates.
