The StreamCat Dataset: Accumulated Attributes for NHDPlusV2 (Version 2.1) Catchments for the Conterminous United States: State Soil Geographic Database (STATSGO) (KFFACT)

Published by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development (ORD), Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment (CPHEA), Pacific Ecological Systems Division (PESD), | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 04, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-11-13
This dataset represents the soil characteristic within individual, local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds based on the STATSGO landscape rasters. Attributes of the landscape layer were calculated for every local NHDPlusV2 catchment and accumulated to provide watershed-level metrics. This data set is derived from the STATSGO landscape rasters for the conterminous USA. Individual rasters (Landscape Layers) of depth to bedrock (rckdep), organic material (om), percent clay (clay), percent sand (sand), permeability (perm), soil erodibility (KFFACT/KFACT), and water table depth (wtdep) were used to calculate soil characteristics for each NHDPlusV2 catchment. The soil characteristics were summarized to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a continuous data type. The STATSGO data are distributed in two sets, STATSGO_Set1 and STATSGO_Set2, based on common NoData locations in each set of soil GIS layers.
