Data Standards Working Group / WGDS Proposl 1: Agency-only Releases; Agency prefix required

« on: April 26, 2016, 12:49:03 PM »

WDFW cannot implement this proposed change and accurately report to RMIS. Internally, we do/have not distinguished between agency-only and true blank wire (the terms are frequently used and reported interchangeably). Moreover, projects use blank wire and agency-only wire for purely mechanical-functional needs like opening diversion gates so may use either non-CWT wire type to accomplish these objectives. If this is implemented as a requirement, WDFW will be forced to submit data of unknown accuracy, with a default (likely incorrect) value of '63' just to get our release data sets to validate.
