www.ml.nres.usda,gov Dear Ms. Moore:
The Oakland County Lidar Agreement (68-5D21-17-105) for the acquisition of lidar
data was completed on time and delivered to Oakland County. The lidar products were
also accepted by USGS for inclusion to the National Map. When included in the
National Map, this data will be available to the public.
I am happy to inform you that NRCS had available funding to pay for the lidar data we
acquired.. Therefore, NRCS made the decision that we will not be collecting any funds
from Oakland County related to the reimbursable agreement, 68-5D21-17-105.
We appreciate Oakland County's willingness to partner in this project and hope that
you can make good use of this resource. If you have any questions, please contact Dan
Vasher at dan.vasher@mi.usda.gov.
Regards,
GARR
