Digital Terrain Model (bare earth) of parts of Maui and Molokai. Partial coverage Vexcel, Inc. LIDAR of Maui and Molokai were purchased by County of Maui to assist with three-dimensional modeling of structures in areas of higher development. 1'/px, LIDAR-derived, bare earth DEM/elevation raster of parts of Maui and Molokai – specifically, Central Molokai, Kahului, Kihei, Lahaina and Pukalani. XY units: feet, Z units: meters. 

Use Limitations: 1.Disclaimer - This dataset is being placed in the public domain. Any use is allowed except for re-sale. Neither Vexcel, Inc., the County of Maui, nor the State of Hawaii make any guarantees, expressed or implied, regarding its accuracy or fitness of use. Users should verify XYZ values through a licensed surveyor for any engineering application. This data should only be used as a guide, vs. a statement of fact regarding real-world conditions. 

2.Vertical Datum - The originator of this LIDAR dataset, Vexcel Inc. of Boulder, Colorado referenced Z values to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88). NAVD88 is not recognized as a valid vertical reference for the state of Hawaii. Currently Hawaii has no official (de jure or de facto) vertical datum, and NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS) recommends that elevations be referenced to the nearest NOAA tidal gauge. A legacy LIDAR dataset produced in 2013 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) used NAD83(PA11) as its vertical reference. In theory this approach should result in better accuracy for the Z dimension as PA11 is a Pacific plate-centric datum. In comparing flat areas containing neither structures or vegetation, it was found that the Vexcel values sit approximately 4 feet above the USACE dataset. The vertical datum issue was brought to the attention of Vexcel, Inc. Vexcel used the 2013 USACE LIDAR as vertical control to correct their LIDAR data. The (corrected) .las data is shared as it was delivered. As stated above, the use of this data transfers all risks and assumption of responsibility to the user.
