Abstract. The Hydrography Maintenance Portal HMP is a website used by trained editors to access data from the USGS National Hydrography Dataset NHD or Watershed Boundary Dataset WBD national databases for the purpose of editing the data to update, correct, or otherwise improve it. HMP is

used by federal employees of the USGS
National Geospatial Program NGP and state partners with which USGS has a signed Stewardship Program Memorandums of Understanding MOU. USGS employees use the HMP
as their primary means of accessing NHD and WBD for data management.
State partners use the HMP to check out areas of the NHD and/or WBD to perform edits and updates to the data using their specialized, local knowledge of the streams in their areas. These data contributions are very important to maintaining the datasets as A16
National Geospatial Data Assets, as well as helping to prevent duplication of data by supporting editing of one primary dataset by many.
Using HMP, NHD or WBD data is checked out from a national database for a select area. No other editor can check out the data for an area when the data is already checked out. The HMP
is not used to directly edit or submit check in data to the national database. Data checked out with HMP
must be edited with USGS hydrography editing tools, such as the WBD Edit Tool or the NHD Update Tool. To check in data, editors must use the USGS
hydrography editing tools.
Registered users are assigned check out permissions by the HMP
administrators. HMP administrators are a limited group of the USGS NHD/WBD
Partner Support Team. HMP user accounts are necessary because they allow HMP administrators to provide assistance if needed, to coordinate production needs, and enable tracking on the editing history for the datasets through reporting.
HMP has reporting functions to generate production statistics. These reports detail active and previous checkout histories within specified date ranges. The business contact information of the users who checked out the data are visible on these reports.
Any registered user can generate reports with HMP.
HMP reports are frequently used to coordinate essential production needs between states, or between USGS staff and state partners. The reports allow USGS staff to contact partners if there is a problem with their data or allow partners to contact partners in others states to confirm if editing work is planned or occurring in an adjacent watershed.
