Estimates of watershed (12-digit huc) impervious cover and impervious cover near streams and water body shorelines for three dates (2001, 2006, 2011) using NLCD data. Differences between watershed impervious cover and impervious cover near streams can be used to assess the spatial pattern of impervious cover within a watershed. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Wickham, J., S.V. Stehman, L. Gass, J.A. Dewitz, D.G. Sorenson, B.J. Granneman, R.V. Poss, and L.A. Baer.
