Remarks:

The purpose of this survey is to provide contemporary surveys to update National Ocean Service (NOS) nautical charts. All separates are filed with the hydrographic data. Any revisions to the Descriptive Report (DR) generated during office processing are shown in bold red italic text. The processing branch maintains the DR as a field unit product, therefore, all information and recommendations within the body of the DR are considered preliminary unless otherwise noted. The final disposition of surveyed features is represented in the OCS nautical chart update products. All pertinent records for this survey, including the DR, are archived at the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and can be retrieved via https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/.

A. Area Surveyed

This hydrographic survey was acquired in accordance with the requirements defined in the Project Instruction OPR-G329-TJ-17.

Data were acquired within the following survey limits:

Northwest Limit Southeast Limit

32° 22' 16.33" N80° 50' 53.43" W

31° 40' 6.49" N79° 18' 45.33" W

B. Survey Purpose

This survey will update the chart to meet the needs of larger ships transiting into Savannah Harbor. The SavannahHarbor Expansion Project (SHEP) is being deepened to prepare for Neo-Panamax vessels, whose increased capacity isexpected to net more than $174 million in annual benefits to the nation1. Larger ships reduce the cost of shipping, butthese ships also have deeper drafts reducing the amount of underkeel clearance. The Approaches to Savannah surveywill provide the data to reduce risk to the transport of those goods.

In addition to supporting the SHEP, Approaches to Savannah will address concerns of migrating shoals and improvingthe positional accuracy of other dangers to navigation. The Port of Savannah handled 10.3% of all U.S. containerizedexports in 2015. The total economic impact of Georgia’s deepwater ports is $84.1 billion, and supports more than369,000 jobs providing approximately $20.4 billion in personal income annually2. This survey will support thenavigational safety commercial and recreational ship traffic at the mouth of the Savannah River.

C. Intended Use of Survey

The entire survey is adequate to supersede previous data.

This survey investigated 16 charted features. Of these, five were located, and 11 were disproved. Figure 2 shows anumbered overview of the area surveyed. The features numbered 4,5,6,7,and 8 (highlighted in green) were located andthe rest were disproved. Refer to the F00693 final feature file (FFF) for more information.

D. Data Acquisition and Processing

Reference the Data Acquisition and Processing Report OPR-G329-TJ-17 (DAPR) for a complete description of dataacquisition and processing systems, survey vessels, quality control procedures and data processing methods.

E. Uncertainty

The values used to calculate total propagated uncertainty (TPU) values are as follows:

Real-Time Precise Point Positioning (RT3P) vertical uncertainty: 0.11mEllipsoidal Referenced Survey (ERS) separation model uncertainty (via VDatum): 0.157mSound speed values: Measured 2m/s, Surface 0.5m/s

Refer to the DAPR section B.4.1 for methods and estimated uncertainty.

F00693 NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson

A custom IHO total vertical uncertainty (TVU) compliance layer was created for the finalized combined uncertaintyand bathymetry estimation (CUBE) surface submitted in correlation with survey F00693. This layer was examinedusing the Pydro QC Tools for conformance to section 5.1.3 in the Hydrographic Surveys Specifications andDeliverables (HSSD).

For the surface F00693_MB_VR_MLLW_Final (a variable resolution CUBE surface), 99.9% of nodes meet IHOorder 1 uncertainty standards. Out of 18,601,807 nodes, 17,074 did not meet IHO order 1 standards. The majority ofthose 17,074 nodes are located on outer beams of the Kongsberg EM 710 multibeam echo sounder (MBES) swath andon features (Figure 3).

Density requirements for F00693 were analyzed using the finalized CSAR QC tools 2 in the Pydro Explorer program.The VR surface meets density 99.5+% of the time.

G. Vertical and Horizontal Control

The vertical datum for this project is Mean Lower Low Water.

The vertical control method used for this survey was VDatum.

The vertical datum for this project is Mean Lower Low Water. No NWLON gauges were used.

The horizontal datum for this project is World Geodetic System (WGS) 1984. The projection used for this survey isUTM Zone 17 North.

USCG DGPS stations were not used.

H. Additional Results

The Kongsberg EM2040 and EM710 multibeams have outer beam artifacts. While the cause is unknown they mostnoticeably appear on DN 309 when the seas got rougher. This also correlates to the nodes that do not meet IHO order 1standards. The charted features that were found have good nadir beam coverage. Refer to the DAPR for more detailedinformation.

I. Approval

As Chief of Party, field operations for this hydrographic survey were conducted under my direct supervision, withfrequent personal checks of progress and adequacy. I have reviewed the attached survey data and reports.

All field sheets, this Survey Summary Report, and all accompanying records and data are approved. All records areforwarded for final review and processing to the Processing Branch.

The survey data meets or exceeds requirements as set forth in the NOS Hydrographic Surveys and SpecificationsDeliverables, Field Procedures Manual, Standing and Letter Instructions, and all HSD Technical Directives. Thesedata are adequate to supersede charted data in their common areas. This survey is complete and no additional work isrequired with the exception of deficiencies noted in the Survey Summary Report.

Hello Kimberly,

Correc on: I meant to say acquiring the full disapproval radius is not required, when you verify the

loca on.

Development is required to achieve the least depth.  In this case development can be a total of two

passes: one pass finding the target, and one pass with water column on.

Thanks,

Starla

Hello Kimberly,

Thanks for asking.  The second proposal is what we were going a er.  Water column is for obtaining

the least depth on a wreck, if a wreck is found.

I am sure you have thought of this... but If you find the wreck and ensonify it, no addi onal

development is required. Ge ng these PA/PD off the chart, as a disproval or a known wreck, will

improve the chart significantly.  Thanks for all the hard work you are all doing out there!

Starla, The project instruc ons men on using object detec on methods with water column data

Or can 200% side scan be used with concurrent mul beam? If the object is found develop with

with every mul beam line run over the radius?

The HSSD does not have guidelines regarding water column data.
