The DR is maintained as a field unit product, therefore all information and recommendations within this report are considered preliminary unless otherwise noted. The final disposition of survey data is represented in the NOAA nautical chart products. All pertinent records for this survey are archived at the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and can be retrieved via https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/. 

Products created during office processing were generated in NAD83 UTM 14N, MLLW. All references to other horizontal or vertical datums in this report are applicable to the processed hydrographic data provided by the field unit.</hsd:branchRemarks>

            <drm:discussion>Multibeam Echosounder data was retrieved from the Port of Corpus Christi website in an ASCII XYZ irregularly spaced point cloud data file in Texas State Plane South, MLLW, US survey feet. The data was converted to NAD83 (2011) UTM 14N using the Vdatum tool. Depths were
converted to meters.</drm:discussion>

            <hsd:discussion>Despite the estimated disposition of this data as being CATZOC B, this data should supersede prior data of higher CATZOC (A1) due to evidence of recent dredging activity in the area in front of Oil Dock 4.</hsd:discussion>
