The program boundary is located in the northern portion of Lake, Porter, and LaPorte counties and extends into Lake Michigan to the jurisdictional border with Illinois and Michigan. It excludes lands owned, leased, or held in trust for the federal government. At its widest extent, the boundary extends away from the shoreline 17 miles to the Crown Point area and at its narrowest point, less than 2 miles, just north of Hudson Lake in LaPorte County. The boundary follows the 45-mile shoreline and the approximately 52 miles along an east-west trajectory across the Valparaiso Moraine. The western extent of the inland boundary lies along the Indiana-Illinois state line. The northern extent lies along the lakeward boundary and the Indiana-Michigan state line in LaPorte County. The townships that define the inland boundary range from 35 North to 38 North and approximately from Range 1 West to 9 West. The inland boundary includes all or a portion of the following quadrangles: Lake Calumet, Calumet City, Dyer, St. John, Highland, Whiting, Gary, Crown Point, Palmer, Portage, Ogden Dunes, Dune Acres, Chesterton, Valparaiso, Westville, Michigan City West, Michigan City East, LaPorte West, Springville, and New Carlisle."

There are three elements to Indiana’s Coastal Program Area: the inland boundary, the lakeward boundary, and federal areas excluded from the program. Purpose: Federal regulation pursuant to the Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA; 15 C.F.R. § 923.31) requires that the inland boundary of a state’s coastal program include those areas for which management is necessary to control uses that have direct and significant impacts on the following: coastal waters, special management areas, marshes and wetlands that contain flora typical of the region, beaches, transitional areas (namely, areas subject to storm surge; areas containing vegetation that survives because of conditions associated with proximity to coastal waters; dunes and rocky shore areas to the point of upland vegetation), and islands.

Logical_Consistency_Report: The file consists of one closed polygon. No additional checks were conducted. Completeness_Report: The coastal program area is based on Indiana’s Lake Michigan watershed, which encompasses the area that drains into the state’s portion of Lake Michigan through its ditches, streams, wetlands, groundwater supplies, and lakes. The primary watershed that drains the southwestern Lake Michigan subregion (in Indiana) contains the cataloging unit, Hydrologic Unit Code 04040001, Little Calumet-Galien watershed. The Little Calumet-Galien watershed covers portions of Lake, Porter, LaPorte, and St. Joseph Counties in Indiana and all of its waterbodies drain into Lake Michigan. The inland boundary of the program area is defined by section boundaries of the Indiana public land survey system (PLSS) (1:24,000 scale) that encompass the Little Calumet-Galien watershed, with the exception of excluded areas discussed in detail in: NOAA and IDNR (2002) Indiana Lake Michigan Coastal Program and Final Environmental Impact Statement Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Accuracy is no better than that of the source material used to compile this data layer. PLSS section lines at 1:24000 scale were used in the construction of this data set; accuracy is presumed to be better than 100 feet (30.48 meters). Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical accuracy was not a factor in the digital production of the data set.
