The ACPF National Hub is pleased to announce that the results data contributed by various users are now available to the entire community! While this is not the full set of outputs generated by the ACPF Toolbox, it includes most of the important polygons and table data products.
To explore which watersheds have available results data, visit the ACPF in Action Map. This interactive map displays each watershed with available data, the ACPF Toolbox version used to generate it, and the contributing user. By zooming in on a watershed, you can also view the associated results data.
How to Access the ACPF Results Data
The results data is delivered through ArcGIS Online using five distinct services, each representing results from separate sections of the ACPF Toolbox. Not all toolbox outputs are available, but these services focus on the primary data layers and features. Each service supports feature-level downloads, so that you can extract data relevant to your area of interest.
The services and their included features are:
- ACPF Results Stream Network and Catchment Features
- Stream Reach
- Catchments
- ACPF Results Field Characterization Features
- Runoff
- Drainage
- ACPF Results Precision Conservation Practice Siting Features
- Grassed Waterways
- Bioreactors
- Drainage Water Management
- Contour Buffer Strips
- Depressions
- Depression Drainage Areas
- ACPF Results Impoundment Siting Features
- WASCOBs
- WASCOB Basins
- Farm Ponds
- Farm Pond Drainage Areas
- Nutrient Removal Wetlands
- Nutrient Removal Wetland Drainage Areas
- ACPF Results Riparian Assessment Features
- Saturated Buffers
- Riparian Function Assessment
- Riparian Attribute Polygons
- Riparian Catchments
- Two Stage Ditches
Below are the links to the documents with instructions for using the data in both ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online.

Since multiple users are providing these data over multiple toolbox versions, the Hub is trying to standardize the metadata. Documents are created for each feature class, and links to these documents can be found in a metadata field with each service layer. The metadata provides basic information, including any inputs that were used to run the corresponding tool. These inputs are only available for results from version 4 or newer.
Provide Your Results Data
Since these services are built on data provided by ACPF users, you can help complete these services and provide an easy way for other users to utilize your results.
When providing your data, we ask that you remove the DEM data to help reduce the size of your upload, since that data is not included in the results services. If you do not have a full dataset of the layers within the services, that is fine. We will gladly accept any data as long as the stream reach and catchments are provided. After submission, the data will undergo a brief quality assurance check and then be uploaded to the services.
