I am making 1.3km resolution spatial surrogates using ArcGIS tools (not the Spatial Allocator). I’ve been trying to track down the raw data that the [EPA 4, 12, and 36 km data](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B4Gx-y00i4D0WjNIdHp4TFptZ1U) are based on, so that my 1.3km surrogates are consistent with these other sets. Where I can find these data?

All shapefiles used for EPA’s surrogates have been posted [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/1idGoi6I3GvKFCcf87O_8zMirM7Gtd0_E).

Which platform are you working on the surrogates for? 2014? 2016? Other?

I’m working on 2017 platform surrogates. Attempting to generate surrogates for two 1.333km domains. Are there updated load\_shapefile.csh and load\_shapefile\_reproject\_multi.csh scripts for the shapefiles [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1tQViUa6b_GAVxgK4hG60ZuWDlSzS-omw)?

You can find the 2017 shapefile loading scripts in the SurrogateToolsDB GitHub repository in the util directory:
