 We \emph\textbf{will} retain smaller sections of all generated coadds, to support quality assessment and targeted science.\dmreq{0338} Retained sections may be positioned to cover areas of the sky of special interest such as overlaps with other surveys, nearby galaxies, large clusters, etc.
 
+\subsubsection{Survey Property Maps}
+\label{sec:spmaps}
+
+Several types of survey property maps will be generated and served to users.
+The properties are typically the mean or total values determined from the images input to generate the \emph{deep coadd}.
+The types of maps will include the total exposure time; the point-source 5-sigma AB magnitude limit; the weighted mean of the PSF moments; the weighted mean of the sky background and sky noise; and the average effect of differential chromatic refraction (DCR) in the right ascension and declination directions, and in the PSF moments.
+Property maps based on statistics measured on \emph{deep coadds} might also be generated.
