How would I deal with 2 UTM zones in a watershed?

[Eric Salas]

So my watershed boundary falls within 2 UTM zones.  I tried to use the zone that more of your map extent falls within.  And when I used the "get ACPF soils data" in utilities tool, it gives me errors, which I believe is caused by the wrong UTM used.  How could I proceed with this issue?  I would appreciate any help.  Thank you.

Update: I reprojected the files from a UTM zone to Albers Equal Area Conic, and then run the "get ACPF soils data" again.  It worked.  I hope I won't get any problems in the next steps using this projection.  Can anyone confirm if this is fine?  Thank you.

Eric, 

This is what I’ve started doing in Oklahoma. I’ve had several projects that overlapped UTM zones and our GIS specialists recommend Albers Equal Area Conic.

It will be fine to use an Albers Equal Area projection. The key here is to use the same projection throughout. In those situations where two UTM zones are crossed, I will choose one to use and make sure all my data are in that zone. Both the Get ACPF Soils and Get NASS CDL tools will use the projection of the buffered boundary feature class (buf) used as the input argument. Once the ACPF file geodatabase is complete, you could use the Project ACPF Workspace tool to project the data to a different projection.
