[GRASS-user] Importing OpenFileGDB question

I downloaded a large .gdb with four layers (fish, areas, points, arcs) and
want to import it to grass-7,9.svn. The process I used in the past isn't
working because the .gdb file doesn't appear to have its CRS defined.

Running ogrinfo -so did not provide any projection information so I used
ogrinfo -al. The top of the file has this information:

Had to open data source read-only.
INFO: Open of `hydrography_publication.gdb/'
       using driver `OpenFileGDB' successful.

Layer name: HYD_PUB_FLOWLINE_FISH
Geometry: 3D Measured Multi Line String
Feature Count: 369515
Extent: (-124.633007, 41.243524) - (-116.463064, 49.000111)
Layer SRS WKT:
GEOGCS["NAD83",
     DATUM["North_American_Datum_1983",
         SPHEROID["GRS 1980",6378137,298.257222101,
             AUTHORITY["EPSG","7019"]],
         TOWGS84[0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","6269"]],
     PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
     UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433,
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
     AUTHORITY["EPSG","4269"]]

All EPSG codes are for the varius datums, while the extent appears to be in
lon/lat. Should I use either EPSG 2992 or EPSG 4326 because the areal
coverage includes Washington and Oregon (and surrounding bits when the
drainage basins extend beyond the state boundaries)?

Regards,

Rich
