Automated Mobile Data Collection and Analysis Using Corridor Constraints Analyst

Streamlining environmental data collection and spatial analysis of corridor planning projects for NEPA compliance is accomplished with integration of custom handheld ArcPad/GPS applications and the Corridor Constraints Analyst (CCA) ArcGIS exten-sion. Custom ArcPad forms and drop-down menus combined with GPS give the user a simple data collection environment and enforce full attribute collection in the field. Field-verified data is then imported directly into the CCA tool to be analyzed, mea-sured, inventoried, and cataloged.

Documentation of constraints is accomplished through an automated process and pro-vides a detailed report describing the type of constraint and unique ID, precise size and location of each constraint, bearing and distance from the corridor, area impacted, and whether mitigation will be required. A summary report provides a list of impact areas; lengths; and counts by feature, class, and corridor. Currently CCA is being used to quantify environmental impacts to many proposed highways and pipelines.

An unnamed facility potentially had lead contamination in surface soil over 500 acres of hilly and wooded terrain. To minimize costs and maximize efficiency, Shaw Envi-ronmental, Inc., used ArcGIS 8.3 with the Geostatistical Analyst extension to model screening data collected in the field. Coupled with confirmatory samples to verify the lead concentration data, the information generated by Geostatistical Analyst gave inves-tigators insight into which areas had lead concentration levels that exceeded applicable regulatory levels. This allowed for the overall scope of the investigation to be greatly reduced, saving time and money without compromising the quality of the investigation or cleanup.

Shaw Environmental, Inc., was contracted to provide sampling, oversight, and demoli-tion and decontamination services at a former refinery in Oklahoma. A GIS database and tracking system were developed to manage and document the activities of the demolition and decontamination portion of the project.

Nearly 400 features, such as buildings, towers, storage tanks, and piping, were included in the database. Project personnel needed to be able to quickly and easily access the information and display it on maps. To meet that need, a custom interface was designed to query the database and focus the power of ArcGIS, simplifying the process of creat-ing “for information” maps usable by personnel in the field. This ready access to per-tinent information helped managers deal with the dynamic nature of demolition and decontamination projects.

Shaw Environmental, Inc., designed an interface that would allow nontechnical users to easily query information in an Oracle database and generate an ArcIMS map. The inter-face was designed to prompt the user for all the information needed to return all the relevant matching records. The records consist of analytical information derived from field investigations.


39

The interface prompts users for such parameters as sample medium, chemical com-pound, and level of concern (LOC). Multiple LOCs can be specified. The results are displayed as a table showing location ID, detected concentration, and LOCs exceeded. The user then clicks a button and an ArcIMS map is produced. Locations in the table are hyperlinked so that by selecting a sample location, ArcIMS will zoom to that loca-tion and produce a new map. This is an adaptable application that makes the power of GIS accessible to casual users.

Shaw Environmental, Inc., was tasked by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to evaluate trends in air quality data resulting from the World Trade Center Disaster of September 11, 2001. Data from more than 374,000 samples and 913 analytes collected by state and local agencies was stored in a single database. As part of the data analysis, Shaw Environmental, Inc., evaluated select analytes for geographic and spatial trends using statistical software coupled with ESRI’s ArcView 3.2.

A statistical model of the selected analytes was first generated. The analyte concentration contours were then superimposed on New York City vector plots using ArcView. Once the contour maps were completed, the analyte data could easily be analyzed for spatial trends over time. The visual representation of the data allowed for a more accurate analy-sis and a more comprehensive understanding of the overwhelmingly large data set.

Shaw Environmental, Inc., one of the nation’s largest full-service contractors, provides innovative solutions for environmental and infrastructure projects worldwide. It sup-ports its clients throughout all phases of a project, from planning and permitting through design, construction, operation, demolition, restoration, and redevelopment.

US Positioning Group’s Rhino® Rover for ArcPad offers the user the accu-racy of postprocessed differential global positioning system (DGPS) using

low-cost Garmin GPS receivers. In the field, ArcPad and Rhino Rover for ArcPad work together to record positional data in shapefile format, ready for immediate upload to

the GIS, and simultaneously record carrier phase and pseudorange data in RINEX format for post-processing.

After returning from the field, the data is processed using Rhino Post-Processor PLUS. Differentially corrected shapefiles are then uploaded to the GIS. In addition to a shapefile converter, Rhino Post-Processor PLUS includes an integrated coordinate system conversion engine (GeoCalc by Blue Marble Geographics). The conversion engine permits input and output of any coordinate system, datum, or projection.

Precision in the GIS is often critical to being able to differentiate between and among nearby features on a map layer. Using uncorrected GPS data, the relative positions of two or more archaeological sites,

for example, can appear quite different on a map layer than they would in the real world. Differentially corrected positional information would very accurately show the relative positions of these sites.
