CLC Session II - October 7, 20092009 Annual Conference, Cleveland OH
• pre-1994: mechanical orthos!• 4 sets of statewide imagery
– 1994 - 1999: Black & white film– 2001: Color film– 2005: Digital camera 4 bands– 2008: Digital 3 bands with IR retrofit– 2009: Digital 4 bands
• related products – DTM– image classification (LULC,
impervious)

Orthoimagery Projects with USGS 2008/9
Worcester/SpringfieldUrban Areas
Spring 2009 5700 square miles Total project cost $940,000
Spring 2008 Boston Urban Area Total cost $583,000

2008 – Painful lessons learned
• 30 Joint funding agreements • chasing contributors• fiscal year constraints• timing payments to match deliverables• specs were not what we wanted • projection • distribution • sensitive areas
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL
2008 – Some bright spots
• imagery was superb• customers were happy• state contributed survey control for 50 pts• saved municipalities on buy-ups• state got a great product for nothing!• estimates were right on • USGS staff were incredibly flexible, helpful and
patient
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL
2009 – Much less painful !
• set up trust account for payments• anticipated timing issues and matched payments
to deliverables• got commitments in writing early • vendor did projection • sensitive areas • got IR plus retro-fitted for 2008• USGS role saved our agency 30% charge from
State Comptroller • estimates were right on

Funding Breakdown
• 2008– 30 municipalities $208,000– USGS/NGA $375,000– state (sanity)
• 2009– 13 municipalities $132,000– Westover Air Reserve Base $ 8,000– 4 state agencies $630,000– USGS/NGA $170,000

Savings 2008
All municipalities except Boston:
Buy-up Area 351 sq. miles
Est. on-their-own cost per sq mi (based on survey)$1,500
Cost per sq mi through USGS w/out Boston $ 483
Estimated on-their-own costs $526,500Cost via USGS project $169,533
Municipal Partner Savings $356,967
Boston “True Ortho” Area:
Cost (44 sq. miles, some at 80% lap) $39,000
Savings based on bid for “True Ortho” $100,000
Total estimated savings $456,967

Overall Lessons learned
• Perseverance furthers! …communication is good
• Collaborate!
• Trust, respect and leverage each partner’s roles & expertise
At many points the deal could have fallen through
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL
[a few other nit-picky kinds of] Lessons Learned
• Interested municipal partners need cost estimates up front
• Keep unit costs and area units straight, translatable & adjustible: – MassGIS built handy spreadsheet– Communicate costs in terms each player understands or
needs– Fair share estimates– municipal area and tile areas
• Let the vendor do the burdensome stuff, like re-projection and distribution
• Allow lead time for paperwork such as trust account or other
mechanisms requiring multi-agency approvals.

Why the Governor needs orthos
• Current applications that are high priorities for Patrick administration– wind turbine siting– compiling cable maps– adjusting population numbers – one-stop/on-line permitting– environmental regulation enforcement

Image-derived impervious areas provide input for…
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL
Buffer residential structures
Impervious surface, with roads erased, overlaid with parcels, provides a quick and effective residential setback for site screening
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCIL Broadband availability - building points
Broadband initiative aims to analyze service levels down to the individual household. Impervious surface “blobs” shrunk to points provide quick point feature class
NATIONAL STATES GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION COUNCILLand use change – population update
10 years is a long time – ortho supports updates of land use as basis for revised population estimates – important for formula-based funding

April 2001
Wetlands regulation enforcement
Automated change detection identified dozens of violations and led to enforcement actions totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars
Earlier photo- interpretation of wetland boundary simplifies change detection

Ortho – ePermitting
DEP Site Locator
Self-reporting of regulated object locations supports better resource management, such as water budgets, discharge monitoring, evaluation of hazardous material releases etc..

• Very successful publicn-private partnership– Collaboration trusting each partner’s roles
