Aerial Maps Can these be used to locate outfalls? Determine additional uses for inventory- Design, support for other inventories, etc. Level of use- aid in cost estimates for inventory Will this map approach aid with illicit detection?

Digitized CADD Maps
Data Base Support Tracking system attribute data Design level support Reporting Evaluation/Assessment Inventory organization and location labeling Tracking system attribute data Design level support Reporting Evaluation/Assessment Inventory organization and location labeling
Global Positioning System - GPS Locate outfalls Latitude/Longitude coordinates – Tie into state plain coordinates Assist in establishing unique outfall labeling system Reporting by location Locate Illicit sources Locate outfalls Latitude/Longitude coordinates – Tie into state plain coordinates Assist in establishing unique outfall labeling system Reporting by location Locate Illicit sources
Geographic Information System-GIS Very flexible Multiple layer coverage's for data analysis Becoming more and more main stream Cost is becoming manageable Very flexible Multiple layer coverage's for data analysis Becoming more and more main stream Cost is becoming manageable
Session 2 Review Background – Outfall Definition Aerial Maps – Best used in combination with digital map USGS Maps – Can use, scale and accuracy an issue, but allowed by permit – Low to medium level of coverage Digitized CADD Maps – Medium to high level of coverage, can begin engineering level activities Data base support – Necessary support for all map types Background – Outfall Definition Aerial Maps – Best used in combination with digital map USGS Maps – Can use, scale and accuracy an issue, but allowed by permit – Low to medium level of coverage Digitized CADD Maps – Medium to high level of coverage, can begin engineering level activities Data base support – Necessary support for all map types Global Positioning System (GPS) – Key for locating outfall Lat/Long data Geographic Information System (GIS) – Becoming tool of choice, High level of coverage, can include engineering level data.
